TV Vlad Cioplea/Netflix With music so good, it could wake the dead. by JM Farkas Dec. 14, 2022

Vlad Cioplea/Netflix Wednesday is not only a smart and funny TV show made from the stuff of a snarky goth teen’s dream, it’s also sneaky way to introduce your kids to some great music (including some classical too). So check out the 10 best songs from Tim Burton's live-action show on Netflix. Vlad Cioplea/Netflix

“Non, Je Ne Regrette Rein” by Édith Piaf

This song adds some French flair to the scene where Wednesday exacts revenge on the water polo team by dropping live piranhas in the pool. “The only person who gets to torture my brother is me,” says Wednesday like the boss she is. Netflix

“In My Dreams” by Roy Orbison

Netflix As Wednesday’s parents make out in the back of the hearse headed to a new school post-expulsion, Orbison’s hit plays in the background to drown out the cringe of the PDA. Netflix

“Paint It Black” by The Rolling Stones

Wednesday plays a mean cello solo with her inspired rendition of “Paint It Black” on a stone balcony replete with gargoyle statues. Luckily, Thing is on hand to turn the sheet music. Vlad Cioplea/Netflix

“Don’t Worry Be Happy” by Bobby McFerrin

Who doesn’t love some boarding school a cappella from the Pitch Slaps? The kids at Nevermore sing this hit in chic pinstripe uniforms just before Wednesday gets an unneeded archery lesson from love interest Xavier Thorpe. Netflix

“Don’t Stop” by Fleetwood Mac

Vlad Ciplea/Netflix Nevermore’s orchestra plays the boppy, classical version of Fleetwood Mac’s “Don’t Stop” that you never knew you needed. Vlad Cioplea/Netflix

“It’s a Shame” by RAC featuring Pink Feathers

Every Christina Ricci cameo deserves a great song to match like “It’s a Shame.” The original Wednesday Addams makes for a dream chaperone and is ready to party with her blue glasses and stylish bangs. Netflix

“Goo Goo Muck” by The Cramps

Vlad Cioplea/Netflix Wednesday shows up to the Rave’N dance as the only party-goer in all-black, carrying an unusual accessory (Medieval mace). In one of the series’ most memorable scenes, “Goo Goo Muck” accompanies this epic plot-twist: Wednesday really knows how to get down! Vlad Cioplea/Netflix

“Sciuri Sciura” by Blonde Redhead

There’s nothing like a cute and moody artist in a half-ponytail. Blonde Redhead’s bop is the budding painter’s song of choice as Xavier splatter-paints his little heart out to work outs his situationship with Wednesday. Netflix

“If I Be Wrong” by Wolf Larsen

Vlad Cioplea/Neflix Above a sea of black wet umbrellas, Wednesday waxes poetic on funerals and her tendency to crash them. As she gets closer and closer to the truth of the show’s murder-mystery, “If I Be Wrong” oozes like a dark lullaby. Vlad Cioplea/Netflix

“Perfect Day” by Hoku

When hottie Tyler Galpin takes Wednesday for a picnic inside a crypt, he screens Wednesday’s version of a horror movie — chipper rom-com Legally Blonde with the upbeat song “Perfect Day” by Hoku. Vlad Cioplea/Netflix
