At the time, it was somewhat smaller than today and it was called the Filmový symfonický orchestr (FISYO) (The Film Symphony Orchestra) or was sometimes known as the Film Symphony of Prague. Many wonderful international films were done by this orchestra in the early days. Recordings have been made for film production companies such as Paramount, Sony, Lucasfilm and many others in the Smecky Music Studios. David Lynch returned again in 1997 to record his Lost Highway, and yet again in 2001 to record Mulholland Drive.
Fully privatized after the Velvet Revolution, today, the musicians and supporting professionals continue to play and record music together (usually every day of the week) for major international films, television series, CDs/DVDs, video games, and even ring tones - both for the Czech Republic market and for clients & media productions around the world.
The Addams Family
The City of Prague Philharmonic Orchestra Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Mysterious and spooky,
They're all together ooky,
The Addams Family
Their house is a museum,
When people come to see 'em
They really are a screa-um
The Addams Family.
So get a witch's shawl on,
A broomstick you can crawl on.
We're going to make a call on
The Addams Family.
They're creepy and they're kooky,
Mysterious and spooky,
They're all together ooky,
The Addams Family
Their house is a museum,
When people come to see 'em
They really are a screa-um
The Addams Family.
(Neat, sweet, petit)
So get a witch's shawl on,
A broomstick you can crawl on.
We're going to make a call on
The Addams Family.
The lyrics to The City of Prague Philharmonic Orchestra's song, The Addams Family, beautifully capture the darkly humorous and hauntingly captivating essence of the eponymous fictional family. The opening lines describe them as "creepy" and "kooky," setting the tone for the rest of the song. They are portrayed as being mysterious and spooky, with an alluring aura that draws people to them. They are "all together ooky" - strange and unconventional, never conforming to societal norms.
The second verse describes their house as a museum, which evokes the sense that they are collectors of oddities and curiosities. People who come to see them are in for a scare, and the family revels in it. Even their appearance is unique - they are "neat, sweet, petit," but still distinct and otherworldly. The final lines of the song implore the listener to join in and visit the Addams Family, calling for a "witch's shawl" and a "broomstick" to be ready for the adventure ahead.
Overall, the song perfectly captures the allure and appeal of the Addams Family - a family that is both fascinating and unnerving, darkly enchanting and conventionally odd.
