Vic Mizzy, R. I. P.

Vic Mizzy, who wrote 'Addams Family' theme, dies - Yahoo! News: "Vic Mizzy, a songwriter who composed the catchy themes for the 1960s sit-coms 'The Addams Family' and 'Green Acres,' has died. He was 93.

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

Due to where the first line ends (and it being early in the morning), I read the line as "Vic Mizzy...dies, Yahoo!" I kept thinking, "Why would someone be happy about that?"

Coffee!
