Update:
If you want to try to come up with a good song, here's the vlog intro all by itself, in WMV format:

I liked it! You and Hitler looked like you were having fun taking a scenic drive! How cozy!
Comments by Amanda
omfg - I'm going to have to do some research on this one. I liked the Addams Family, though.
Comments by Sheila
I'm emailing you my winning vote.
Comments by Clown
Watched it only once, so this is a first impression. I envision a John Philip Sousa march.
Comments by e.Craig
Stop saying A Vit A bull. Please. It freaks me out.
Is that the boobalicious Britt in the background?
Also. I'm not putting in a suggestion for the contest.
Comments by bluepaintred
Love your new intro! Two ideas — mine is "Take a Walk on the Wild Side" it just popped into my head while watching. The Way-Hot Husband says, "Purple Haze" by Jimi Hendrix.
Comments by Geeky Tai-Tai
Cool intro! Not too sure what type of music works better than the one you already used though.
Comments by NYCWD
I would go with something wholesome like the theme to Seasme Street or "I feel Pretty"
Comments by Mr. Fabulous
ok - this doesn't really go with the 'addams family' music, but..my first thought was 'down with the sickness' by disturbed. (did you see the recent version of 'dawn of the dead'?) there are two versions of this song, one cool hard rock version (by 'disturbed'), and another, "smooth" version , i believe it was sung by richard cheese, which would probably go better with your animation. which rocks, btw...
Comments by ygraine
Those people in the background... something about them... can't... put... my finger on it...
Comments by RW
Amanda, it's love, what can I say?
Sheila, thanks for your suggestions!
Clown, that is a good one.
e.Craig, if you have one in mp3 format, email it to me.
BPR, how would you like me to say my name, eh? And if you look closely, you'll see several bloggers in the background.
Geeky, ok, thanks for the suggestions!
NYCWD, that does flow, but if only it said "Adam's Family" instead of "The Addams Family", I'd be happier.
Mr. Fabulous, "I Feel Pretty" might be a good one. Did you see yourself in the video?
YGraine, I have that one by Richard Cheese - I'll have to try that. Thanks!
RW, you realize you're in there, too, right?
Comments by Avitable
I just updated the post with a link to just the vlog intro for anyone who wants to replay it without watching my whole video.
Comments by Avitable
How cute! You are such a sweet, nice man. Putting all the bloggers in the background. (that would be a fun contest) Naming the bloggers. I did find RW, you, Miss Britt, Mr. Fabulous. Have to slow it down to figure out the others!!
Hmm...theme song...
Comments by TrishK
I've got some songs, but I feel like they're way too obvious. Oh well - I'll try, anyway.
Comments by Sybil Law
Well, at least you made it a Maduro...
Comments by RW

My comment disappeared, I had a link in it so maybe it got put in spam.

Comments by Michael
I think the Barbie Girl song (whatever the name of it is) would be perfect. It's kind of "your song" now. Plus, it's completely irreverent ... like you
Comments by Cap
"Won't You be my Neighbor" (Mr. Rogers' theme song) would be perfect.
Comments by Melanie
Ok Adam...you saw my wonderful creation...so I through in a picture of my
can I guarantee a win??
Comments by Janelle
Dude, I made it into your intro?!!??!?! SWEEET!!!
Comments by Poppy
Wait, how come I'm next to RW?
Did I not get a memo?
(RW, I do <3 you.)
Comments by Poppy
I will have to get some advice but I liked the Adams Family one.
Comments by Robin

Comments by Tracy Lynn
I refuse to enter your contests since I am not allowed to win because of some bull shit fear you have of me appearing to have "favoritism". If I can't win, I won't play.
So, I will contribute in other ways.
a) wax your fucking eyebrows before you do another vlog. Good GAWD MAN!!!
b) the ice cream picture doesn't work in animation. Everything is moving but you're not actually licking. This intro will not be complete until you can make your tongue actually LICK the ice cream.
Unless you accomplish that, I will consider your intro, and by extension your vlogs, and by extension your blog, and by extension you - a complete and total failure.
My work here is done.
Comments by Miss Britt
Wait, Britt can't win the contest? That's fucking stupid. If she has the best entry she should win! Dur.
Comments by Poppy
@ Poppy: Thank you! That's what I said.
Comments by Miss Britt
Britt, what has happened to his judgment? It's broken, or something. When I arrive in October I'm giving him a very stern spanking for this bullshit rule of his.
Comments by Poppy
just promise not to leave marks, or I'll have to listen to him cry for weeks
Comments by Miss Britt
BWAH. It's a deal. Besides, I'm not sure my little hand could leave marks on him. It's tiiihneeee.
Comments by Poppy
I don't know - he seems to bruise easily. And he's kind of a baby about that stuff.
Comments by Miss Britt
Hmm. How about I just give him a stern lecture, then? I don't want crybabies ruining my steak dinner! :D
(If I don't get my steak dinner now I'm going to be super mad. I've been craving that damn steak dinner for ... 3 months now?)
Comments by Poppy
Adam can I campaign for my winning bid here?? ... http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2dBL7S8141Y
Comments by Janelle
ok...i thought my richard cheese idea was a sure winner..but i've been trumped by janelle - that was brilliant, janelle (prostrating myself before you)...
Comments by ygraine
Ygraine, thank you!! I thought it went well together
Comments by Janelle
I first thought something from Rammstein http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Mm2eT-sTVys
then these songs popped in to my head:
"Dizz Knee Land" by Dada http://myspacetv.com/index.cfm?fuseaction=vids.individual&videoid=9184533
"Mr Big Stuff" by Carol Knight. I was trying to find a clip of the song and I found this http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3HArC7lJ3Xg which works too.
Comments by tana
I think my suggestions got lost, and I put too much time and effort to find all the links and stuff to do it again and/or look stupid if they happen to show up later so I am agreeing that Janelle's is great.
Comments by tana
Thank You Tana!!
Comments by Janelle
Trish, there are also images of Dave from Blogography, Heather, AmyD, Poppy, and my wife.
Sybil, okay, I'll look for your suggestions!
RW, actually, it's a 1968 Camacho.
Michael, you did indeed get caught by the spam filter. It's going crazy now.
Cap, I'll give that one a try again.
Melanie, that's a good one - thanks!
Janelle, that is a good one, and I like the effort of putting them on Youtube. You're one of the serious contenders.
Poppy, of course you did!
Robin, I'll have to check that one out.
Britt, if yours is the best, you'll win. Didn't you win the last contest? And you love my unibrow, admit it. And I guess you'll just have to consider me a complete failure *sniff*. I'm going to go cry and be a girl now.
Ygraine, don't sell yourself short! Richard Cheese's version was pretty good.
Tana, I caught it in the spam folder and saved it. Thanks for the suggestions!
Comments by Avitable
Oh, wait. Is that Amy next to RW? Whoops. Am I even actually in there? I'm so confused, she and I look a lot alike in stick figure form. (But NOT in real life form. She's way taller and skinnier than I am. :)
Comments by Poppy
And now I'm sad I didn't make the intro. Bastard.
You really should use Janelle's suggestion. It's just...perfect.
Comments by Tracy Lynn
Maybe you should steal Fab's sculpey idea and use "Come On Eileen". But, you know I love it the way it is with Ad(d)am(')s Family.
Comments by Poppy
That's the one you used ((confused))
Comments by Robin
I read this in my feedreader first and immediately came up with the perfect song.
Then I went to the website and read the comments, hoping no-one thought of it first.
Then I saw the comment about Sesame Street and was very anxious, but fortunately, it didn't steal my thunder.
Ok, ready? See http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BovQyphS8kA if you need help with the rhythm, melody or context.
Now here are the lyrics.
Tact is for pussies, that's good enough for me.
Tact is for pussies, that's good enough for me.
Tact is for pussies, that's good enough for me,
oh pussy, pussy, pussy starts with me.
(repeat as necessary)
Surely someone in this crowd could record it for Mr. Adam.
Comments by Wayne
WAYNE! :-o
ZOMG.
Comments by Poppy
(Brilliant!! :)
Comments by Poppy
Poppy, of course you're in there. Just watch it again. You and Amy look totally different. I don't think you're next to RW, though.
Tracy, I meant to say to you that I'll check out your song because I hadn't heard of it. I may have to add more people later, though.
Robin, oops. I merged my response to you and Tracy. I meant to tell you that if it was "Adam's Family" instead of "The Addams Family", I'd like it more.
Wayne, that would be perfect if I were redoing the song with new lyrics. I'll have to test it with the existing lyrics to see if it fits.
Comments by Avitable
Ohhhh, I'm next to Heather!!!! YEEEEEE!!!!!!! :D :D :D
Comments by Poppy
Both in blogging and on the highway you have to be careful with merging.
Comments by Robin
You could go with:
It's a Small World
or
oompa loompa song
or
It's Raining Men
or
My Ding-a-Ling
or
Nausea, heartburn, indigestion, upset stomach, diarrhea from Pepto-Bismol.
There are lots of FANTASTIC tunes out there that would work well.
Comments by Kentucky Girl
Personally, I think you should do it to "Natural Woman".
chelle
Comments by Cheldear
Poppy, Heather's off in her own little world. Her own little Disney World, that is.
Robin, you are a wise one.
KG, interesting suggestions.
Cheldear, which song? Who is that by?
Comments by Avitable
"You make me feel like a natural woman..."
"woman..."
Comments by Cheldear
Well,crap, that link didn't work..
Aretha Franklin..
Before the day I met youuuuuu,
life was so unkind... blah blah...
YOU MAKE ME FEEL... YOU MAKE ME FEEL... YOU MAKE ME FEEL LIKE A NATURAL WOMANNN... WOMANNN.....
http://www.oracleband.net/Lyrics/natural_woman.htm
Comments by Cheldear
Oh yeah - I was thinking of "American Woman" by Lenny Kravitz, for some reason.
Comments by Avitable
Man, what happened to my second post? My computer is on crack...Ugh.
Well,crap, that link didn't work..
Aretha Franklin..

Comments by Cheldear
Dude, what the hell is wrong with you? You didn't know "Natural Woman" as soon as Chelle said it?! I'm surprised she didn't flog you.
Comments by Poppy
Give him a break... He's married, which means he is officially lobotomized...
Or, we can have a bash Avitable day... That might be more fun!
Chelle
Comments by Cheldear
I think wHall gets a break and today should be Avi's day. Actually, let's wait an hour and then bash him. :D
Comments by Poppy
Poppy, I was thinking of "American Woman" and couldn't think of the one she mentioned.
Chelle, I'm married, remember? Every day is "Bash Avitable" day.
Comments by Avitable
My 1st thought was "I'm a Barbie Girl" by Aqua, but someone else has already suggested that. My other suggestions would be "I touch myself" by the DeVinals, or "Lucky Ball and Chain" or "My Evil Twin" both by They Might Be Giants. Or "Puttin on the Ritz" by Taco.
Comments by Crazy Lady in Vegas
Ooh, good suggestions. Thanks!
Comments by Avitable
okay...this one's a bit off-the-wall...or maybe waaaay off the wall. i was sitting at my desk and suddenly thought of diana rigg in the "mrs. bradley mysteries", a show that was on pbs for awhile...(not sure if you ever caught that series, but btw she's f*cking brilliant in it)...anyway, that series had a really great song (from the 1920's) as the credits rolled - it's called "You're the Cream in my Coffee'...and somehow, it seems to match your intro..at least i think so...here's the link:
http://youtube.com/watch?v=NVvwr4n7Yhk
this is probably the strangest suggestion, but i liked it...
Comments by ygraine
(p.s.. don't be put off by the first few seconds of the intro...it's the words of the song that made me think of you...)
Comments by ygraine
Here's what I came up with, with 5 minutes and Windows Movie Maker. Seriously. :-)
The "So Damn Clever" intro: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JQ_HWVvbLUw
The "Everything sounds classier in French" intro:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FbmWcBNrSwo
What do you think?
Comments by Mike
Ygraine, well, that might just be the most unique song anyone's suggested. I kinda like it - thanks for the suggestion!
Mike, nicely done. I'll add those to my deliberation file.
Comments by Avitable
Mike, I have been checking out my competition and I think I might just have been beat (because I was a winner already in my head nevermind what Adam had to say
)...You did a great job...maybe we should have a "Intro Dance Off" like Justin & Britney after the break up, LOL...no really, you did a great job! Nicely done! BUT...I still like mine 
Let me know what you think.... http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2dBL7S8141Y
Comments by Janelle
@ Janelle: Arrrrr, you saucy wench (it's talk like a pirate day!)I really like yours, that's why I knew after watching yours that I had to work extra hard on mine. I think "Why can't we be friends" is an excellent choice. :-)
