"Mars Attacks" secret weapon was a ripoff from whom?

You all remember the spoof SF film "Mars Attacks" where the Earth people defeat the Martians by playing awful music. Slim Whitman singing "Indian Love Call" drove the Martians nuts and exploded them.

This comic trick ending was actually a ripoff from someone who years ago used exactly the same method to defeat alien invaders. His original "weapon" was never credited by the Mars Attacks writers.

Can anyone tell me who invented the original "bad music defeats alien invasion" gimmick?
