Halloween Tunes: “They’re creepy and they’re kooky”—The Addams Family Theme Song

Freegal has several versions of this song, but look for the one by Vic Mizzy if you want to get the authentic (and by this, I mean television) version of the theme song.

This is one of the most fun Halloween songs, along with “Werewolves of London” (see previous post.)

It’s the finger snaps. The harpsichord is good, too. And how can you fault a song that rhymes “see ‘um” with screa-um?

And I’m really surprised the word “ooky” didn’t enter the popular vernacular. It would be very useful.
