The Addams Family Values: Music from the Motion Picture album was released on Atlas Records in late 1993 to promote Addams Family Values, a sequel to the 1991 film The Addams Family.
[edit] Overview
The album features several hip-hop and R&B based cover songs of 1970s funk/soul songs by artists, including:
- H-Town, who cover The Isley Brothers' "It's Your Thing"
- Shabba Ranks, Patra, and Terri & Monica, who cover Sly & the Family Stone's "Family Affair"
- R. Kelly and Mad Cobra (who cover Isaac Hayes' "Do Your Thing").
A remixed version of Tag Team's then-current hit "Whoomp! (There It Is)", "Addams Family (Whoomp!)", was used as the lead single.
Allegedly, Paramount Pictures had enlisted Michael Jackson to record a theme song for the film.[citation needed] The proposed song — "Is It Scary" — was rejected, and later surfaced on his 1997 album Blood on the Dance Floor (HIStory in the Mix).
