Well, that was lovely. :chuckle:
ha!
I had heard that the Godzilla roar was created by rubbing a leather glove covered with resin over the strings of a bass.
So I googled on youtube to listen carefully to the roar, and this one came up in the search.
I about spit every bit of my Dr.Pepper all over the screen!
Cracked me up!

LOL I hate when that happens.
Me too!
But whoever made that had a clever sense of humor.

I prefer the CLASSIC Godzilla sound better.
You and Tam are so cosmopolitan. :cheers:
I've never seen any Godzillas or heard their sound until now.
You haven't lived until you've heard the original Godzilla ROAR!!

Well, I'd better do some googling then, hadn't I? :chuckle:
Yep. One of my favorite Monster movies of the 1950s.

'54 is a ringtone on my phone.
Yep - that's the one.
"It was actually a double bass, using a leather glove coated in pine-tar resin to create friction," Aadahl says. "They'd rub it against the string of the double bass to create that sound."

...and the whole world is Japanese in that movie - and "Godzilla's wrecking the city!"
