The Martians in Mars Attacks only ever say 'Rak Rak Rak'.Suzanne wrote:Modern influence
Ragnarök has been the subject of a number of artistic depictions and references in modern culture. Some of these depictions include "Ragnarok" (frieze, 1825) by Hermann Ernst Freund, and "Beginn der Götterdämmerung" (charcoal drawing, 1881) by K. Ehrenberg. The event has inspired the creation of two operas: Richard Wagner's Götterdämmerung (1876) and David Bedford's opera Ragnarok (1983).
Ragnarök has had influence in modern music, including inspiring the name of the Norwegian band Ragnarok (1994), album titles by the American band GWAR's "Ragnarok" (1995), the Faroese band Týr's conceptual album Ragnarok (2006), Swedish band Amon Amarth's Twilight of the Thunder God (2007), and the namesake of the annual (since 2004) German Ragnarök Festival.
In comics and manga, the name of the event is employed in the South Korean manhwa Ragnarok (1995–ongoing)—inspiring the subsequent MMORPG Ragnarok Online (2001)—and Japanese manga Mythical Detective Loki Ragnarok (1999–2004) plus a subsequent anime of the same name (2003).

Considering they cause the end of the world, this sounds like a pun on Ragnarok. http://www.soralounge.com/showthread.php?p=98346 has a link to footage.
