Vic Mizzy ~ The Addams Family Theme (1:24) ~ 1964
“Two finger snaps and you live in Bel-Air,” Mizzy once said, referring to his success with the “Addams Family” song.
For his theme song, Mizzy played a harpsichord, which gives the theme its unique flavor. And because the production company, Filmways, refused to pay for singers, Mizzy sang it himself and overdubbed it three times. The song, memorably punctuated by finger-snapping, begins with: “They’re creepy and they’re kooky, mysterious and spooky, they’re altogether ooky: the Addams family.”
Vic Mizzy, a film and television composer best known for writing the memorable theme songs for the 1960s sit-coms “Green Acres” and “The Addams Family,” died of heart failure Saturday, October, 17th, 2009 at his home in Bel-Air. He was 93.
