So Many years ago, the great minds of Tokyo, had a meeting or two. To feed the world they sought, they finally hatched a plot, involving a new kind of zoo. Where the animals raised would be zapped in their cage, and grow to tremendous size, to yield more food and that's when we knew that this plan was the one to devise. Down on the farm, it's a wonderland. science at work for the good of man, united in our mission to feed the world. Magic here right before our eyes, growing animals to tremendous size, no more hunger for all the boys and girls, here on the farm. Chickens and cows and pigs, are comfortable in their digs, but they have been chose. To be hit with gamma rays, and then have to spend their days, 400 foot tall on the nose. Then be made into chops and fillets, and bacon and nuggets galore, then sit for a while in the frozen food aisle at your local grocery store. Chorus

Sleep, little chicken, and dream your chicken dreams. For tomorrow isn't promised and never what it seems. So lay your weary little head right there in the hay. For you have been chosen, tomorrow's gonna be a big day.

Here in Japan, we know how to do big, whether you be chicken, cow or pig. We've been given orders from High Command, that these animals, they must expand. The food supply, we must increase, to give the world a sense of peace. Animals in, Animals out We've been given the power, so we can play God. To all of us here, it doesn't seem odd, to tamper with nature for we have the right, to feed the world, to save it from blight. We're saving the Earth with our fabulous minds, if you don't see our mission, then you must be blind. Animals in, Animals out.

Chicken cognition, a funky position, extremely self aware. Now I'm dealin with a whole new feelin, and people better beware. In this hour, I feel a new power, coursin thru my veins. My blood is bolin, my brains recoilin, feels like I'm goin insane. For what they've done, I'll make em run, they're gonna have to pay. This one frickin, pissed off chicken,it's gonna start today. I ain't no 20 piece happy meal, you're gonna have to face a feast of me, and you're gonna have to deal.

They made me into a freak, with fiery eves and laser beak. And they killed my family too, prisoners in this hellish zoo. But they made one big mistake, and gave me powers they can't take. Now my vengeance they will feel, and before me they will kneel. The Terror Of Cluckzilla Now then, tell me where to start? Shall we crush their blackened hearts? Or set their cities all ablaze, as they watch and are amazed. As their reign comes to an end, and the animal kingdom will ascend. To rule the world with love and grace, after we eliminate the human race. The Terror Of Cluckzilla

This chicken isn't evil, he is a force of good. He's really not a monster, he's just misunderstood Show him a little mercy and for heaven's sake. Oh, come on now, just give him a break. Please don't shoot that chicken, cause we really need the eggs. We could feed the hungry with the whoppers that he lays. We could help the starvin we could really save the poor. Please don't shoot that chicken anymore. That building he just flattened, well, it was in his way. Can't you tell he's crabby and having a bad day. And those people that he's steppin on, he really means no harm. He just had more room to walk, when he was on the farm. We really need an intervention here, if we just get to know him, they'll be no cause for fear. Maybe he just really needs a friend, not a bunch of guns and tanks, shootin his rear end. Please don't shoot that chicken, cause we really need the eggs. We could feed the hungry with the whoppers that he lays. We could help the starvin we could really save the poor. Please don't shoot that chicken anymore. Let's have some compassion, and try to understand. Maybe a cease fire, before things get out of hand. And if we decide to fight him, how do our chances look? That chicken has a laser, and we could all be cooked. We really think the army should think twice. Maybe he would settle down, if we could all be nice. Listen to the words that we have said, it's really gonna ruin our day if we all end up dead. Please don't shoot that chicken, cause we really need the eggs. We could feed the hungry with the whoppers that he lays. We could help the starvin we could really save the poor. Please don't shoot that chicken anymore.

So Cluckzilla started his attack, destroying towns and farms. Our greatest weapons brought into play, but they didn't do him harm. In the capital city, miles away, the heads of state did meet. How do we stop this demon bird, and bring about his defeat? The General took the floor and said, I've been given a report. We have one ace that's up our sleeve, the Weapon Of Last Resort. I can barely say his name he said, as he spit and stammered. To save the world, we must unleash the robot, Megaton Hammer. From his atomic brain, to his chromium heart, he was built by Man to be the weapon of last resort. He watches in silence as time passes by, waiting for the world to call upon him again. And oh, he longs to fly.... He's a lightspeed hero, avenging super star slammer. He's Megaton Hammer! Still he dreams as he sleeps, of a world that's at peace. No need for him to unleash his terrible power. Weapons are ready, systems are go. Just give the signal, and we'll start the show. And oh, he longs to fly... He's a lightspeed hero, avenging super star slammer. He's Megaton Hammer!

Cluckzilla came out swinging, and fired a laser blast. Megaton swiftly dodged it, and kicked him right in the ass. Cluckzilla tossed a building, which Megaton vaporized. Then the robot fired a missle, that caught the chicken right between the eyes. Feathers versus fusion, the battle went on and on. The monsters fought all through the night, till we could see the dawn. So they continued fighting, and neither one would give an inch. The ground shook with the impact, but neither one would flinch. Then on the third day of the struggle, it was still a stalemate. Megaton dropped his weapon, turned to the chicken and cried WAIT!!! Mankind made us what we are, both capable of mass destruction. Have we truly lost our hearts, victims both of their corruption. To fight each other isn't right, for there would never be a winner. I'd wind up a pile of scrap, you'd end up a chicken dinner. Look inside your feathered brain, and listen close to what I am saying. Maybe we should call a truce, and end this violent game we are playing. Maybe if we fly away, and leave Mankind to it's fate. I believe that they are doomed, and for them it's just too late. So let us go and find a place, where machines and beasts can live and thrive. Untouched by the human race, where harmony will still survive. Live, and let live Live, and let live Live, and let live Live, and let live

Titans clash, in epic battle Not between right and wrong, but ideologies. We, are many things, but what is, is in the end, we are Love and Peace. For in the end, there are no colors, only shades of grey. Only you and I, only peace, only love...

about

The Terror Of Cluckzilla is a love letter to all the giant monster movies that I grew up watching as a kid. It's the soundtrack to a Movie Of The Mind, a concept album that tells the tale of little Clucky as he is transformed from innocent chick into a 400 foot tall radioactive monster!!

A quick synopsis of the songs....

Overture- a grand orchestral track that hints at the amazing story to follow

Tokyo Sunrise- a peaceful track that starts our film on a quiet farm at the base of Mt. Fuji

The Farm- The story of a government run farm where innocent animals are enlarged to tremendous size in an attempt to feed the hungry

Sleep Little Chicken- a sweet lullaby for Clucky as he goes to bed on the night before he is scheduled to be zapped

The Lab- Clucky in enlarged into a huge mega-chicken but something goes wrong!!

Funky Chicken (of death)- The malfunctioning gamma ray machine not only makes Clucky huge but also gives him super intelligence and mutant powers!

The Terror Of Cluckzilla- Now full of wrath and fury the newly born Cluckzilla vows revenge on mankind for what they've done to him

Please Don't Shoot That Chicken- The army starts their attack on Cluckzilla to defend Tokyo against him but an army of protestors tries to stop them!

Enter Megaton Hammer- With the army's weapons having no effect, the government decides to turn to their weapon of last resort, the robot Megaton Hammer!

The Battle Of The Ages- Megaton and Cluckzilla face off in a battle to the death!
