Wednesdayseason 2’s new trailer is accompanied by an interesting song choice.Wednesdayfollows one of the most popular members ofThe Addams Family, Wednesday Addams (Jenna Ortega), as she attends to an unusual boarding school. While “normal” people inThe Addams Familyworld find Wednesday overly spooky,Nevermore Academy is home to different outcast species, including werewolves and sirens, so she is not the weirdest student there.Wednesdayexpands onThe Addams Familylore, while giving us a great soundtrack.
Thesongs used inWednesdayalways seem to be a fitting choice for the series, and season 1 has already given us one iconic moment. The first season showed Wednesday reluctantly attending an event at Nevermore Academy, where she finally has a good time, dancing to the song “Goo Goo Muck” by The Cramps.Wednesday’s iconic dance choreographywas instantly meme-worthy, and the song was an excellent choice for the scene. Now that the trailer forWednesdayseason 2 is here,the song choice is not only fitting for the show, but it may give some hints about the upcoming plot.
“My Favorite Things” Plays During Wednesday Season 2’s Trailer
The Song Is A Very Fitting Choice For The Wednesday Trailer
A new and haunting cover of the song “My Favorite Things” playsduring thetrailer forWednesdayseason 2, and it may be familiar to fans of musicals. “My Favorite Things” is a song from the popular musicalThe Sound of Music, starring Julie Andrews. It plays throughout most of the trailer, which begins with Wednesday going through airport security and depositing a large variety of weapons in the box for scanning, before being told off for forgetting to take her sun cream out. The trailer continues, with hints at several supernatural events to come.
Wednesdayoften uses traditionally happy songs as a contrast to Wednesday’s generally gloomy nature. Season 1 used Bobby McFerrin’s “Don’t Worry, Be Happy” and “Don’t Stop,” by Fleetwood Mac during scenes in which Wednesday is more awkward. InThe Sound of Music, “My Favorite Things” is sung to comfort the children, who are afraid of a storm, whiletheWednesdaytrailer reminds viewers that Wednesday’s favorite things are considerably different from most people’s. The choice to use a spooky cover of a traditionally happy song is a very fitting choice forWednesday, but it may also have another meaning.
The Real Meaning Of “My Favorite Things” In Wednesday Season 2’s Trailer
The Lyrics In Wednesday’s Trailer Song Could Also Be A Literal Hint At What’s To Come
Theplot ofWednesdayseason 2has been kept quiet, butit has been hinted that the story will include more supernatural elements. The enormous range of weaponry that Wednesday has might be typical of her character, but it could also hint that she is going to face enemies who are vulnerable to different things. The song also plays over Wednesday reuniting with Enid, and spending time with her family.
The lyrics “I simply remember my favorite things, and then I don’t feel so bad” could hint that Wednesday will need to work with the people she cares about. The lyrics in “My Favorite Things” could also be taken literally, as certain words from the song match footage from theWednesdayseason 2 trailer. Thing appears onscreen to “my favorite things,” and for the line “when the bee stings,” bees appear onscreen.
One of the lyrics that could be taken literally is “when the dog bites.” Wednesday’s best friend and roommate is a werewolf, and Jenna Ortega has confirmed thatEnid will be different inWednesdayseason 2. Whether the song is literal, or a commentary onWednesday, it was an intriguing choice for season 2’s trailer.
