The episode opens with a jarringly sweet version of "My Favorite Things" playing over Wednesday’s monologue while she’s tied up—adding twisted cheerfulness as she wriggles free from a killer.
The song plays as the Addams family gets ready to leave for Nevermore. The bittersweet ranchera colors Wednesday’s goodbye with her family and her mother’s wishes she’d spent more time with her daughter. The haunting, nostalgic vibe from Chavela’s voice underlines both the gothic warmth and the looming separations—making a scene about packing the car feel like a permanent, sorrowful farewell, even as they joke about “torment and humiliation.”

As the pounding goth anthem plays, Wednesday and Enid frantically rush to retrieve Wednesday’s only novel manuscript from inside the Founder’s Pyre—just before it’s set alight. The song’s moody urgency perfectly matches the chaos and high stakes of the scene, underscoring Wednesday’s signature mix of dread and dark humor as she grapples with stalkers, secrets, and the literal threat of going up in flames.

Fester wanders the asylum under a dreamy, synthy haze—this 70s tune cranks up the surreal vibes while he tries to blend in and sniff out clues.
As Wednesday hides in the trunk to sneak into the asylum, "All By Myself" comes on the car radio, saturating the moment with irony. The classic lonely ballad blares awkwardly while the driver cluelessly grooves along, totally missing Wednesday stuffed in the back. It's the ultimate musical wink to Wednesday’s current situation—literally alone, smuggling herself into danger, with the world obliviously soundtracked by 70s melodrama. The song's dramatic longing cranks up the absurdity of the "spy-in-the-trunk" sequence, making her solo mission both tense and darkly funny.
Uncle Fester goes in for a dramatically passionate kiss, and suddenly "Scene d’Amour" from Vertigo swells in the background. The whole moment is played with straight-faced melodrama—Herrmann’s lush, emotional strings turn Fester’s goofy lip-lock into something that feels both absurdly epic and hilariously out of place. The music, famous for romantic longing and obsession, turns what should be a campy gag into an oddly touching and cinematic moment, poking fun at classic film romance while still amping up the emotional stakes.
