Is that Alvin on lead vocal? What is the history of this version of the
song?  Help!

Those voices are the background vocals - I imagine they have been
electronically altered somewhat, but listen to the full version carefully
and you will hear them in the background.  Now, memory fails me here,
but I believe this was also done on the original version of Godzilla
(released on Specters) as well - listen to the last couple times the
phrase "history shows again and again . . ." is sung - you should be
able to hear this same high-pitched background effect.


You may be right John. I'll have to listen closely to the original. They just
seemed VERY strange, standing out quite a bit, without the original lead
vocals. I also remember the "history shows again and again.. " at the
end. I'll give it a close listen tonight and see if BOC has Alvin on backing
vocals ;).

John, do you know why this is called the "TV version" when was it
used on TV?
