Teenagers from Mars was an unreleased Misfits single.

This legendary 7" is a source of great confusion. The single was originally intended to be released on Plan 9 as PL1003. For unknown reasons (probably lack of funds), the idea was dropped. According to Glenn Danzig, the first acetate pressed was an "acetate master" with "Teenagers From Mars" on both sides. This copy went to George Germain. Glenn then had five special acetates made and distributed them as follows: 1 went to Glenn Danzig; 1 went to Jerry Only; 1 went to Max's Kansas City jukebox; 1 went to CBGB's jukebox, (now owned by Dave FergusonFact|date=October 2008 who drums for Short Sharp Shock); 1 went to George Germain. Several of the copies had a The Misfits logo pasted onto a generic, white paper sleeve with the song titles typed on. George Germain's copy did not. The Max's Kansas City copy supposedly turned up at a New York City record convention in 1987 and sold for around $200. Previously, it had sold at a record store named Golden Disc for under a dollar.

These are the only 6 copies that exist.

"Teenagers From Mars" was covered by new wave band The Network on their album Money Money 2020.
