Biography David Cassidy

Skrewy St. Louis Blues

David wrote the bluesy theme song to the John Larroquette Show "Skrewy St. Louis Blues" and in 1994 won The Television Music Archives Award for Best Television Theme.

The series' theme song, "The Skrewy St. Louis Blues", is a bluesy tune performed by David Cassidy on acoustic guitar with a scat vocal. A version of the performance lasting approximately one minute was used in the opening and closing sequences of the show during its first season. A much shorter edit of the song (lasting less than ten seconds) was heard only during the opening logo during the later seasons. An upbeat, jazzy instrumental tune was occasionally used for the closing theme in seasons three and four.

Steve Cochran, a former radio host on WGN Radio in Chicago, used David's song as the theme music for his own radio program.
