Contest: Name that tune and win a prize

UPDATE: We have a winner! fixedgear got up early this morning and posted the correct answer: "Godzilla" by Blue Öyster Cult. This song appeared on Spectres in 1977. You can hear a short clip of this song here or click here for a 2 week free trail of Rhapsody and get the whole song. I'm curious: Did anybody run across the Easter Eggs in this post?

I'm testing your cultural knowledge, faithful readers. On Monday's edition of Cyclelicious I made a lyrical music reference in the title of a post. The first person to post a comment in this post with the correct title of the song, group, and the album and year it first appeared wins a $10 gift certificate from Amazon.com. For you to receive this gift certificate I'll need your email address. I'm listening to the song right now. 30 years ago I used to think these guys could sing.

You must provide the name of the song, the group who performed it, the name of the album it was first commercially released on, and the year it was commercially released. The song appeared on at least a half dozen greatest hits and live albums, so be careful. There's an Easter Egg in this post with a big hint; if you're reading this via a feed reader the Easter Egg might not get propogated.

If nobody provides the correct answer by 2 p.m. U.S. Mountain Standard Time on Wednesday, January 8, 2006, nobody wins the contest and no prizes will be given. If you've won something from Cyclelicious in the past couple of months you are not eligible. That means you Nick and GirlsLuv.
