Even in context, this is pretty ridiculous

Space songs "could attract alien danger"

Apparently there are those in the science community concerned that songs broadcast to outer space in attempt to make contact with extra-terrestrial beings could attract the wrong kind of attention. I mean I suppose that if we're assuming that sentient alien life-forms are picking up these transmissions, it's not TOO much of a jump to think they may get the wrong idea, but I have a hard time believing that anyone, even from outer space, wouldn't appreciate The Beatles. Now if we start sending them Panic at the Disco songs we might have something to worry about.
