I remember that I've heard the song back in the early 90's that MC Hammer, one of the artist sang a rap version of "The Addams Family" entitled "Addams Groove". That song sounds kinda weird nowadays. Sometimes they used a snippet of the opening theme song. I always love that song. It came out somewhere around 1992 or something.

I LOVED the film! The FiRST one, the sequel was disappointing. I loved MC Hammer's song--even more, I loved the music video that was also used as a movie trailer--where MC sang and danced with the cast of the film--there was a bit where he gave Morticia that famous Gomez French kiss-up-the-arm! There were quite a few trailers--one where the famous finger snapping bit, with the cast sitting in a theater, and snapping--and Thing snapping, too. After the film debuted, they adjusted it, to say "The Critics give the Addams Family Two Snaps Up..." Maybe Siscal and Ebert did that!
There was also a funny trailer, for Wayne's World, with Dana Carvey and Mike Myers sitting upon the Addams' "stone bench" couch in the "cemetary" snapping their fingers, and singing.."Dah, dah dah..*snap, snap*, Dah, dah dah..*snap, snap*, ...." "Bet you thought it was the Addams Family! But we wanted you to see Wayne's World!..."
I was hoping that a definitive CD of the film would include what was clipped--a longer version of the Mamushka dance, and every one of the trailers. including the Wayne's World one.

Artist: Mc Hammer Lyrics
Song: Addams Groove Lyrics
[You rang?]
(Chorus:)
They do what they wanna do, say what they wanna say
Live how they wanna live, play how they wanna play
Dance how they wanna dance, kick and they slap a friend
[The Addams Family]
Now I was cold coolin', you know [maxin' and relaxin']
Just kickin' it around the house [Oaktown kickin' it]
When a knock, a knock, a knock and a voice yo!
Can Hammer come out? [what's up?]
Now I don't mind [mind] being a friend
And showin' a little bit of flava [flava]
But Wednesday, Pugsley, Gomez, Fester [oh man]
Man, them some strange neighbours
(chorus)
I remember the day I needed to borrow
A little bit of pepper [for my chicken]
The next thing you know, comin' at me
Was a hand with the fingers high steppin' [I'm witcha]
Now I tried to play it along [you know]
And act like I was havin' a ball [ha ha]
But what do I see [yo] a perm with feet [Cousin It]
Standin' about three feet tall [I'm outta here]
(chorus)
Speakin' and thinkin' about the Addams
You know the Hammer is with it [I'm with it]
Act a fool, no bones, Swooop, Goofy and Randy
You know we kick it [the posse]
Now is the time to get in your mind
It's OK to be yourself [be yourself]
Take foolish pride and put it aside
Like the Addams, yo! they def [that's a family!]
(chorus)
[Addams] Too legit
[Addams] Too legit
[Addams] Too legit [Who's too legit?]
[The Addams Family]
[You know what I'm sayin', the Addams]
[Addams] Too legit [oh yeah]
[Addams] Too legit [talkin' 'bout the Addams now]
[Addams] Too legit [I'm saying it's the Addams now]
[The Addams Family]
[Yo! take me to the bridge]
[Thank you Fester]
Oh yeah, yeah
Oh, this is the Addams groove right here, ha ha
[Addams] yeah yeah
[Addams] just like that
[Addams] oh yeah
[The Addams Family] You know you gotta fully understand
They do what they wanna do, say what they wanna say
Live how they wanna live, play how they wanna play
Dance how they wanna dance, kick and they slap a friend
[The Addams Family]
[Addams] Too legit
[Addams] Too legit
[Addams] Too legit
I'm tellin' you I saw the hand
[The Addams Family] Thing, man, I saw
They do what they wanna do, say what they wanna say
Live how they wanna live, play how they wanna play
Dance how they wanna dance, kick and they slap a friend
[The Addams Family] It's the Addams
Yeah, thank you Fester, I needed to go back to the bridge again
Thank you, thank you, now check this out
(chorus)

Thanks for the lyrics, EmpressDR. I like to listen to that song soon.:) I heard that song years ago on the radio.
