What on Earth!

What on Earth! (French: La Terre est habitée!) is a 1966 National Film Board of Canada animated short co-directed by Les Drew and Kaj Pindal. The film is a mockumentary, introduced in its opening credits as produced by the "National Film Board of Mars" that takes a humorous look at car culture from the point of view of fictional Martians, who mistake automobiles for Earth's true inhabitants and people as their parasites. It attempts to examine the sociology of the automobile as the dominant species on earth, and makes wild guesses about the lifestyle, feeding habits, mating habits and funeral rites of this "species."

Plot

The film shows the earth from the view of the Martian flying machines which did not land but used cameras to film earth society. It then follows one average (what it believes to be) earthling and its civilization, by in effect showing a "day in the life" and how they live it. First, it shows one going through dinner with a precisely regulated feeding (vehicle refueling from a gas pump), then it must take its rest (pulling into an attached garage next to a house), because it will have a busy day the next day.

Earth

Earth /ˈɜːrθ/ (also the world, in Greek: Γαῖα Gaia, or in Latin: Terra) is the third planet from the Sun, the densest planet in the Solar System, the largest of the Solar System's four terrestrial planets, and the only astronomical object known to harbor life.

According to evidence from radiometric dating and other sources, Earth was formed about 4.54 billion years ago. Earth gravitationally interacts with other objects in space, especially the Sun and the Moon. During one orbit around the Sun, Earth rotates about its own axis 366.26 times, creating 365.26 solar days or one sidereal year. Earth's axis of rotation is tilted 23.4° away from the perpendicular of its orbital plane, producing seasonal variations on the planet's surface with a period of one tropical year (365.24 solar days). The Moon is Earth's only permanent natural satellite. Its gravitational interaction with Earth causes ocean tides, stabilizes the orientation of Earth's rotational axis, and gradually slows Earth's rotational rate.

What On Earth

If is doesn't work, if it doesn't work, if it doesn't
work...
What on earth am I doing here
Waiting for the world to stop raining
I shall go out
Before it all goes down the drain
What on earth are you doing there
Looking very much like you don't care
Come on out and see
It's not so bad
You should be glad
And It's so true
You'll feel much better the
wetter you get
We are ever so clean
Cleaner that the tongue on a
washing machine
What on earth was that all about
Granny takes the kids for an outing
Making all they can of the day
What on earth are we wasting time
Waiting for a life of sunshine
Come on out and see
It's not so bad
You should be glad
And it's so true
It could be fine, full of sunshine
If you want to
What on earth am I doing here What on earth are you
doing here
What on earth am I doing here What on earth are you

Comets may have delivered significant portions of Earth's xenon
