The Addams Family Values: Music from the Motion Picture album was released on Atlas Records in late 1993 to promote Addams Family Values, a sequel to the 1991 film The Addams Family,. The album features several hip-hop and R&B based covers of 1970s funk/soul songs by artists such as H-Town (who cover The Isley Brothers' "It's Your Thing", Shabba Ranks, Patra, and Terri & Monica (who cover Sly & the Family Stone's "Family Affair", and R. Kelly and Mad Cobra (who cover Isaac Hayes' "Do Your Thing").
A remixed version of Tag Team's then-current hit "Whoomp! (There It Is)", "Addams Family (Whoomp!)", was used as the lead single. Paramount Pictures had originally enlisted Michael Jackson to record a theme song for the film, but his recording was not accepted. Jackson's song, "Is Is Scary", was later included on his 1997 album Blood on the Dance Floor (HIStory in the Mix).
