Unexpected! The Martians were defeated by a song

[TheCorrodedMan]

I read somewhere that the reason that song specifically hurts them is because the highest sound ranges humans can listen to just don’t exist on Mars, so the first few seconds of that song are like standing right next to Yellowstone as it goes off; the rest is like having a malfunctioning handsaw rattling around inside your skull until it just…bursts. Imagine the pain of childbirth, now quadruple that. _That’s_ the kind of pain they’re dealing with before their noggins go pop, hence why they all just clutch their heads and waddle around; it’s literally the only thing they can do other than scream.

Don't ever erase Slim Whitman's songs folks...comes in handy during Martian invasions!

When Mariah Carey's "All I want for Christmas Is You" plays for the 37th time.

An absurd plot needs an absurd solution.

[bionicleboy]

Thank you, Slim Whitman for saving the world.

My favorite alien movie of all times. Loved the music and the comedy was to die form

[LeonScottKennedy-ev]

Not gonna lie. I kinda like the song. It feels so chill and relaxing. Like a song you listen to when you just wanna have a break from life.

[OpenMawProductions]

I still think the TOPPs cards had the cooler ending, where we captured the Martian weapons, made our own versions, went to Mars and kicked the crap out of them.

[Timotheus]

Oh, gosh I love the sound of yodel focal music in the morning!...lol...💪💥🔥☠️

The lightning of 0:41 scene always made me feel a bit weird when i was a kid watching this movie :D

[BlastTheBat]

I found this Googling "Defeated by a song" in reference to Earthbound Beginnings, where an alien is driven away by the emotional onslaught of a lullaby sang to him as a child.

Best Tim Burton movies since BeetleJuice, batman, Edward scissorfingers, corpse bride and the nightmare before Christmas

[brovusmarillian]

Imagine? Having the technology to thwart every man made construct and weaponry. Only to be done in by a fucking Slim Whitman song.

[mjparadero]

It’s all fun and games until the aliens discover the noise canceling headphones

[chinitongniggatv]

Now I know that aliens hate 50's songs😂😂😂😂

[matthewjimenez]

Never underestimate the power of music 🎶 🎵

[michaelwhalen]

If I were Slim Whitman, I would sue the hind legs off of Tim Burton. (Right after I got finished laughing, of course...)

[drewharding]

Funniest and best scene in the entire move villains dying from sound waves ha ha!

[brianjones]

The ending would make much more sense if it was a track by the Spice Girls.

I have this on my list and I love to play it with my brother because he watches Mars attacks when I watch it with him, he likes to act one of the Martians at the end
