Vic Mizzy Obituary
Mizzy died Saturday at his home in Bel Air, his manager Jonathan Wolfson said. He said he didn't know the cause of death.
He wrote songs that were recorded by Dean Martin, Doris Day, Perry Como and Billie Holiday in the '40s and '50s. His hits included "Pretty Kitty Blue Eyes," "My Dreams are Getting Better All the Time," and "With a Hey and a Hi and a Ho-Ho-Ho."
But his most famous work was the theme to "The Addams Family," a tune accented by finger snaps and opening with the cleverly quirky lyrics: "They're creepy and they're kooky, mysterious and spooky, they're altogether ooky: the Addams family."
Mizzy sang the song himself and overdubbed it three times to give the impression of multiple vocalists. He also directed the title sequence where he asked actors who played members of the Addams family to snap their fingers in a bored way.
The enduring tune is often heard during sports games to rally the home team.
"He was smart enough to demand to own the song, which was unheard of at the time. So any time you go to a Lakers game and they play that song, he made money," Wolfson said.
Born in Brooklyn, New York, Mizzy learned to play the piano as a child. In his teens, he teamed up with Irving Taylor and began writing songs and sketches for variety shows. They won a pair of radio contests and toured the East Coast vaudeville circuit. While serving in the U.S. Navy during World War II, the pair wrote several hit songs, including "Three Little Sisters" and "Take It Easy."
Mizzy later composed and wrote songs for television and film, most recently a song for "Spiderman 2" which ended up on the DVD version of the movie.
He is survived by a brother, daughter and two grandchildren.

I wish I found this earlier. I've been a fan of Vic Mizzy's musical talent since I was six. I remember the age, because that's when "The Addams Family" premiered. You were not only the greatest composer, but you were, a great human being. I watched your interview on the American Archives video, you did back on March of 2004.
You are greatly missed. You were that one spark in the Universe that was so unique, that never has or ever will be seen or heard from again.
My deepest condolences to your loving family. It's true. The whole world is singing your song.

For Vic...
WEEP NOT FOR ME
Do not weep for me when I no longer dwell among the wonders of the earth; for my larger self is free, and my soul rejoices on the other side of pain...on the other side of darkness.
Do not weep for me, for I am a ray of sunshine that touches your skin, a tropical breeze upon your face, the hush of joy within your heart and the innocence of babes in mothers arms.
I am the hope in a darkened night. And, in your hour of need, I will be there to comfort you. I will share your tears, your joys, your fears, your disappointments and your triumphs.
Do not weep for me, for I am cradled
in the arms of God. I walk with the angels, and hear the music beyond the stars.
Do not weep for me, for I am within you;
I am peace, love, I am a soft wind that caresses the flowers. I am the calm that follows a raging storm. I am an autumns leaf that floats among the garden of God, and I am pure white snow that softly falls upon your hand.
Do not weep for me, for I shall never die, as long as you remember me...
with a smile and a sigh.

Dr. Mizzy, aka "Uncle" Vic,
You've played an important role in my life...my family's life...and my dad's life. I will always cherish the memories of your visits to my family's home, your attendance at my wedding in 1982 (the "Mizzy Mafia" picture that was taken!), and when you treated me and Mitch to drinks at the Polo Lounge and Dinner at Mr. Chows!
My thoughts and prayers are with you and your family.
How you can show support

Vic Mizzy will be sadly missed from all of us that grew up watching the shows that he made music for. I watched the 'Adams Family and Green Acres' in the 60s. God Bless his Brother,Daughter and two Grandchildren in their time of sorrow.

What a great loss but the memorable tune of the Addams family lives on...We would hear the music on the television from other parts of the house and come running so we could watch our childhood show what fond memories. Just as we can remember your songs you can be sure Gods promises for you are to likewise be remembered during this time. “The hour is coming in which all those in the memorial tombs will hear his voice and come out, those who did good things to a resurrection of life.”—John 5:28, 29.

It's been a rough 5 years for the Shlonsky/Mizzy cousins. Evelyn, Larry, Wita, and now Vic. They all lived long lives, but it's still hard to let them go.
The world will miss his music.

Our deepest sympathy goes out to the Mizzy family. We have enjoyed the musical talent of Vic Mizzy as a part of our childhood memories and we thank him for that. At this time we know that you are in need of comfort in the days to come and we would like to leave you with a scripture to remind you that Almighty God is always there to provide you with comfort. It is found in the book of 2 Corinthians 1:3,4 which tells us "Blessed be the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, the Father of tender mercies and the God of all comfort, who comforts us in all our tribulation, that we may be able to comfort those in any sort of tribulation through the comfort with which we ourselves are being conforted by God." May you find strenght in the knowledge that God cares about you and that he is always there to provide comfort and to help you through the days to come.

Laid-up in the hospital at age 9 the lyrics to Addams Family were the first I ever analysed for myself. Since then I studied and wrote a bunch of songs and became a writer (of prose not songs!) But I always loved Mr. Mizzy's work and I owe him thanks for the very beginnings of my life's work. So thanks! Rest well.

My daughter's school uses the Addam's Family theme to teach them the days of the week. When the news of Mr. Mizzy's death came on the news and she heard the theme song she said, "Hey that's the days of the week song." I will have memories of Mr. Mizzy for the Addam's Family theme and my daughter will think about the theme every time she remembers how she learned the days of the week.
May your family find comfort while dealing with your loss. (2 Corinthians 1:3,4)

mr. mizzy, i am a white woman in america and i love your music. to this day i still listen to it every night before i go to sleep, sometimes i even fall asleep to it. its such an inspiration to all. i saw in one of your music videos that you were wearing mandals, and i would just like to say that i want them back. you stole them from me and i believe they belong back with their right owner! frankly, i am just very concerned that i have not gotten my mandals back. my mother happened to buy them for me for my 13th birthday, the year i became a teen. now, last night i watched the adams family and gomez had a pair of them on and frankly i believe that they are mine. so im writing this letter stating for you to give them BACK! sincerely, brittany and tiffany wilson :)

The music Vic composed for the Don Knotts movies was fantastic--artistic, fun, and delightfully appropriate. I ordered The Ghost and Mr. Chicken CD a couple of years ago. It sounds especially good when blasted in a convertible with the top down, as well as during the month of October. Thanks, Vic, for really knowing your craft so well. I emailed a friend about your death, and she said she'd stab a painting in your honor. Fitting.

Dear Mizzy Family:
Even with your dad and relative dying at 93, it was too soon. I know he will be missed. I lost my dad several years ago and I am still not accustomed to the idea. But, I have hope that Abraham shared with his son Isaac that all the nations of the earth would be blessed because of his faith. Hold on to that future hope. Take care.

The morning in 1993 that my aunt died at Cedars Sinai Hospital, she sat up in bed and started singing the theme to Green Acres. Simultaneously, across town in Chatsworth, my brother had the same song running through his head! That's my tribute to the influence of Vic Mizzy.

I didnt know who wrote the theme songs for "GREEN ACRES,and ADDAMS FAMILY but they were a part of my childhood and a comforting song when I had a hard day at work. Those songs I could recite anytime anywhere and the feeling I got was warm and secure and then when I had children I introduced them to these shows and as a family we could sit back and watch,laugh,and have a good time and not worry about what had gone on in our lives that day.
MAY GOD BLESS THE FAMILY Vic Mizzy AND MAY HIS BROTHER,DAUGHTER, and GRANDCHILDREN KNOW THE HAPPINESS HE BROUGHT TO ALL OF OUR LIVES WHEN THEY HEAR THESE SONGS... :) Once again MAY GOD BLESS Vic Mizzy and family and KEEP THEM IN OUR LORDS HEALING HANDS.
