"Godzilla" is a single by American hard rock band Blue Öyster Cult, the first track from the band's fifth studio album Spectres. The lyrics are a tongue-in-cheek tribute to the popular movie monster of the same name. Despite failing to chart, the song received significant airplay on rock radio stations[4] and would go on to become a sleeper hit. The song is, along with "(Don't Fear) The Reaper" and "Burnin' for You," one of the band's best-known songs and has become a staple of its live performances. It has been covered by bands such as moe., Racer X, Fu Manchu, The Smashing Pumpkins, Sebastian Bach and Fighting Gravity.[5]

Parodies

In response to the song's absence from the 1998 Godzilla soundtrack, Blue Öyster Cult members Eric Bloom and Buck Dharma created their own parody called "NoZilla",[6] released only to radio stations.

A parody called "Chinchilla" was sung by fictional character Donnie Baker (played by comedian Ron Sexton) in his familiar Kentuckiana accent on the Bob & Tom Show.

In other media

  • The song can be heard in the films Detroit Rock City and Dogtown and Z-Boys.
  • Over a minute of the song was used for a promo for the Godzilla marathons that aired on TNT in the early 1990's.
  • It was featured in an episode of Nip/Tuck.
  • The chorus was used in a car commercial for AutoTrader.com, featuring a giant man grabbing cars out of dealerships to compare them.
  • The song was used as the theme song for Robosaurus in 2013 and 2014.
  • This song was the featured walk-up song for Major League Baseball player Hideki Matsui.
