This song, to be played at the Yankee Stadium, is a new version of the original which starts off with roaring guitar sound effects (dubbed the �gGuitar Godzilla�h). New guitars have been added to the frequency of the Godzilla roars. The line, �gI�fll cover it all from top to bottom�cLeap on a blasting bullet and off to freedom�h is meant to cheer him on, that he�fll �gslam any pitch into a speeding home run.�h I am honored to be supporting Hideki once again with my rock�fn�froll music. I�fve added the �gbattle cries of the Guitar Godzilla�h that�fs guaranteed to shake up the stadium. Mark my words, I will be flying into New York this year to root for the team, just as soon as I�fve finished my nation wide tour of Japan.
