I was so rocked and saddened by the sudden and tragic passing of my childhood hero David Cassidy, it inspired to write a song about what he meant to me and so many others.

lyrics
“I Wanna Be David Cassidy”
verse 1: i joined your fan club for $1.49
i played your records and sang along with every line
on the cover of a Tiger Beat you’ll have ‘em dancing in the street
chorus: i wanna be David Cassidy
and be your number one crush
i wanna be David Cassidy and ride on that Partridge Family bus
verse 2: saw you in concert, in your crushed red velvet suit
i bought three t-shirts, one in red and two in blue
on the cover of a Tiger Beat, you’re the face i always see
bridge: everybody’s gonna notice me
with my feathered back hair, watch the girls get excited
if I act a little bit like him
chorus: i wanna be David Cassidy and be your number one crush
i wanna be David Cassidy and ride on that Partridge Family bus
i wanna be David Cassidy, watch all the girls make a fuss
i wanna be David Cassidy and ride on that Partridge Family bus
outro: hello world here's a song that we're singin'
