VIC MIZZY, 93, the Brooklyn-born songwriter who wrote the catchy theme songs to The Addams Family and Green Acres, but also dozens of #1 pop hits like “My Dreams Are Getting Better All the Time,” “Pretty Kitty Blue Eyes” and “The Whole World Is Singing My Song,” as well as such novelty hits like “With a Hey and a Hi and a Ho-Ho-Ho,” “No Bout Adout It” and “Choo n” Gum,” passed away in Los Angeles Saturday night.
His songs were performed by artists including Dean Martin, Doris Day, Perry Como, Billie Holiday and the Andrews Sisters. The always self-effacing Mizzy liked to joke about his popular TV themes, still heard to this at sports arenas and in TV spots.
