Movie Song of the Week: "Main Theme from Gojira (1954)

This week I post the original theme from the 1954 Japanese monster movie that started it all. I am referring, of course, to Gojira, a film which is better known to Americans as Godzilla.

The theme was composed by Akira Ifukube, who, like all too many composers of movie music, deserves to be a lot more well-known than he actually is. After all, you can't deny that his music creates a certain mood, and I can think of a lot of movie themes that are far less memorable.

Hey, I Don't Remember This Show: Godzilla (1978)

I used to love Godzilla films when I was a child but I don't remember seeing this animated series.

After all, it is not like the original Godzilla movie ever needed that type of comic relief.
