The Addams Family - Andrew Gold - MP3 instrumental karaoke

TV theme songs have a unique power over listeners. Not only can they be catchy and enjoyable in their own right, they are also inextricably linked with the shows they accompany, immediately conjuring up images of a group of friends dancing around in a fountain, or Tony Soprano driving from New York to New Jersey. The immensely popular 1964 TV show The Addams Family, following the bizarre adventures of a macabre (yet loving) family, was accompanied by one of the most recognizable theme songs in TV history. In fact, the four opening notes alone are enough for most people to recognize the tune, and they are likely to start snapping their fingers in response. “The Addams Family Theme” was written and arranged by veteran Hollywood film and television composer Vic Mizzy, also known for his work in Green Acres. Aside from lyrics describing how “kooky” the family is, the track also features vocal interjections by actor Ted Cassidy, who played the family butler Lurch on the show, simply uttering the words “neat,” “sweet,” and “petite.”
