5.0 out of 5 stars EARWORMS ATTACK, January 5, 2005

Vic Mizzy is a genius when it comes to composing "earworms", you know melodies that you just can't get out of your head even if you want to! To this day I can still sing Mr. Mizzy's public safety song I learned as a kid, "Don't cross the street in the middle, in the middle, in the middle, in the middle, in the middle of the block!" So now this great songwriter who gave us, "Da, Da, Da, Dum, Snap, Snap" (Addams Family TV Theme) and "Green Acres is the place to be" (I bet you're singing them now), has a brand new album, "Songs For The Jogging Crowd" and after just one listening I have all these new earworms crawling around in my head. You will too. My favorite? The New Spider Man Song, of course. This record is a must buy from a true American Musical Master! Five Stars!

This is a superb recording in that it offers Vic Mizzy working his way through catchy little tunes that are light and fun. They make you just want to skip your way through the day like walking on a cloud. I prefer Mizzy when working on film or tv scores but this is a nice and refreshing recording. The musicianship is superb with an excellent guitarist named Del Casher. Also offers plenty of the trademark Mizzy xylphone/vibes/marimba sound which I love. Mizzy actually does the vocals himself and it sounds cool. It also includes the themes from The Addams Family and Green Acres. All in all this is a very entertaining piece of work. I recommend it for all the Vic Mizzy fans.

Who'd have thought that an eighty-something-year-old guy could be so hip? I picked this CD up on a lark, because I knew that Mizzy had written the "Green Acres" theme -- which I love -- and have really been enjoying the disc! It's retro and rollicking, kitschy and cool, and a blast! "Name Dropping" is a hysterical send-up of the "it's not what you know, but who you know" Hollywood name-game, even as "When Your Dreams are Younger Than You" is thoughtful and sweet. And the "Spider-Man 2 Theme" gives the original cartoon melody a run for the money! Admittedly, not every song is a winner, but neither young nor young-at-heart listeners will be disappointed. Two thumbs -- and big toes -- up!
