Auditioning for the starring role in the Godzilla movie.
The one that didn't make the cut.

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.

But whoever made that had a clever sense of humor.

You and Tam are so cosmopolitan. :cheers:

I've never seen any Godzillas or heard their sound until now.

Yep. One of my favorite Monster movies of the 1950s.

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!"
