Jenna Ortega told "The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon" that she was in charge of the moves for her big dance solo, which includes references to Lisa Loring, who played Wednesday Addams in the 1960s TV series. While she focused on the dancing, music supervisors Jen Malone and Nicole Weisberg were in charge of the music.
"We pitched The Cramps' 'Human Fly' to the team, too, then spring-boarded onto 'Goo Goo Muck,'" Malone told Variety. "The Cramps are perfect for Wednesday. They're in her headspace ... the track had to be fun, quirky, and lend itself to Wednesday's personality." Ortega was also excited about this choice.
"The Cramps is one of my favorite bands ever, so I was super excited, super pumped," Ortega said on "Jimmy Fallon." While the cast and crew were behind the song, fans have since been putting their own spin on the big dance scene by going with a different track on social media.
Lady Gaga's "Bloody Mary" has become the song of choice for those recreating Wednesday's dance on TikTok. Netflix's Twitter account, @wednesdayaddams, tweeted approval of the song change, citing their appreciation for Lady Gaga and her little monsters.
"Slay Wednesday!" @ladygaga replied. "You're welcome at the Haus of Gaga anytime."
