Monsters a Go Go

Versions
A live recording from Shoot the Monster (20 June 1987 at Yomiuri Hall, Yurakucho), it has an ambient/industrial intro that lasts a minute and a half long intro that plays at the same time as a horror movie chase scene is projected on a spherical balloon on top of a starcase in the centre of the stage; a drum roll comes at the end of the intro and the projection/music end abruptly. Lights come up, a six-piece trumpet section plays a synth horn figure of the song and the rest of the band follows; when the first stanza starts, the balloon pops, revealing Hirasawa from within it. The trumpet section plays all parts in the song that on other versions would be synth horns.
 * Moire Vision, 1987

The guitar is higher on the mix than in any other version.
 * The Physical Atlas of Three Worlds, 1988

An audience recording (30 October 1988 at Shinjuku Loft ), it fades into the outro of "Oh Mama!", which a piano-led transition leads into "Monsters a Go Go". The snare roll that ends the song is different from the previous two iterations.
 * Ashu-on (Sound Subspecies) in the Solar System, 2002

For the 1992 album Long Vacation's Touch vol. 3, Long Vacation recorded "Monsters a Go Go" with new lyrics (by Kera) and a new arrangement. The core melody is played with the same synth horn preset as the Physical Atlas of Three Worlds version, the rest is done with entirely new synth tones, both analog and digital, featuring programmed drums unlike the P-Model renditions' live takes. Also present in the mix are 2 spoken word samples ("its the beginning of a new and excitingly different story!" and "the story which contains more than first meets the ear"), both sourced from "FX & Scratches", a sample pack compiled by DJ/producer Simon Harris for his 1990 album Beats, Breaks & Scratches Vol 5 (the exact provenance of either sample is not yet known). The bridge is carried by interplay between acoustic guitar (instead of the previous versions' electric) and an Under Techno System, and is followed by a swing-style variation on Edvard Grieg's "In the Hall of the Mountain King". Instead on ending on a repeating snare roll, the outro of "Long Long Vacation" is a single word vocal sample.
 * "Long Long Vacation"

On that album, the track segues off of the piece that precedes it, "Introduction": a short electronic song consisting of 2 repeating sections overlaid with a variety of voice samples, some recorded for it, some also sourced from Beats, Breaks & Scratches Vol 5, some sourced from elsewhere. Known sources include "Firecracker" from 1978's Yellow Magic Orchestra by Yellow Magic Orchestra (a cover of a song originally from 1959's Quiet Village: The Exotic Sounds of Martin Denny), "Comic Strip" from 1979's African Anthem by Mikey Dread, "Love Sensation" from 1980's Love Sensation by Loleatta Holloway, the third Snakeman Show sketch from 1980's ×∞Multiplies and 1986's "It's My Beat" by Sweet Tee and Jazzy Joyce from It's Tee Time.

For the 9 June 1995 show of their Last Tour of the 20th Century, where Hirasawa was a guest guitarist, they reverted to the song's original lyrics.
