 The show originally used the popular jazz tune Mississippi Mud as their theme song, but, when LeSueur left the show in 1976, John and Lovoi quickly adjusted and recorded two popular albums of original songs.The Hotel Balderdash theme song that is fondly remembered was on the first album - which is why there is no mention of Raymond in the song.The show's popularity continued to soar with Harvey and Cannonball, even having a "Hotel Balderdash Day" declared in Utah.
