Ner-ner-ner-ner *click click* ner-ner-ner-ner *click click*… There’s a very strong argument that the great theme tune to a TV show ever is that from The Addams Family. Sadly, the man who wrote it has passed away. Vic Mizzy, film and television composer Vic Mizzy, was aged 93. The Brooklyn-born composer composed the theme tune to The Addams Family in the early ’60s, playing the harpsichord and singing the melody, overdubbing his vocals three times. Last year Mizzy was interviewed on US TV channel CBS, and admitted that the Addams Family theme had served him well financially over the years, “That’s why I’m living in Bel-Air,” said Mizzy. Two finger snaps and you live in Bel-Air.” Mizzy died of heart failure at his LA home on Saturday (Oct 17), reports the Los Angeles Times.
