		Quote: I wonder if "Kitty" would summon a simulacrum of Kat...  The real Kat has already suggested Al Stewart's "The Year of the Cat" as another simulacrum song for her... 
  
Several songs from "Cats" might work as well.

		Well, Doug does use "Song of the Jellicles" when he manifests Kat for a chat at the beginning of chapter 7.

		Here is a song from Hammerfalls latest album "Crimson Thunder". While I like it I think Doug should stear well clear of it, unless for some reason he needed a few demons around. 
On The Edge Of Honour 
                                             Led by temptation into the underworld  
                                                 to absence of season and time  
                                            Soldiers of Fortune, Soldiers of the Night  
                                                  back to back, ready to fight  
                                           Enchanted gardens, where Evil slipped away  
                                                through darkness, fire and rage  
                                          Uncanny demons will dance upon your grave  
                                               as soon as you become their slave  
                                           Surrender or fight, there's nowhere to turn  
                                            The Bringer of Light, where are you now  
                                                  Forever our hearts will burn  
                                            Immortal Riders, Protectors of the Earth  
                                                  lost in the abode of the dead  
                                         Misled through darkness and mislead by desire  
                                                   inside the midst of the fire  
                                           Surrender or fight, there's nowhere to turn  
                                            The Bringer of Light, where are you now  
                                                  Forever our hearts will burn  
                                              Fallen Angels, arise from your graves  
                                                   Free your spirits and unite  
                                         before the blood of the Unicorn colors the night  
                                               From the ruins of hell we shall rise  
                                            On The Edge Of Honour we see the light  
                                                of the Unicorn soaring the night  
                                                         [Lead: both] 
                                                   Born to conquer the fight,  
                                           here we stand with the Future in our hands  
                                             Through fire we'll rise to touch the sky  
                                                         [Solo: Stefan] 
                                                            Oooh... 
                                                         [Lead: both] 
Note this line in particular: 
                 The Bringer of Light, where are you now  
Doesn't Lucifer mean "The Bringer of Light", if so the song repetadly ask where the devil is at the moment. Not a good thing to do.

		when ever cristmas songs come up, I always wonder what Doug's metagift would think of "Cristmas at ground zero" or "the night santa went crazy" by Weird Al . Can any one say Doug dressed in red with lots of big guns?

Even if it  is Mutual Assured Destruction.
 Quote: They Might Be Giants 
The Statue Got Me High 
 
The statue got me high 
The statue got me high 
The monument of granite sent a beam into my eye 
The statue made me die 
The statue made me die 
It took my hand it killed me and it turned me to the sky 
The stone it called to me 
(And now I see the things the stone has shown to me) 
A rock that spoke a word 
(An animated mineral it can be heard) 
And though I once preferred a human being's company 
They pale before the monolith that towers over me 
The statue got me high 
The statue got me high 
The truth is where the sculptor's chisel chipped away the lie 
The statue made me fry 
The statue made me fry 
My coat contained a furnace where there used to be a guy 
The stone it called to me 
(And now I see the things the stone has shown to me) 
A rock that spoke a word 
(An animated mineral it can be heard) 
And as the screaming fire engine siren filled the air 
The evidence had vanished from my charred and smoking chair 
And what they found was just a statue 
Standing where the statue got me high 
And what they found was just a statue 
Standing where the statue got me high 
And now it is your turn 
(Your turn to hear the stone and then your turn to burn) 
The stone it calls to you 
(You can't refuse to do the things it tells you to) 
And as the screaming fire engine siren fills the air 
The evidence will vanish from your charred and smoking chair 
And what they found was just a statue 
Standing where the statue got me high 
And what they'll find is just a statue 
Standing where the statue got you high

		Hmm...I think I'll try to come up with my own complete list of Senshi songs at some point, but here are a few just off the top of my head. 
Mamoru: October Project - Where You Are 
Usagi: Madonna - I'll Remember 
Rei: Dream Theater - Burning My Soul 
Haruka/Michiru: Finger Eleven - Suffocate 
Setsuna: Grey Eye Glances - Close Your Eyes 
Yep, definitely going to try and think of more.  I tried to pick these not necessarily just from the titles, so apologies in advance if some of them seem like somewhat odd choices.

It's from  Apollo 18.
 
On a similar They Might Be Giants note, due to sheer uselessness (though it'd be a different story if Doug could force his metatalent to interperet it as  Dr. Wyrm...):
 Quote: They Might Be Giants 
Dr. Worm 
 
My name is Dr. Worm. 
Good morning. How are you? I'm Dr. Worm. 
I'm interested in things. 
I'm not a real doctor, 
But I am a real worm; 
I am an actual worm. 
I live like a worm. 
I like to play the drums. 
I think I'm getting good, 
But I can handle criticism. 
I'll show you what I know, 
And you can tell me if you think I'm getting better on the drums. 
I'll leave the front un-locked 'cause I can't 
Hear the doorbell 
When I get into it I can't tell if you are 
Watching me twirling the stick. 
When I give the signal, my friend 
Rabbi Vole will pay the solo 
Some day somebody else besides me will 
Call me by my stage name, they will 
Call me Dr Worm. 
Good Morning how are you, I'm Dr Worm 
I'm interested in things. 
I'm not a real doctor, 
But I am a real worm; 
I am an actual worm. 
I live like a worm. 
I like to play the drums. 
I think I'm getting good, 
But I can handle criticism. 
I'll show you what I know, 
And you can tell me if you think I'm getting better on the drums. 
I'm not a real doctor, 
But they call me Dr. Worm.

Huh.  I have that one; I guess I haven't listened to it enough to remember that track.  And I definitely don't know  Dr. Worm.  Hmm.  I wonder if that would summon Mr. Mind from the Shazam continuity...

		Another Song
		
		
		12-03-2002, 12:12 AM 
	 
	
		Rock & Roll Princess, by The Scanty, the second opening to Full Moon wo Sagashite. The lyrics translate, roughly, as: 
"I'll become a rock & roll princess, 
because the rock spirit just makes me dance. 
Rock star, it's exciting, 
to shout out the message of love, 
'Hello', the chime says, and that starts my high-school days. 
I'll raise my hand like always, that's for sure. 
'Good night', the chime says, it's pillow-talk time with my Teddy (bear). 
Heart full of love, I swear this to the starry sky. 
In my polka-dot pants, filled with patches, 
I stamp around and make my way with cool steps. 
I'll become a rock & roll princess, 
because the rock spirit just makes me dance. 
Shine on, oh rock princess, 
Raise your voice for revival!" 
... Likely effects? Well, unless it acted as a summoning song, the two most likely lines for Doug's metagift to latch onto are 'Rock & Roll Princess ni natte' or 'Rock Spirit odoridasu'. In other words, it'd likely either act as a tranformation song, or compel him to dance to it.

		Here's another song from Hammerfalls latest album. If this turns out to be a gatesong, he'd probably be better of staying put no matter what world he's in at the moment rather then using the gate. 
The Unforgiving Blade 
                                        When the sky is turning black, you fear the dawn  
                                        Your inner voice compels you, but you're all alone  
                                           Thy secret sense lies still obscure within your 
                                                      shattered dreams,  
                                                  and all you can do is scream  
                                            Long ago you spoke the words of heresy  
                                         Twenty years of running brings back memories  
                                        All your wisdom made me seek the truth that lied 
                                                            beyond  
                                                       my inner dreams  
                                         "Follow the one that fell from the crimson skies"  
                                      I remember the words, I can never forget your demise  
                                               And now your world's falling down  
                                               For all the games that you played  
                                                 And as your soul's falling down  
                                                You'll meet The Unforgiving Blade  
                                                  Should have seen it coming  
                                                    when you rolled the dice  
                                                   Deeper and deeper, falling,  
                                                   away from your paradise  
                                                         [Solo: Stefan] 
                                           Innocent eyes observing the Crimson Skies,  
                                          awaiting for someone to heal the burning lies  
                                               And now your world's falling down  
                                               For all the games that you played  
                                                 And as your soul's falling down  
                                                You'll meet The Unforgiving Blade

		Creed: What if 
'Forked tongues in bitter mouths  
Can drive a man to bleed from inside out' 
and 
'I know I can't hold the hate inside my mind  
'Cause what consumes your thoughts controls your life' 
Given how LT was acting in the middle of the recent fight I seriously don't think he should use a song that would almost certainly get him that angry. 
Also: 
Bad Religion: Kyoto Now 
'It's a matter of prescience  
No, not the science fiction kind  
It's all about ignorance,  
and greed, and miracles for the blind  
the media parading, disjointed politics  
founded on petrochemical plunder  
and we're its hostages  
If you stand to reason  
you're in the game  
the rules might be elusive  
but our pieces are the same  
and you know if one goes down we all go down as well  
the balance is precarious as anyone can tell  
this world's going to hell ' 
Like most Bad Religion lyrics, it would be way too nasty - I can imagine Doug reading the lyrics and vowing to absolutely NEVER listen to it - just to be safe. OTOH, it is minorly relevant to certain anime universes: BGC certainly and perhaps NGE. Maybe Gasaraki although I freely admit I've talked that topic to death.

		Songs to avoid

		If Doug is playing "Pop Goes the World" himself, it's not so bad as long as the spoken word intro is retained. What good is he, if he's a man without a hat? 
How about "I'm on Fire" by Bruce Springsteen? Not just because of _that_, but:
 Quote: 
Sometimes it's like someone took a knife baby 
edgy and dull and cut a six-inch valley 
through the middle of my soul 
At night I wake up with the sheets soaking wet 
and a freight train running through the 
middle of my head 
  
Ouch. 
"Springtime for Hitler" probably isn't so good either.

		Well, his metagift wouldn't interpret the lyrics that literally...  but it probably wouldn't be too pleasant anyway. 
And yes, we have no "Springtime for Hitler" today...

		I believe this one would qualify as a 'Never Play', not only for it's content but for its prodigious use of banjos and mouth-harps. 
"I'm Destroying the World" by Guttermouth 
Hey Mark its fourth and goal 
Why don't you get your dad a beer 
Then do us all a favor 
Get your punk ass out of here. 
Dear I think our son's retarded 
He likes to read not watch tv 
Mark never plays no football 
With the kids across the street. 
Hey Mom hey Dad yeah sports are great 
if you like touching other men 
but when we touch each other off the field 
well this becomes a sin 
So I understand if you think i'm slow 
but I don't want to be like you! 
Because of you and mommy  
it's what I was born to do. (Yee-hah!) 
I'm destroying the world! 
I don't really give a sh*t  
cuz it feels so g**damn cool! 
I'm destroying the world! 
I don't really give a sh*t, no... 
Sorry, son we understand 
that you just don't fit in. 
So I filled your mom's prescription; 
you'll be one of us again. 
Hey I don't give a sh*t bout what you think 
you made me just who I am! 
I'm taking up the banjo 
to execute my evil plan! (Let's go!) 
I'm destroying the world! 
I don't really give a sh*t  
cuz it feels so g**damn cool! 
I'm destroying the world! 
I don't really give a sh*t, no! 
(Hm...I reckon so...) 
 
All this in a maddening 1:58. First time I heard this song, I was watching NGE and thinking, "What a goof AMV this would make."

		"Detachable Penis" by King Missile 
Try to remember the lyrics 'detachable penis' are constantly said through out the song. 
lyrics-  www.wildcity.com/lyrics/detach.htm
"Big Balls" by AC/DC or Will Oldham 
lyrics-  users.bart.nl/~ljmeijer/o.../balls.htm
"Fuck Me In The Ass From Afar" Trying to find the bands name and the lyrics to this song.  Heard it a few times on the radio before it disappeared.  It has at least 3 chorus breaks from what I remember, all of witch are basically 'fuck me in the ass from afar' repeated a few times.

		Poisoning the Pigeons, by Dr. Demento. 
It's a light, cheerful tune... about how wonderful it is to serve cyanide-coated peanuts to park animals. (Including, but not limited to, pigeons)

		Close, but no cigar. 
Tom Lehrer - Poisoning Pidgeons in the Park 
Thank you. 
Blessed be.

		> Tom Lehrer - Poisoning Pidgeons in the Park 
Well, if you're mentioning Tom Lehrer songs that Doug shouldn't play, the first one to my mind is "The Masochism Tango". 
I ache for the touch of your lips, dear, 
But much more for the touch of your whips, dear. 
You can raise welts 
Like nobody else, 
As we dance to the Masochism Tango. 
Let our love be a flame, not an ember, 
Say it's me that you want to dismember. 
Blacken my eye, 
Set fire to my tie, 
As we dance to the Masochism Tango. 
At your command 
Before you here I stand, 
My heart is in my hand... 
Yeech! 
It's here that I must be. 
My heart entreats, 
Just hear those savage beats, 
And go put on your cleats 
And come and trample me. 
Your heart is hard as stone or mahogany, 
That's why I'm in such exquisite agony. 
My soul is on fire, 
It's aflame with desire, 
Which is why I perspire when we tango. 
You caught my nose 
In your left castanet, love, 
I can feel the pain yet, love, 
Ev'ry time I hear drums. 
And I envy the rose 
That you held in your teeth, love, 
With the thorns underneath, love, 
Sticking into your gums. 
Your eyes cast a spell that bewitches. 
The last time I needed twenty stitches 
To sew up the gash 
That you made with your lash, 
As we danced to the Masochism Tango. 
Bash in my brain, 
And make me scream with pain, 
Then kick me once again, 
And say we'll never part. 
I know too well 
I'm underneath your spell, 
So, darling, if you smell 
Something burning, it's my heart... [hiccup] 
'Scuse me! 
Take your cigarette from its holder, 
And burn your initials in my shoulder. 
Fracture my spine, 
And swear that you're mine, 
As we dance to the Masochism Tango.

		If Doug could manage to stay out of the action, sounds like a great song to use on a massed enemy during a solo operation.
