Michael Feinstein (Michael J. Nelson) does his version of the Gamera song.
"The Gamera Song" is a song sung by Joel Robinson, Tom Servo and Crow T. Robot during Experiment #312 to the tune of Gamera's theme in the film Gamera vs Guiron. After the conclusion of the experiment, Michael Feinstein joined Dr. Clayton Forrester and TV's Frank in Deep 13 and gave an annotated performance of an alternate version of the song.

ALL
Gamera! Gamera!
Gamera is really neat!
Gamera is filled with meat!
We've been eating Gamera!
Shell!
Teeth!
Eyes!
Flames!
Claws!
Breath!
Scales!
Fun!!
TOM
Dr. Forrester is kind of a jerk,
And Frank is really dumb, too.
CROW
We have to take part in these lame experiments.
JOEL
But do we complain?
TOM
No!
JOEL
No!
CROW
Yes!
TOM
Huh? So we hi-keeba all over the place.
JOEL
And talk of a thousand wonderful days.
Tom Servo: Everybody now!
ALL
Gamera is really sweet!
He is filled with turtle meat!
Now we have Commercial Sign!
Michael Feinstein Version Lyrics[]
Dr. Forrester: How does the Gamera theme song stack up against songs from yesteryear?
Michael Feinstein: Oh, it's interesting you should ask that because the opening lyric of the Gamera theme song has sort of a Rogers and Hart feel to it. Let me show you what I mean.
FEINSTEIN
Gamera!
Gamera!
Gamera is really neat.
Gamera is filled with meat.
We all love you, Gamera.
Michael Feinstein: But then the second part is a little more fun. It has a sort of George and Ira Gershwin feel to it.
FEINSTEIN
Shell
Teeth
Eyes
Claws
Scales
Breath
Fun
Michael Feinstein: It sort of sneaks up on you. "Boo," it says.
FEINSTEIN
Gamera's enchantment still grows.
He fills our hearts with love.
Gamera's the latest thing.
He fills our hearts with spring, spring, spring!
Anytime you want some moonbeams,
(whispered) Gamera is the thing.
Gamera is really neat!
He is filled with turtle meat.
We all love you, GAMERA!!!
Dr. Forrester: Ah! Kill him. Better yet, I'll kill him. You push the button.
