I will watch some of my Green Acres DVDs in Vic’s honour.

Green Acers theme was a masterpiece.... I was born to late catch the Addams Family theme fever. And when the Addams Family did finally make it to cable, The “monsters living next door” thingy was not that funny.

After all, he said "two snaps got me a mansion in Bel Air."

Goys, darkies, they all look green from here.

I like his attitude. God Bless and keep the old songwriter. Because even He could use some humor in the Mel Brooks genre.

The house shown at the beginning of the intro was the Ebeneezer Maxwell Mansion in the Germantown section of Philadelphia. In my early life I lived down the street from it.

Mizzy did various themes other then “Green Acres” and the “Addams Family”. They each had in common telling the “story” of the series.

I have mp3s of Red Buttons singing the theme to his show “Double Life of Henry Phyfe” and the theme to “Captain Nice”. Here is all I can find on youtube.

Addams Family!

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.

Just found his own website, where it has more pictures of him, including one when he was young.

Also, here's his filmography, where it lists every song he wrote.

He also wrote The Night Has a Thousand Eyes (w/ Irving Taylor).
