I thought this just didn't appeal to me. But then the theme song to
Grease kicked in (I think that's what music I heard... has that long long
sustaining note at the beginning... like off a synthesizer?) I think the
physad has to be dancing to use this power.

I'm not digging this one.... I don't think it really fits into the feel of
the game. Well, neither did the disco one, but I thought that one had
entertainment potential at the very least.
