If the world was coming to an end, this Eclectic Method-The Apocamix mash-up would be its theme music.
Taking film clips from contemporary and classic movies with apocalyptic narratives, Eclectic Method brilliantly splices the montages together to form this dance number that's as urgent and pressing as the plots they're paying tribute to. Among the many movies featured in this song mash-up are Mars Attacks, Deep Impact, Cloverfield, Independence Day and even Godzilla.
