Merlina’s dance in the series “Wednesday” became the favorite of many, because on social networks there are many videos of girls imitating it to perfection, and there are even Internet users who found hidden references to the movements of the young Addams.
But few talk about the song that accompanies this iconic choreography. This is “Goo Goo Muck” by the punk band The Cramps and it was released in 1981. Perhaps due to the lead singer’s exciting steps, many did not realize that the lyrics of the said song gave a big clue to the identity of the monster terrorizing his students Nevermore and the inhabitants of Jericho.
The dance scene in ‘Wednesday’ provided a ‘spoiler’ for the Netflix series
The fourth chapter entitled ‘A gloomy night of dancing’, which just marked the midpoint of the eight-episode series, features a detective Merlina in search of the monster that claimed the lives of many victims in Jericho.
However, the Raven’N school dance halts its investigation due to Fingers, who has sent an cryptic invitation (playing Merlina) to Tyler, one of the protagonist’s love interests, to attend with her instead of Xavier.
For those who have already seen the Netflix series, they know that Tyler, the young man who seemed shy and very much in love with Merlina, was actually the terrifying monster who sought revenge on behalf of Laurel Gates (Christina Ritchie’s character, Merlina from the 90’s movies), but this was not revealed until the final episode “The Shadow is Like a Flock of Crows”.
Of course, a clue to this twist in the story was placed right in the dance scene, since the song “Goo Goo Muck” is about a teenage beast who roams the city streets at night in order to find something to eat. .
Was Jenna Ortega planning to find out the monster’s identity with her choreography on Wednesday?
Although this was not the only hidden message in the scene, to make it even more specific, when the song announces the sentence “You better get down when the Goo Goo Muck appears” actor Hunter Doohan, who played Tyler. , and right behind him is Jenna Ortega, Merlina, looking straight at him.
Because the actress behind Merlina Addams was responsible for creating the choreography and not a professional dancer, some fans theorized online that this “spoiler” was made up by the interpreter.
And although Jenna Ortega neither confirmed nor denied this rumor, in an interview with Jimmy Fallon (on December 16, 2022) she explained that she invented her famous dance just 48 hours before filming, because between cello lessons and fencing lessons she didn’t have time to plan it in advance.
