What giant monsters would make a good musical quartet?

  1. What four giant, city-smashing monsters would you like to see do a heartfelt musical quartet number?

  2. What soulful, every-day problems could giant monsters complain about that would anthropomorphize them?

This is part of a new musical project which is… um… a bit too weird to try to explain here. I’ll just let that question speak for itself so you can wonder what I’m up to. :smiley:

I was thinking Godzilla, King Kong, the Fifty-Foot Woman, and … well, I dunno who else. Any ideas?

Oh, I could explain it to you, Cervaise, if you’re interested … but knowing me, you could probably guess most of it. And yes, this does mean I’m ready to start writng music again! :slight_smile:

Maybe the Killer Tomatos could fill in the doo-wop parts.

3

Gamera, of course.

Maybe we can get them together under the name “Destroy Tokyo!”

Godzilla – guitar & vocals
Gamera – drums (on his carapace, of course)
Mothra – winds
Rodan – bass

Big complaint would be those damn power lines they keep getting tangle up in.

I think Bluto from Labyrinth would make a good musician.

(monster grabs Goodyear Blimp, pops it, wraps it around self)

“Does this blimp make me look fat?”

Pfft. Godzilla could never put aside his Atomic Ego long enough to stop doing solo work.

I’m back. Here’s what I’m thinking so far.

King Kong can sing about how he used to be in show business but he just can’t get a job recently.

Godzilla’s song will be dubbed: somebody else will sing it and Godzilla will just mouth along (badly) on stage.

The 50-Foot Woman… not entirely sure what her problem is, yet, but there’s so funny things that could piss off a 50-Foot Woman that I just can’t decide. :slight_smile:

I’m a loss to think of a good fourth city-sized monster, though. Maybe the giant bird from Q. Are there any good (non-Japanese) giant robots, or giant aliens, that could be played on stage by a guy in a suit?

You could also have a giant robot like from the 30s and 40s serials (as seen in The Iron Giant and Sky Commander and the World of Tomorrow). Or how about something in the Giant Blob category (who would of course complain about water retention)?

But Godzilla pretty much needs to be the headliner. Lead vocalist, probably.

Howsabout a singing (and tap dancing) Cthulu?

Are the Internet is for Porn creatures giant enough? (caution: cute porny sound)

Well, if I want to write a musical, I couldn’t well use the characters from somebody else’s musical. That song is from Avenue Q.

Cthulhu definitely has some possibilities. I only worry that his face is the most recognizable part of him, and the actors playing the monsters probably couldn’t be wearing masks.
