"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 after fellow P-Funk outfit Parliament's #1 hit "Flash Light". ("Flash Light" was originally penned with Bootsy Collins in mind for the lead vocal; however, Collins turned it down{{Citation needed|date=April 2011}}.) "Bootzilla" failed to make the Hot 100.{{cite book |title= Top R&B/Hip-Hop Singles: 1942-2004|last=Whitburn |first=Joel |author-link=Joel Whitburn |year=2004 |publisher=Record Research |page=85}}
