42 "What is that weird sound/voice at the beginning of 'Superman'?" (R.E.M.)

It's reputed to be the sound that occurs when you pull the string on a

news report. Godzilla has been sighted in Tokyo Bay. The attack on it by
the Self-Defense Force has been useless. He is heading towards the city.
Aaaaaaaaagh....")
