Godzilla Vs. Kong: 20 WTF Moments

20. The Ridiculous Needle Drops

Godzilla vs. Kong's lighter tone compared to the other MonsterVerse movies is cemented in the very first scene, where Kong is shown going about his daily routine on Skull Island - namely scratching his giant ass and taking a shower under a waterfall - set to Bobby Vinton's classic tune "Over the Mountain Across the Sea."

It's just the first of several unexpected needle drops throughout the movie. Later, when Kong is being transported on a barge, Elvis Presley's version of "Loving Arms" can be heard, and in the film's very final scene, Kong swings around Hollow Earth to The Hollies' classic version of "The Air That I Breathe."

If these musical licks don't make it clear you're in for a more playful, less-serious ride than Godzilla: King of the Monsters, nothing will.
