Scott Simons Records Theme Song for "Paw Patrol" Spin-Off, "Mighty Pups;" Works as Music Director for "Little Big Shots"

By Julie Perine on November 25, 2018

Available on DVD and at some movie theaters across the U.S., “Mighty Pups” is a spin-off of the popular Nickelodeon series, “Paw Patrol.” As he did for the original cartoon sensation, Bridgeport’s Scott Simons lends his vocal talents to the theme song for the new flick - which features the whole gang – Ryder, Marshall, Rubble, Chase, Rocky, Zuma and Skye.
 
Though he’s done a lot of cool things in the music industry – with his own band “TeamMate,” serving as pianist and part of the “America’s Got Talent” music team and songwriter/producer at Sony/ATV Music Publishing – Simons loves being part of the Nickelodeon series that has captivated children across the country.
 
“The best part is that a lot of the people who followed me as part of ‘The Argument’ at WVU and all over the country now have kids of their own who listen to me,” said Simons, a 1994 graduate of Bridgeport High School. “I get messages all the time from everywhere that I’m still a part of people’s lives after all these years and it’s humbling and awesome.”
 
And it’s fun to think of it extending to the next generation, he said.
“These kids will grow up and someday in the future, turn to their robot friend and say, ‘Remember that show ‘Paw Patrol’ and the annoying theme song? I wonder what that dude is doing now.’”
 
Simons’ other recent projects include serving as pianist and assistant music director for “America’s Got Talent Champions.”
 
“It’s an amazing spin-off of the original,” he said. “The best from around the world and past seasons of AGT compete against each other.”
Already recorded, the show will air on NBC in January.
 
Simons also served as music director for Season 3 of NBC’s “Little Big Shots,” hosted by Steve Harvey and featuring talented kids from across the globe.
 
“It was insanely rewarding, challenging and cute,” he said.
 
It’s difficult to choose his favorite pint-sized acts, but one of the most exciting episodes he recalls is a little girl from Ireland.
“She is autistic and singing has really helped her issues,” he said. “(The show) found her online singing ‘Hallelujah’ and we organized a duet with her and Pentanox.”
 
Other recent highlights of Simons’ career include his band “TeamMate” playing the Troubadour in L.A. and a project through Instagram.
 
“We’re doing a song a week about a random Instagram follower based on their profile,” said Simons about the new “InstaJams” account.
He was also recently interviewed by National Public Radio’s Scott Simon. Hear that interview HERE.

Editor’s Note: The “Mighty Pups” was released on DVD before its premiere on Nickelodeon in the United States. It’s available at Walmart and includes instructions for a digital copy for VUDU users. For international theaters, the movie's release date was Oct. 4. See the theme song music video below.
