Gonna stay right here in St. Louis, Mi-zer-y'

(.. liar ... two faced ...)

The night Perron and Ehrhardt played the song at The Wolf, they were joined on stage by KMOV producer Emily Beck. Her father is John Beck, the head of Emmis Communications in St. Louis.

"John said if I could get it recorded, he'd see if he could get it some airplay," said Perron, who last week enlisted the help of producer/engineer friend Seth Brand to lay down the track.

Perron said it seemed especially appropriate to use the theme music from the popular 1960s sitcom, "which was the story of folks from the Ozarks moving to California."
