Great Lost Soundtracks - Godzilla...


Wow. This blog is really going off the rails. Or so it might seem to the casual observer. The Godzilla OST? Are you serious? Why yes, yes I am.

David Arnold - Opening Titles

This is some pretty epic stuff from the chap who scored the last four James Bond films. Maybe everyone was so gee'd up by the score that the film was kind of a letdown in comparison. Same goes for Godzilla.

Jamiroquai - Deeper Underground

Can it really be nine (9) years since Jamiroquai's last good song? Check the 50 second intro for lessons on how to build suspense. Ha.

Ben Folds Five - Air

What are the other four guys doing these days?

Greenday - Brain Stew (The Godzilla Remix)(!)

'Hmm, how can we shoehorn a popular pop-punk act into this soundtrack? I know! A godzilla remix!'

'Great! In what way shall we remix it oh exalted executive?'

'Hmm... let's keep it exactly the same except we can have Godzilla screeching throughout.'

'Great.'

You won't find this on Hype Machine. XXXclusive!

Video for Deeper Underground. This version is new to me. It's good to see Jay-Kay finding time for some hot-stepping and scatting while everyone else runs screaming for the exits. Fools. You're missing an intimate acoustic gig!

nice, forgot about this bff song.

and let's not ignore the rage song - no shelter I believe...godzilla pure mutherflippin filler to keep your eyes off the real killa.

a few preachy but cool lyrics:

Empty ya pockets son; they got you thinkin that
What ya need is what they sellin
Make you think that buyin is rebellin
From the theaters to malls on every shore
Tha thin line between entertainment and war

Memory erased, burned and scarred
Trade in ya history for a VCR
