GOJIRRA! AHH NOUUU! ITZ GOOOOJIRRA!

Today's Recommended Listening: Godzilla - Blue Öyster Cult
Ahh yes, the 1970's, I don't remember them at all.
But I love this song, I love the low slung, Black Sabbath worthy guitar riff.
Right out of the gate this song is a hit.

By the way, that little Ö character is called an Umlaut.
They added it "because of the Wagnerian aspect of Metal."
From a linguistic viewpoint, this might instead be regarded as a diaeresis.
Many bands have since imitated BOCs Umlaut in their own names.
Motörhead, Mötley Crüe, Queensrÿche, and Spinal Tap.
I thing it is just another example of BOC being ridiculous.
