Hmmm...I wonder?

Who might Doug get if he plays this?

Dont look at me. I'd argue for a Gundam Pilot myself... Hiro seems to be a popular name for them. Of course, given that Doug doesnt really do mecha, that
does kinda put a hole in my sombrero....

I don't suppose Doug's subconscious would twist the request "I need a hero" to conjure up a foot-long sandwich...?

Nah, even he isn't that twisted.

Or is he? 8)

Oh, for Chaos' sake, guys.... If Doug's first exposure to the song is the video ordnance11 provided, there's only one person it
could produce. Who was that masked man?

Dressed all in white, riding a white horse, firing a revolver (so he's not a Herald) -- are you telling me you all missed those
facts?

Nope, Just ignoring them.

If Doug's first exposure to the song is the video ordnance11 provided,

But why would it be?

Doug grew up in LA, so he's probably got at least a passing familiarity with television shows of his youth and young-adulthood... including http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cover_Up]one that used this song as its theme.

Just saying...

But why would it be?

Well, because ordnance11 provided this video and asked:

Who might Doug get if he plays this?

I wouldn't have thought of the Lone Ranger in connection with this song until I saw this video today. But from the
question, I figured ordnance11 was referring specifically to using the video.

Oh, and the Wikipedia entry for the TV show (of which, by the way, I'd never even heard before) indicates that it was somebody else's cover of the
song, not Bonnie Tyler's -- which means playing the opening credits for the show might give him one effect, and the Tyler video could give him another.

Edit: And now I sound like I'm arguing and ranting at people. OK, mea omnia culpa, shutting up now.

Actually, I wasn't suggesting anything when I tossed it out.

However, the thought of Doug's unconscious manifesting Daffy Duck ala "Drip-a-long" Daffy would be intriguing.

Would you believe there was actually a Gower Gulch?...it's now Gower street.

Wow. I don't remember that show at all. (glances at IMDB entry) Huh. The soundtrack listing suggests that this song might have been written as the theme for Cover-Up, and that Tyler's is a cover of the original.

As for what it does... well, it's an old favorite, one of the ones that actually inspired me to create Looney. I'd always envisioned it as spinning him out into multiple instances, each one configured as a classic superhero archetype (brick, blaster, etc.).
