Godzilla

If I ran a game store I would play the song Godzilla by Blue Öyster Cult.

There is definitely room in my fictional game store for some classic rock and Blue Öyster Cult has just the song. Godzilla is about the titular King of Monsters himself. The song is rather sparse on lyrics but what you do get is a few iconic scene descriptions and a chant for Godzilla to depart the city. Just like the original Gojira movie was a warning about the perils of atomic weapons, so too does the song Godzilla close with a warning about the "folly of men". The song is a classic for good reason.

Godzilla was originally released on Blue Öyster Cult's 1977 album, Spectres. It has since been re-released on greatest hits albums and included in soundtracks and other music compilations.

Godzilla lyrics 

With a purposeful grimace and a terrible sound
He pulls the spitting high tension wires down

Helpless people on a subway train
Scream bug-eyed as he looks in on them

He picks up a bus and he throws it back down
As he wades through the buildings toward the center of town

Oh no, they say he's got to go
Go go Godzilla
Oh no, there goes Tokyo
Go go Godzilla

Oh no, they say he's got to go
Go go Godzilla
Oh no, there goes Tokyo
Go go Godzilla

Godzilla

Rinji nyūsu o mōshiagemasu (Receiving breaking news)
Rinji nyūsu o mōshiagemasu (Receiving breaking news)
Gojira ga Ginza no hō ni mukatteimasu (Godzilla is headed towards the Ginza area)
Daishikyū, hinan shite kudasai (Please seek shelter as soon as possible)
Daishikyū, hinan shite kudasai (Please seek shelter as soon as possible)

Oh no, they say he's got to go
Go go Godzilla
Oh no, there goes Tokyo
Go go Godzilla

History shows again and again
How nature points up the folly of men

Godzilla

History shows again and again
How nature points up the folly of men

Godzilla

History shows again and again
How nature points up the folly of men

Godzilla

History shows again and again
How nature points up the folly of men
