Starting with the list that Bob posted on 24 March 2005, and adding in what we've seen in other stories (including a few fragments that Bob either wrote or hasn't objected to) and Bob's comments on songs from The Game Everyone Loves To Play, here's an updated (but unofficial and still incomplete) list of Doug's "Arsenal" that I put together as a reference for Blue Skies, Blue Water.
Since I did put this together as a writer's reference, copyright information is included if known.
Offensive:
99 Red Balloons (English re-write), Gabriela "Nena" Kerner, written by Kevin McAlea, copyright 1983. Creates 99 red balloons, which change into drone jet fighters and ICBMs mid-song and attack a target.

Fire, Arthur Brown. Flame powers, including body of fire.
Fire and Ice, Pat Benatar. Flame powers along and from his right arm, ice powers from his left.
Here Comes The Sun, The Beatles. "Sunbolt" attack from his face. Good against vampires.
Lightning's Hand, Kansas. Lightning and electrical control.
Maxwell's Silver Hammer, The Beatles. Creates a "dancing" chrome hammer which he can direct from a distance.
Pinball Wizard, The Who, copyright 1969, 1993 Fabulous Music Ltd. A rather complicated set of combat-useful abilities, plus some pointless special effects, all linked together with a pinball theme.
Saturday Night's All Right (For Fighting), Elton John. Conjures knives made of solidified energy.
Stalin's Organs, GWAR. Conjures a solidified-energy Soviet BM-8 or BM-13 "Katyusha" rocket launcher.

Freewill, Rush. Renders him immune to mind and emotion control attacks.
I Will Survive, Gloria Gaynor. V&V "Adaptation" power, with side effect of obnoxious self-sufficiency.
Tubthumping, Chumbawumba. Instantaneous regeneration and a "weeble" effect.
Mixed:
Another Brick in the Wall, Part 2, Pink Floyd, copyright 1979 Pink Floyd Music Publishers, Inc. Shapeable force fields with the appearance of white stone blocks.

Transportation:
Don't Stop Me Now, Queen. Flight, with some switchable flame effects.
Fly Like An Eagle, Steve Miller Band. Transformation into giant eagle; flight in eagle form timeslips forward.
Help!, The Beatles. Teleports Warriors to him. (Planetary range, cannot cross dimensional barriers.)
Highway Star, Deep Purple. Gives Doug a rather obvious bonus when taking part in an auto race.
Homeward Bound, Simon and Garfunkel, written by Paul Simon, copyright 1966. Teleportation to his current home.
I'm A Pioneer (English re-write), Sharyn Scott, from "Tenchi Muyo! Ryo-oh-ki", written by Lorraine Feather, copyright AIC-Pioneer LDC Inc. Multimach/FTL flight with variable inertia, immunity to air friction, and vacuum support.

Taxi, by Tom Chapin. Conjures a flying taxi (seats four, speed approx. 200 mph) permanently surrounded by a rain storm.
Thunder Road, Bruce Springsteen. Escape hatch.
Transport of Delight, Flanders & Swann. Summons a traditional, red, double-decker lorry. If none are in the area, it creates a simalcrum of one.

Working My Way Back To You Babe, Frankie Valli and the Four Seasons. Opens gateway from Lincoln Island ("Nadia" slightly-compressed alternate) to ??? (???).
Sensory/Communication:
Electric Eye, Judas Priest. Doug becomes invisible, and gains eyesight with an unlimited viewing range (i.e., as long as it's in his LOS, he can zoom up on it in microscopic detail) and supersentive directional hearing.
Eye in the Sky, Alan Parsons Project. Mass Telepathy.
I Can See For Miles, The Who. Telescopic and X-ray vision, and ability to detect lies.
Message In A Bottle, The Police. Global distress call.
Sweet Dreams, Eurythmics. Lets Doug intrude on and interact in anyone's dream for the duration of the song.
What's On Your Mind (Pure Energy), Information Society. Telepathy, by way of turning into an energy pattern that settles in the target's brain and accesses it at will.
Mind and Emotion Control:

Enter Sandman, Metallica. Area effect nightmares/terror.
Firing Line, Gossamer Axe, written by Gael Baudino, copyright 1990 Gael Baudino. Forces an enemy or enemies to focus their efforts on him alone.

Pressure, Billy Joel. Area effect increase of tension and anxiety (leading to tactical errors when used in combat).
Stickers on Fruit, Nancy White. Everyone in the area of effect is fanatical about nothing but stickers on fruit for the duration.
Take Me To The Pilot, Elton John. Sort of a mind-control song. Doug vanishes, and his consciousness ends up inside a single target, acting kind of like the superego.
Tainted Love, Soft Cell. Forces people to fall out of love for the duration; handy against emotion controllers of a particularly nasty (and perverted) sort.
Tom Sawyer, Rush, written by Geddy Lee, Alex Lifeson, Neil Peart, and Pye Dubois, copyright 1981 Core Music Publishing. A "don't do anything but look at me" compulsion.
Total Eclipse of the Heart, Bonnie Tyler. Area effect emotion control: despair and depression.

Healing and similar:
I'm Alive, Electric Light Orchestra, written by Jeff Lynne, copyright 1980 EMI-April Music, Inc. Healing.
It's All Coming Back To Me Now, Pandora's Box. Doug remembers everything he had forgotten. Then, those things he was supposed to forget would be labled as "Bad/Damaged" sectors in his mental "hard drive" and a mental SEP tagged to the whole thing so he doesn't spend time worrying about it being missing.
Twist of Fate, Olivia Newton-John, written by Stephen A. Kipner and Peter Beckett, copyright 1983 Stephen A. Kipner Music/April Music Inc./Big Stick Music Careers Music Inc. Allows Doug to contact a divine being and bargain for the resurrection of someone recently dead.

Metasongs (Affect the operation of other songs):
I'll Play For You, Seals and Crofts. Focuses an area-effect song on a single target.
Play That Song Again, Joan Jett, Ricky Bird, & Frank Carillo. Makes Doug feel like an alienated, unloved twenty-something. If this song is played through completely, the next song (started within a half-minute) lasts twice as long in the daytime, or all night in the nighttime. The second song cannot be cancelled early.
Miscellaneous:
Anything You Can Do, I Can Do Better, Ethel Merman, from "Annie Get Your Gun". Lets him return any attack which hits him with bonuses to hit and to damage.
Break On Through (To The Other Side), The Doors. Punches holes in walls. Big holes. Very forcefully.
Can't Take My Eyes Off Of You, Frankie Valli and the Four Seasons. Doug keeps one person in his sight no matter what that person does, but Doug is also infatuated with that person.
Get Rich Quick, Richard ("Little Richard") Penniman. When played at a racetrack, the horse Doug bet on wins.
Good Morning, The Beatles. Gives immediate wake-up roll (plus one for each of his actions) to everyone in his area of effect.
I Can't Drive 55, Sammy Hagar. Boosts motorcycle speed above its normal maximums.
I'm So Hot For Her (And She's So Cold), Rolling Stones. Gives a woman of his choice ice powers while giving him fire powers.
In the Air Tonight, Phil Collins. If played at night, Doug recieves a premonition about a semi-random target's near-future actions. Target is someone Doug can recognize on sight, and either dislikes or outright despises.
Invisible Touch, Genesis, written by Tony Banks, Phil Collins and Mike Rutherford, copyright 1985. Lets him give a suite of telekinetic powers to a woman or girl.
Joyful, Joyful/Ode to Joy, from Beethoven's 9th Symphony. Soundtrack of "Sister Act II". Doesn't seem to do anything...
Over the Top, Miki Matsubara, from "Dirty Pair: Project E.D.E.N." Cancels out any feelings that Doug can't do something, whether natural or imposed by a mind-controller, and cranks Doug up to 11.
Spirits In the Material World, The Police, written by Sting, copyright 1981 EMI Music Publishing Ltd./Magnetic Music. Invisibility and non-corporeality.
These Dreams, Heart. Illusions.
Turn It On Again, Genesis. The closest TV set to Doug starts showing his memories of people he knows in any situation he remembers, with accompanying audio over the closest radio. The song works better when Doug's showing images of Maggie, if Maggie's not present.
We Didn't Start The Fire, Billy Joel, copyright 1989 Joel Songs. Full-immersion history lesson for the second half of Warriors' World's twentieth century.
Within You, Without You, The Beatles. V&V "Cosmic Awareness" power.

Eye of the Tiger, Survivor. Transformation into a Siberian tiger.
Rubber Band Man, The Spinners, written by Linda Creed/Thom Bell, copyright 1971. Gives Doug a hyper-flexible body, a la Plastic Man or Mister Fantastic.
Sledgehammer, Peter Gabriel. Full morph abilities.
Turn To Stone, ELO. Transforms him into an animated statue.
Just Plain Weird:
Bananaphone, Raffi. Conjures a cell phone in with the shape, coloration, and feel of a banana. The cell phone is edible.
Bulletproof, Blue Rodeo. Doug's power manifests in such a way that he's indistinguishable from a normal human for the duration of the song - no combat-hype, no improbability field, etc.
The Chain, by Fleetwood Mac, written by Lindsay Buckingham, Mick Fleetwood, Christine McVie, John McVie, and Stevie Nicks, copyright 1977 Gentoo Music, Inc., Now Sounds Music and Welsh Witch Music. Binding attack in the form of golden chains.
Freeze-Frame, J. Geils Band, composed by Seth Justman and Peter Wolf, copyright 1981 EMI/Capital. Limited timestop capability.
Hair, the cast of the motion picture "Hair" (Milos Forman, dir., 1979). Everyone in the area of effect grows a full head of hair, shoulder-length or longer, that obscures their eyes.
Hazy Shade of Winter, Simon and Garfunkel, written by Paul Simon, copyright 1966. Creates a patch of snow on the ground.
Hoplessly Human, Kansas. Used once to help cure Shadowwalker of her arrested vampirism.
I Am The Walrus, The Beatles. "Wand of Wonder" randomized effect.
I Will Follow Him, Chiffons (?). Unerring ability to track a male whom Doug personally likes.
Kodachrome, Paul Simon. Solidified energy 35 mm camera.
The Laughing Gnome, David Bowie. Summons/creates short gnomes that cooperate with Doug for the duration of the song.
Lucy In the Sky With Diamonds, the Beatles. Area effect drug trip.
Montage, from "Team America". Creates a time dilation effect for Doug and someone else as X weeks of training are crammed into 3 minutes. They come out of it starved and exhausted.

Seventy-Six Trombones, from "The Music Man". Creates a full marching band that bulldozes through the area of effect.
Weird Science, Oingo Boingo. High-speed technomagic kitbashing; all the parts must be within the area of effect.
Off-Limits Songs - Do Not Use!
Everyone Has AIDS, from "Team America". Everyone in the area of effect contracts AIDS. (Off-limits for obvious reasons.)
Piece of Crap, Neil Young. Every piece of technology in the area of effect that could malfunction would have a chance of malfunctioning. (Off-limits because Doug doesn't use Neil Young's song.)
