I thought he referred to Duke Bushido. 😂 

 

Were you aware that you can sing the name "Duke Bushido" to the tune of "Hot Blooded" by Foreigner?

 

It makes me somewhat suspicious that I've never seen any member of Foreigner and Duke Bushido at the same time.

 

Duke Bushido

 

Well, I'm Duke Bushido, check it and see
I got a fever of a hundred and three
Come on baby, do you do more than dance?
I'm Duke Bushido, I'm Duke Bushido

You don't have to read my mind, to know what I have in mind
Honey you oughta know
Now you move so fine, let me lay it on the line
I wanna know what you're doin' after the show

Now it's up to you, we can make a secret rendezvous
Just me and you, I'll show you lovin' like you never knew

That's why, I'm Duke Bushido, check it and see
I got a fever of a hundred and three
Come on baby, do you do more than dance?
I'm Duke Bushido, Duke Bushido

If it feels alright, maybe you can stay all night
Shall I leave you my key?
But you've got to give me a sign, come on girl, some kind of sign
Tell me, are you hot mama? you sure look that way to me

Are you old enough? Will you be ready when I call your bluff?
Is my timing right? did you save your love for me tonight?

Yeah I'm Duke Bushido, check it and see
Feel the fever burning inside of me
Come on baby, do you do more than dance?
I'm Duke Bushido, I'm Duke Bushido, I'm hot

Now it's up to you, can we make a secret rendezvous?
Oh, before we do, you'll have to get away from you know who

Well, I'm Duke Bushido, check it and see
I got a fever of a hundred and three
Come on baby, do you do more than dance?
I'm Duke Bushido, I'm Duke Bushido

Duke Bushido, every night
Duke Bushido, you're looking so tight
Duke Bushido, now you're driving me wild
Duke Bushido, I'm so hot for you, child
Duke Bushido, I'm a little bit high
Duke Bushido, you're a little bit shy
Duke Bushido, you're making me sing
Duke Bushido, for your sweet sweet thing

My favorite example of character write-up bloat is Mechanon. None of the GMs I played with back in the day ('80s and '90s) ever had a problem running villains as written up in editions 1-4 of the game. Perhaps this perceived need to spell out every little possible detail is an indicator of how the player base has changed since guys like Steve Peterson and Rob Bell left custodianship of the game in the hands of others.

 

I wouldn't say it's the player base. I'd say it's the author's personal style with the combo of rules changing. As each edition comes around, more points are handed out to players.
