Godzilla was everywhere in the US in the mid-to-late 70's.
Toho Productions had licensed him to Marvel Comics for a comic book series that ran for about 2 years. Toho then struck a deal with Hanna-Barbera for an animated series in 1978, with legendary Doug Wildey, creator of Jonny Quest, assigned as producer. H-B, due to network anti-violence regulations, made Godzilla more of a superhero, with his nephew, Godzooky, on board as comedy relief.
In between, the Blue Oyster Cult paid left handed homage to Godzilla, immortalizing him in song. The video footage is a collection of clips from various movies.
