What?! You say that a gigantic, rampaging, fire-breathing monster such as Godzilla should have no place of honor in music history?!
Well, you know who disagrees with you? Patrick Stewart--that's who!
You know who else likes Godzilla in their music television videos? Devo--that's who!
You know who else likes to sing about radioactive Japanese lizards? Jeff Lynne--that's who!
In case you're wondering what Jeff Lynne is saying in Japanese, here's what our good friends on the international interconnected computer network have to say on the matter.

The japanese part is supposed to be a news broadcast. It says:
"Rinji news o moshiagemasu.
Rinji news o moshiagemasu.
Godzilla ga Ginza houmen e mukatte imasu.
Daishikyuu hinan shite kudasai.
Daishikyuu hinan shite kudasai."
Which means quite literally:
"We give you special news.
We give you special news.
Godzilla is turning towards the Ginza district.
As soon as possible take shelter, please.
As soon as possible take shelter, please."

You know, THAT'S what we're missing in today's music--mid-song news bulletins in Japanese! Thanks, Jeff Lynne!
