As an Addams family fan, I love Wednesday season 2. As a music fan, I somehow love it even more.

Wednesday season 2 isn’t even over yet, but I already want a vinyl record with its soundtrack, because people, it’s even better than it was in the first chapter.

Music has been integral to Wednesday, and season 2 had quite a bar to hold up to with that gothic soundtrack that matched the overall vibe of the show so perfectly. And it handled the challenge perfectly! Every time the music started to play in season 2, I was squealing with delight — it was a sound Enid would love and Wednesday would hate. Well, Prokofiev does that to you.

I love how this show incorporates classics into the soundtrack instead of bowing down to mainstream music from the charts, but I also already love the modern soundtrack that is yet to come in Volume 2, because we have a new song coming from this season’s guest star, Lady Gaga.

Anyway, here is the list of all songs that we have already heard in Wednesday season 2:

“My Favorite Things” — The Lennon Sisters

We all knew this one was coming, but even the predictability didn’t ruin this song. It was a perfect way to start the new, even darker season.

“Un Mundo Raro” — Chavela Vargas

We had some Chavela Vargas in season 1, and yes, I agree: we didn’t have enough. Thank you, season 2.

“Tropical Island” — Berry Lipman Singers

This song is played in the van that the Addams family passes by as Wednesday and Pugsley arrive at Nevermore.

“Kiss Me” — Sixpence None the Richer

Don’t play this song when you’re having an affair.

“Um Oh Ah Eh” — MAMAMOO

Netflix music supervisors called this one “an Enid song.” I simply couldn’t agree more (although I’m definitely a Wednesday music type of person).

“The Dance of the Knights” — Prokofiev’s Romeo and Juliet

I couldn't wait for more cello from Wednesday, and when I heard Prokofiev, my dark heart melted.

“No Time to Cry” — Sisters of Mercy

This gothic song is played as Wednesday and Enid rush to save Wednesday’s novel from the Founder’s Pyre.

“Nevermore Alma Mater” — Pitch Slaps

Hehe, as a Glee fan, I loved this one.

“Dancing in the Dark” — Bruce Springsteen

Nevermore’s new headmaster, Principal Dort, used this song as his walk-on. Nothing says “Hello, fellow kids” more.

“You Really Got Me Now” — The Kinks

This one is a classic; it immediately makes you feel like you’re in school yourself.

“Voi Che Sapete” — Mozart’s The Marriage of Figaro

But hey, turn The Kinks off — Morticia Addams is here, trying to listen to her own music. Yes, queen.

Dies Irae — Verdi’s Requiem

This classical piece from Verdi’s orchestral setting of the Catholic funeral mass subtly lets us know that Wednesday and Morticia have somewhat similar music taste.

“La Cumparsita” — Roberto Alagna

I have loved this tango since childhood. Hearing it in Wednesday only deepened my love for the show; although it’s hardly as deep as Morticia and Gomez’s love for one another.

“I Walked With a Zombie” — Roky Erickson

But of course. This season is a true feast for the eyes of zombie fans… although I’m not sure I’m one of them.

The Ride of the Valkyries — Wagner’s Die Walküre

This is an educational show, by the way. See how many classical pieces were included?

“Bad Moon Rising” — Creedence Clearwater Revival (cover)

I don’t care, I sang along throughout the entire song. And I will do it again. I might say I love this cover version even more than the original!

“Bésame Mucho” — Pedro Vargas

Of course Gomez would sing this in the shower.

“Losing My Religion” — R.E.M. cover by GnusCello

Ah, my favorite scene of this season also happens to have my favorite song — Losing My Religion — as a soundtrack. I watched it in the show, and then I watched it again, and then I went to rewatch it on reels, and then… (let’s move on).

“I Want to Know What Love Is” — Foreigner

I laughed as hard as I could. For a show that definitely got darker this season, this moment (with this song) was a blast of sunshine.

“Ain’t That a Kick in the Head” — Dean Martin

Is it on-the-nose? Yeah. Is it great? Also yeah. It’s a Fester sequence. It physically can’t be cringey.

“The Andante di Molto” — Mozart’s Symphony No. 34 in C Major, K. 338

But he is an Addams family member, after all, and they love classical music.

“Dream Weaver” — Gary Wright

Remember when Fester reads “Lois” on the lunch lady’s name card in the Willow Hill cafeteria? This is the song.

“All by Myself” — Eric Carmen

This is what Capri sings as she drives to Willow Hall at night.

“Zombie” — The Cranberries (piano cover)

This is where I went “but of course” for a second time. Because, you know, there was a zombie wandering around the hallways, and the song goes “zombie”. No, seriously, no matter how overused this song feels, it was perfect here — especially with this piano version.

“Scene D’Amour” — Bernard Herrmann

If there’s a perfect piece of music for a romantic scene against the backdrop of an asylum set free, it’s this one.
