Searching for a specific song for a specific power

[David Lewis]

I’ve an idea in my head for a specific power, and not a clue what kind of song (if any would achieve it). 

Essentially, a Create A Movie/Music Video power.  Doug would play the song, and the nearest screen (or any other suitable medium) would project a film/movie of what he’d choose - with that caveat it would have to be something he’d actually experienced. 

Like, imagine going for a debrief, and a AMV of the badass fight he’d just been in plays. Or an epic LOTR style film *experience*.

Any thoughts about any kind of movies that would possibly have this, or at least similar effects?

Oh, I noticed a song like that years ago. Now, what was it...

Right, "Turn It On Again" by Genesis. It needs a bit of nudging because it's really not what the song's about, but I think it could work:

All I need is a TV show
That and the radio
Down on my luck again
Down on my luck again

I can show you, I can show you
Some of the people in my life
I can show you, I can show you
Some of the people in my life

Arrhj, I know I've heard the perfect thing for this - it was literally a song about making a movie, or possibly a TV show - but I can't dredge up a single word or note now that I'm trying to think of it.

I like Rob's suggestion but I'd love to know if you ever remembered what song you were thinking of, Drogn...

Not a clue, sorry. I'm still sure I've heard something like that and that it wasn't terrible, but no idea what. Logically, the topic suggests it might have been a parody or pastiche of something more widely known like Weird Al's stuff, but that really does not narrow the field significantly.
