Punch, punch, punch with Godzilla and Jet Jaguar!

This is the theme song from Godzilla vs.

Megalon, the 13th film in the Godzilla series, released in March 1973.

It was sung by Masato Shimon, who later scored a massive hit in 1975 with Oyoge! Taiyaki-kun.

Because Shimon has many hit songs for children’s programs—such as Let’s Go!! Rider Kick—he is sometimes referred to as one of the “Big Three of anime songs,” alongside Ichiro Mizuki and Isao Sasaki.

It’s one of the signature songs from the era of “Hirake! Ponkikki.” As a single, it was included as the B-side to “Pata Pata Mama.” Although it has a unique worldview in which various bones start dancing to the beat of drums, it’s a song that feels fun.

It features many eerie words, yet the tone of the electric guitar and the overall sound keep it from feeling scary—another charm of the piece.

It also feels like a song that calls on everyone to have fun together, regardless of species.
