Although humans can fight for good Give it all they've got Men are weak as they're flesh and blood Mazinger is not Without power men are lost in this world where fighting never stops. He fights evil and works for happiness Our Mazinger Z When men's minds yield to evil And their spirits are in chains Mazinger Z Mazinger Z Guard the future of our people You are our hope
We know this world may someday end Lands fall into seas Earth is subject to evil powers Not Mazinger Z Without power men are lost in this world where darkness threatens all. He fights evil and helps keep peace on earth Our Mazinger Z When men's heart yield to evil And their souls can not be free Mazinger Z Mazinger Z Give us courage to fight darkness You are our hope

Sure, there were other movies released in 1959, but I can't think of any that have had as much cultural impact as Plan 9 From Outer Space and the man who made it, Edward D. Wood Jr.
Read the outpouring of appreciation at The Spirit of Ed Wood Blogathon. And remember my friend, future events such as these will affect you in the future.
Koji can swin in the sky he can fly beneath the sea In his robot man Mazinger Z. Mazinger is faster and much stronger than his enemies. Driving from his little Pilder he can protect the peace. From his wrists, fists fly launching a rocket punch… From his chest, laser fire fighting with light energy. Mazing-go Mazing-go Mazinger Z!
Koji can shatter the ground he can make all evil flee In his robot man Mazinger Z. Mazinger is braver and more righteous than his enemies. Steering from his little Pilder he can protect the peace.

No one can compare, to the prince who wears, a medallion on his chest Using all his might, changing wrong to right, Prince Planet, he's the best Now it's no surprise, that he fights bad guys, and he makes the bad guys pay Whether day or night, like a flash of light, Prince Planet's on his way
Here comes Prince Planet Prince Planet
Oh the things he'll do, he'll astonish you, Prince Planet, he's the best With a meteor, with a dinosaur, with a damsel in distress Right before your eyes, from out of the skies, comes the hero of the day Out of the outer space, now to take his place, Prince Planet's on his way
