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

When the teacher caught us listening to this jam when we were supposed to be listening to lessons on cassette! We didn't know about sound bleed.

God I love this song. It is the epitome of late 1970s cheese....the live versions floating around since 1977 are great, as are all the covers. MOAR.

Good even without cowbell!

Too Funny!
Years ago, I lived in a first-floor condominium. The upstairs unit had hardwood floors, and the occupant was a young lady who often walked around in high heels, making LOTS of noise above. My wife and I nicknamed her "Godzilla," and we would blast this song on the stereo whenever we heard our upstairs neighbor tromping around. This song will ALWAYS bring up memories of that neighbor!

This tune has made me laugh since it came out. So simply descriptive and rocking. Why wouldn't one write a song about Godzilla?
There was a version of this made in Alaska by someone that was called "Wasilla" back in about 2000. Local radio used to play it every day at 4:20.
Oh No..GODZIRRA!
A rocker's salute is due!
May I say this is the first time I hear a Cult's song that isn't, you know, the one with the reaper banging a cowbell to scare the seasons off?
Thanks RP <3

Fried the woofers on a good pair of speakers listening to this in the 70s. Was worth it.

Got a kick out of the playlist... Same "Big in Japan" preceded this track today. HaHa!
My wife wrote spoof lyrics to this tune, entitled "Slobzilla" about my teenage stepdaughter. We sent it to Spike O'Neil, he of spoof-song fame and lead singer of Spike & the Impalers. He said he laughed at the funny lyrics and didn't offer to produce it, of course.
Oh well, I still like the track! 6 for the song + 1 for the great BillG segue from "Big in Japan" and +1 for my silly anecdote = solid 80s 8!

The first rock concert my son attended - albeit accidentally. He was 4 or 5, and we had logged at least eight hours at Six Flags amusement park in Dallas. Highlight of the day was him being selected to dance on stage with an assembly of Looney Tunes characters. Just getting dark as we left, he was knackered; perched on my shoulders and slipping in and out of consciousness. As we navigated towards our spot in the North Forty of the huge parking lot, we encountered the edge of a crowd in the falling dusk. Like all herds, they were oriented towards a focal point - which turned out to be a stage. We were maybe 200 feet away when the lights came up. The 70's metal chord storm was unmistakable: Blue Oyster Cult, GODZILLA. Yeah, it was the mid Eighties. SynthPop, Punk and various manifestations of Electronica ruled the day - but for the next four minutes we rocked out to real guitars, old-school percussion and a wonderful little bass break. BOC had long passed from Stadium Gods to a novelty act shilling bargain-basement Disney imitators. Didn't matter. They rocked. We rocked. Travis was fully asleep by the time the band broke into 'Don't Fear the Reaper'. Just so much Foghorn Leghorn and screaming lead runs a little guy can process in one long day.

While far from my favorite band or song this is undeniably a unique R & R tune.
Has to be one of the great tunes from 1977.
Blue Oyster Cult, great band name and had some tunes that they (hopefully) have made them lots of money in royalties.

BOC a guilty pleasure!!!!
The local radio in Anchorage used to play a parody of this song about Wasilla like every day at 4:20. Google "wasilla song godzilla". Anyhow, that's what I hear when this song is played.

Saw these guys in knoxville, TN back in the 70s. The drummer did a little brief solo and strobes flashing all around him with a big Godzilla head on. It was hilarious.

"Big in Japan" and then this? Bravo.
The current 'Godzilla' is Kim Jong Un for Tokyo 
Hi Slope !
Hi Slope !At over 200% to annual GDP, the public debt of Japan is quite Godzilla like!

Def 9 for me just for Long Island high school nostalgia.... anyone else know "Soft White Underbelly"?
This could be NSFW cuz Imma CRANK IT UP!!!
bye
Because, just.
Muahahahaha, from Alphaville - Big in Japan , to Blue Öyster Cult - Godzilla. So funny.
the stereo bouncing God-zilla doesn't really work when you have one ear not hearing squat.
but for the (not really very important) lack of los lobos' kiko and the lavender Moon, or leokottke and margo timmons with Pepe Stop, this has been another voluptuously long and truly inspired set both thematically, lyrically, emotionally and melodically. natalie merchant's apocalypse #205 followed by the staple singers! bufo godzilla! hah! brilliant! these voices! these synapses! thank you and a happy new year to Thee Bill!

Bad then, band now.
Remember seeing BOC at Southampton Gaumont in the 80s, as their previous tour had caused a bit of a stir over the use of lasers, they were banned from using them on the tour i saw. So . . .
they brought fireworks instead.
That was much safer of course.
Still remember the searing heat coming off them 'candles'.
Wonder what it was like for them on stage . . .

Still rocking after all these years. If listeners would delve into some of their non radio air play songs, they would surprised to find an assortment of quality tunes, I Love the Night, Nosferatu, and Astonomy to mention a few. Eric Bloom and Buck Dharma my be in their 60's but they are relentless performers and still got the chops to get a crowd fired up. Kasim Sultan from Todd Rungren's Utopia is currently touring with them.
Would not hurt to hear some Todd here on RP.
They just played Cleveland, Ohio this past week. Per a friend's report, they kicked butt.
Oh, this is just such a feckin' brilliant segue from Big in Japan :)
If I was hearing for the first time - maybe a 5, giving it 8 since it is a classic during my misspent youth.

Saw them at Astroworld Six Flags. Must have been 1979 or 1980. I remember they had a large inflatable Godzilla by the stage spewing fire. Fond memories

Caught them at a rib cook off in Cleveland a few years ago. Ticket price w/discount was 3 bucks. It was fantastic.

Wow!

That same year, 1981, I think, they toured and I saw them jam (Foghat opened!) at the CheckerDome in St. Louis with my buddy Crash. We had a nice supply of nitrous oxide, a big balloon, and a bamboo weed pipe that had a carburetor on the end, and we simply pulled the filled balloon on over that, and employed the Venturi effect to blow the bowl — and our minds — for us. Nitrous injection, man — it was an effect as big as Godzilla!
