Fact
1
He lives in the Bel Air district of Los Angeles, California. [September 2004]
2
Every time The Addams Family (1964) theme is played during a major-league baseball game, Mizzy receives royalties.
3
He never had an agent and has always negotiated his own contracts. He still holds the publishing rights for his work.
4
The TV studio producing The Addams Family (1964) didn't want to pay for singers to record Mizzy's theme song. He overdubbed himself singing it three times so that it would sound like a group of vocalists.
