All of these arguments are way too intelligent for me.  Perhaps the band was
trying to mainitain some type of link to Godzilla.  Interesting that one of
their most commercially sucessful songs has never been captured graphically
on an album cover or has it?

Get a new cpu my friend.  Experience over youth and if Doomsday can kick
your fanny from here to eternity all those space powers won't do squat
against a stiff upper cut.  Politically this one is probably already written
in stone (i.e,. lets not let our biggest stars, read Peter and Clark, lose).
 Bruce will kick Steve's butt but good.
