Hi all!

'Alternate' version of Gatch theme, sung by Katse's voice actor. Lots of giggling in the background.

James, can you find the lyrics for this? |

The Gallactor versions of the theme songs come from episode #5 of the Gatchaman radio drama. Episodes 5~7 of the series were parody episodes, and part of the fifth episode was a discussion between Nambu and Katse. In it, Katse parodies several familiar elements from "Gatchaman," including Ken's "White Shadow" speech ("...I am the purple hood that strikes unseen.") and the meeting of I.S.O. Representatives from the first episode of the series (With Gallactor representatives talking about the mysterious God Phoenix, which "...has broken into our secret factory and stolen the uranium that was being used to disturb the world."). The segment ends with Katse expressing his disappointment regarding the lack of a theme song for Gallactor. But he has taken care of that, which he demonstrates by singing those songs.
The audio clip that is on YouTube is from episode #16 of the radio drama, the final episode of the series. That episode featured the Gatchaman voice actors discussing their hopes for the then upcoming "Gatchaman II" TV series, as well as how much they enjoyed doing the radio drama. The trio of parody episodes were by far their favorites, and the highlight from those were Katse's two songs. As they spoke about that, the songs were played, and all the laughing and giggling that can be heard in the clip are the actor's responses to hearing the songs again.
As for the lyrics themselves, here they are:
The opening theme parody;
Dare da. Watashi da. Katse da.
Sora no kanata de shiki o toru
Akuto soroi no Gyarakuta
Inochi o oshinde mi o kakushi
Tetsuju mecha dazo Hikui Ryu
Tobe! Tobe, tobe Gyarakuta
Yuke! Yuke, yuke Gyarakuta
Chikyu wa semai, nigeba wo sagase
Oo, Gyarakuta Gyarakuta
Who is it? It is I. It's Katse.
Commands are given from the far side of the sky
Uniform villainy of Gallactor
Wasting life by hiding one's body
Iron Beast mecha Fire-Eating Dragon
Fly! Fly, fly Gallactor
Go! Go, go, Gallactor
The Earth is small, search for refuge
Ohh, Gallactor, Gallactor
The ending theme parody;
Shuba, shubashuba, shuba
Okoru sosai, oni no X
Mata shippai Gyarakuta
Sekai no haji da
Makeru na tetsuju Tatoru Kingu
Matamata bakuhatsu, daishippai da
Orokamono dayo
Gyarakuta, Gyarakuta
Shuba, shubashuba, shuba
The angry Governor, X the demon
Failed again, Gallactor
The shame of the world
The defeated Iron Beast Turtle King
Exploding again and again, a tremendous failure
You are a fool
Gallactor, Gallactor
I hope this helps!
James

You can certainly see the kernel of Gatchaman in there. Alas, what could have been.
