"Bootzilla" is a song recorded by Bootsy's Rubber Band, released on January 13, 1978. As the lead single from the album Bootsy? Player of the Year, it held the #1 spot on the R&B chart for one week in 1978 (directly following fellow P-Funk outfit Parliament's #1 hit "Flash Light" a song originally penned with Bootsy Collins in mind for the lead vocal, however Collins turned it down). "Bootzilla" failed to make the Hot 100.[1]
The song's lyrics introduce Bootsy's wind-up toy alter ego Bootzilla, "the world's only rhinestone rock-star doll." The track features Bootsy Collins on drums as well as bass guitar.
