Vic Mizzy

LOS ANGELES - The songwriter who wrote the catchy theme songs to "The Addams Family" and "Green Acres" has died. Vic Mizzy was 93.

His manager Jonathan Wolfson says Mizzy died Saturday at his home in Bel Air. He didn't know the cause of death.

Mizzy got his start in vaudeville and wrote songs that were recorded by Dean Martin, Doris Day, Perry Como and Billie Holiday in the 1940s and 50s. His hits included "The Whole World Is Singing My Song" and "With a Hey and a Hi and a Ho-Ho-Ho."

Mizzy has said that he didn't mind if people only remember him for the finger snaps at the start of the "The Addams Family" theme song. After all, he said "two snaps got me a mansion in Bel Air."

Don't worry I didn't know who he was either.  I bet you've probably sung Green acres or Adams Family theme song before.

Okay, stupid story here.  Years ago, several of us are taking a long trip to the mountains.  We start doing TV trivia and the question was, "On Green Acres, what was the wife's name (Show name)?"  No one could think of it.  It's right there but no one could come up with it.  (In the car...no Google)

We pull in to a rest stop and I walk up to the desk and ask the guy working there.  Next thing you know, there's 15 tourists singing the theme song to Green Acres.  Everyone who comes in joins the singing til finally someone says calls out the answer.  Now don't Google it....
