The Addams Family | Theme | Vic Mizzy

Few television themes are as instantly recognizable — or as delightfully macabre — as The Addams Family Theme, composed by Vic Mizzy in 1964 for the original TV series based on Charles Addams’ gothic cartoons. With its finger-snapping rhythm, playful harpsichord, and quirky lyrics, the theme perfectly captured the offbeat charm and eerie humor of the Addams household.
