"Addams Groove" is a single performed by hip-hop artist Hammer that was released as the theme song to the 1991 film The Addams Family. It was the second single from his 1991 album, Too Legit to Quit, included in the track list for the cassette version of the album but not the CD. The song was his fifth and last top-10 hit in the United States and was the recipient of the Golden Raspberry Award for Worst Original Song at the 12th Golden Raspberry Awards in 1991.
The song was also parodied by Italian comedy music duo Giovanni Alamia and Tony Sperandeo with the title of "Rap Ghiaccio" and was taken from their album of the same year of the release of the song "Brutti, sporchi e monelli".[2]
