For what seems like days now I’ve been waiting for the official unveiling of Kobe’s true-to-scale statue of one of my childhood cartoon heroes, Gigantor (Tetsujin). Like many of the stories I gravitated to back then, it was about a boy and his subservient robot.
More memorable than the cartoon, though, was Gigantor’s American theme song, whose cover by The Dickies was celebrated both here and in the UK. You can watch their live version here, but in honor of the big guy’s unveiling, why not check out the original?
