The "Main" Drew Carey Show theme: "Cleveland Rocks" Performed by The Presidents of the United States of America. It was used for most of the seasons within the show's lifespan.
A read an article where they were interviewing all the cast members of the show---and they all had nothing but great things to say about Mr. Carey--the constant theme was that he had no ego whatsoever, was very receptive to any ideas they had about ideas/line changes they wanted to do and was also gracious and generous to the cast, crew and even audience members who came for tapings---Mr. Carey came from very humble beginnings (he even still owns his parents home in Cleveland)-and is incredibly grateful for his success
I’ve heard the same. I live in Youngstown which is about an hour away from Cleveland. I have many friends who have run into him. They all say he’s just a really nice guy. One guy I worked with was at a bar in Kent and Drew came in for a beer and bought everyone at the place a drink. The bar was on campus and packed. He said there must’ve been 80 to 100 people there.
Its funny that I rewatch this video and see in this comment someone replying to “Barney Boyle”. That was my account before TH-cam banned me for questioning left wing propaganda. Then I had a I make a new fake name to keep using the site. We can’t have nice things when the corporate “progressives” are in charge
@tubesurfer777-el8vl I watched this show all the time when it was on TBS growing up; some of the adult stuff flew over my head, but I loved it all the same.
Oh I didn't understand a damn thing when this show was on. All I knew was Cleveland Rocks! But seeing the cast in my 30s now, oh yeah this show had to be a banger.
I remember an episode where Drew won a contest and won the use of the Batmobile. Mimi demanded he give her a ride in it. As they were driving one of Drew's neighbors said he didn't believe it was the Batmobile and Drew (with Mimi in the passenger seat) said: "Sure it's the Batmobile...Look I caught the Joker!!" LOL!!
Man I remember watching this show as a kid but I didn't understand a lot of the jokes, I definitely need to re-watch this show lol I do remember loving the intro so much, The Presidents of the United States of America were a great band and provided one of the best intro songs to any sitcom
I remember being a little girl and this would come on never really understood why they all ran out of the building happy and excited (leaving work) . Obviously now I get it 😂 the tune was always so catchy. Going to try and watch this now as an adult :)
Me and my boyfriend were in the u-haul moving from North Carolina to Indiana and we got to Ohio and I had to play this theme song and my boyfriend just started bursting out laughing
I’m a 15 year old teenager, my parents showing me these shows like that 70s show, home improvement, and the drew carey show....yea My life is going the right direction
I grew up on this show (one of my personal favorites). I would always run out of the classrooms when it's either P.E. or recess and sing this as I ran.
"Livin' in sin with a Safety pin, knowin' Cleveland Rocks, Cleveland Rocks,"! Used to substitute my girlfriend's name for "Cleveland"! Tried it recently, (I am 6 months short of SIXTY) and the pub owner assured me I should be able to walk and chew solid food again by then! How was I supposed to know that his wife and my current girlfriend have the same name!!!!
As a kid I loved this - and Whose Line is it Anyway. Occasionally the actress who played Mimi would show up on Whose Line, which I enjoyed because she was my favorite Drew Carey Show character at the time.
I just moved to Cleveland and this song has been stuck in my head all week. One thing you notice once you actually get here is that they used real Cleveland locations for the intro like The Arcade mall and Progressive stadium.
growing up in Hawaii my whole life i didn't understand this song/show theme song. I always liked it but never got why are they SO extra about Cle. watching Believeland...... now this song makes 100% sense. and yes CLEVELAND ROCKS!
oh my god i found it. my old school was called cleveland and we would always sing this song at assemblies and at the end we shouted ELEMENTARY! we genuinely thought they wrote a song about us.
Memories of UPN 68 WABM Birmingham, Alabama Weeknights at 9 after watching WWF SmackDown I when was studying for my Spelling Test in Elementary School and Vocab test in Middle School.
This show truly is a product of a bygone age if people used to write songs about how great living in Ohio was. Nowadays you only ever hear about how awful it is.
Ian Hunter, a Brit, wrote this song in the 70s ! He's done a lot of great songs, like "Bastard" Wild East" and he sang All The Young Dudes with Mott The Hoople
When a song makes a DUDE actually get up and dance along. Yes, 100% guilty, _every single time it came on._ Crazy - but true. That's a really, really powerful song, and video sequence, for me to have that reaction. I never do that. (Exception: the song September :) )
I'm not from Ohio.. I'm not even from the US. But I remember this song from way back when I was younger. "Ohio" at the end was the one thing that stuck with me for years. I didn't even know the name of this song but just that it said Ohio at the end.
They do when they win. In other words, you normally heard it from April to September/maybe October to Remember with the Tribe as opposed to any other time.
I might be a Pittsburgh Penguins fan, but I'm damn sure a Clevelander, and if you weren't singing this in 2016 when the Tribe went to the World Series or when the Cavs broke the curse, then you aren't a Clevelander deep down.
Does anyone know Cleveland Rocks was written and performed by Ian Hunter of Mott The Hoople fame and is on his solo album- You're Never Alone With a Schizoprenic
memories of UPN 9
UPN, so funny it'll make U P N your pants. (dice clay)
We had UPN 54 in New Orleans.
@Christopher Rod UPN 65 in Orlando, too
@Christopher Rod UPN 20 in Washington DC and UPN 13 in Los Angeles, as well
NotYourAverageGrandmaMinnie I Remember watching this on WDRB

david graham
I always heard he was a nice guy.
Barney Boyle I just saw the CBS morning show clip where he said that. I’ve always liked Drew.

According 2 imdb, he is known for leaving $100 tips to servers whenever he goes out
I used to run to the TV just to watch this if I heard the intro.
They really had good intros.
@tubesurfer777-el8vl I watched this show all the time when it was on TBS growing up; some of the adult stuff flew over my head, but I loved it all the same.

I have never seen that episode and that but still got me cracking up lmao
The best intro of the show!
Best opening song for a sitcom, ever
Man I remember watching this show as a kid but I didn't understand a lot of the jokes, I definitely need to re-watch this show lol
I do remember loving the intro so much, The Presidents of the United States of America were a great band and provided one of the best intro songs to any sitcom
@American π No problem and that's awesome! I still need to get around to watching it haha.
They're all good singing for the men.
I remember being a little girl and this would come on never really understood why they all ran out of the building happy and excited (leaving work) . Obviously now I get it 😂 the tune was always so catchy. Going to try and watch this now as an adult :)
Such an underrated show. Great cast too. Awesome intro. Thanks!
I was in high school and college when this show was on, and I loved it. Still love Drew and Craig Ferguson.
Me and my boyfriend were in the u-haul moving from North Carolina to Indiana and we got to Ohio and I had to play this theme song and my boyfriend just started bursting out laughing
The fact that I live in Ohio makes me so happy that this exists. Love Ryan Stiles, Drew Carey, all of em.
same
shame that it takes place in cleveland and not the superior cincinnati
I never watched the show back then, but I stuck around for the intro every time. I think im gonna start watching it now about 20 years later
Aw the 90s how i miss you
I’m a 15 year old teenager, my parents showing me these shows like that 70s show, home improvement, and the drew carey show....yea My life is going the right direction
You must watch LAFF
Same
SAME HERE lmao i’m 15 and know all these shows
Ever check out married with children or full house?
One of the highlights of my childhood 😂😁
I grew up on this show (one of my personal favorites). I would always run out of the classrooms when it's either P.E. or recess and sing this as I ran.
Literally just landed here in Cleveland for my dad's funeral and all i could keep thinking of was this theme song.
Heres to you, dad!
This was the best intro of the show.
I’m not from Cleveland at all but much respect to Drew for having so much pride and love to where he came from.
I watched this at 10 years old and am now 24. Gonna rewatch this.
Lala Land I’m 24 as well as I relate so hard to this
"Livin' in sin with a Safety pin, knowin' Cleveland Rocks, Cleveland Rocks,"! Used to substitute my girlfriend's name for "Cleveland"!

Oswald throwing that girl is hilarious.
One of the best openings for a tv show
My favorite of the beginning songs to Drew Carey Show.
When I was little I thought the song was saying cleaning rocks lol 😂
Joseph Mendoza that is the funniest thing I've ever heard
Sounds like you were too stupid to understand humour
Sounds like Leaves and Rocks
I thought it said leaves and rocks lol
I can only hear “cleaning rocks!” Now 😓😂
I just moved to Cleveland and this song has been stuck in my head all week. One thing you notice once you actually get here is that they used real Cleveland locations for the intro like The Arcade mall and Progressive stadium.
Going this Summer and this song will be in my head the whole time 😂
Back in the 80s, we used to call it, 'The Mistake On The Lake.'
Lol when I visited Philadelphia for the first time I rapped the fresh prince of bel-air intro. 😂
At the time of this show it was Jacobs Field or lovingly known as The Jake. 😊
This show needs to come back
Samantha west it’s on a channel called LAFF
hopefully hbo max starts streaming it soon
Best sitcom opening ever. I totally forgot about this from when I was a kid but it just popped on TV
Brings back so many good memories. I used to be terrified of Mimi as a kid for some reason 😂
I miss this show. It needs to be on streaming websites.
Smack down came on right after this every Thursday. Good times
This show had 2 of the best intros ever.
this show is my childhood lol, I still Love it today
Ohio hio hio hio cracks me up everytime
I legit always thought it was Drew saying that 😂 Turns out it's part of the song
That's the best part of the song 😂 real talk
@@jessicajamesspeaks true
ohio sucks
I remember this from my childhood
Mimi was my girl 😂😂😂
It's funny how in the depths of my memory from like when I was 5 years old. I remember this show.. Especially this Cleveland rock Op.😂
I miss this show so much
Tori Jordan I would LOVE a reunion.
One of the best intros ever
This is the intro I remember from childhood. Great times
🤩😆 Woooo!!! Good old 95' this Show Rocks Cleveland Rocks Cleveland Rocks 🤘🫶❤️
Cleveland rocks !
The 90s shows intros where the best
This show rocks!
This theme song did not need to go this hard for a sitcom. It slaps.
God I loved this show, it was always waiting for me when I got home from school.
I always liked The Drew Carey Show. It was always funny.
I loved watching reruns of this show
Happy 25th Anniversary The Drew Carey Show
Iv been trying to find this show and intro for a literal 9 years....
Same.. probably almost for twenty in my case.
growing up in Hawaii my whole life i didn't understand this song/show theme song. I always liked it but never got why are they SO extra about Cle.
watching Believeland...... now this song makes 100% sense.
and yes CLEVELAND ROCKS!
Childhood memories ^^ This used to be on all the time.
Best of all of this show's intro songs!
Nah...5 O'Clock world was a classic.
We got some nice rocks in Seattle, too.
Lmao I used to watch this as a kid, and I always wanted to go to Cleveland. I went as an adult. I saw both of their buildings
Cleveland Rocks! 🎸🤘
So miss the old Drew Carey 😞
00:33 is probably the most 90's-ass camera angle I've ever seen
Greatest show intro ever.
Five O’ Clock World is my favorite but i love this one too
oh my god i found it. my old school was called cleveland and we would always sing this song at assemblies and at the end we shouted ELEMENTARY! we genuinely thought they wrote a song about us.
THIS INTRO ROCKS!
Drew Carey is genuinely talented. It's understandable; the paycheck is steady on The Price Is Right... but he's SO much better than that.
Started watching this show recently. I'm on season 5. It's up there with Frasier and Cheers.
God, i really wish I was part of that scene!!
I miss this show I would always watch it after school at 5pm
Damn, this song is catchy.
I love Drew Carey and my sister lives in Cleveland
Videos with emensly powerful auras
This is the most excited I've seen a person for Ohio
My high school days. Good times
So “Rockers” made it as a finalist name to replace Cleveland Indians. Imagine this song playing at every ball game for the new Cleveland Rockers team.
I actually like that name. Hope it sticks. Too bad they had to change their name in the first place though.
Memories of UPN 68 WABM Birmingham, Alabama Weeknights at 9 after watching WWF SmackDown I when was studying for my Spelling Test in Elementary School and Vocab test in Middle School.
I liked how Drew Carey was such a big fan of The Sims, Maxis made sure to add him to the game.
this was such an awesome show!!
God damn this intro went hard
Everytime you turned on UPN, it was on or coming on. Used to be on a lot!
Cleveland is a Bad ass City!!!
This show truly is a product of a bygone age if people used to write songs about how great living in Ohio was.
Nowadays you only ever hear about how awful it is.
Ian Hunter, a Brit, wrote this song in the 70s ! He's done a lot of great songs, like "Bastard" Wild East" and he sang All The Young Dudes with Mott The Hoople
YES I LIVE IN PLOVER!
I miss this show.
GO TRIBE!!! ❤️💙
When a song makes a DUDE actually get up and dance along.
Yes, 100% guilty, _every single time it came on._ Crazy - but true.
That's a really, really powerful song, and video sequence, for me to have that reaction. I never do that. (Exception: the song September :) )
Cleveland rocks
Damn does cleveland rock this hard? I gotta go over there and get my party on lol
The Drew Carey Show Cleveland Rocks
0:24 Chief Wahoo never looked so good
One of the few cover songs that’s just as good (maybe even better) than the original.
Laff needs this show back on their schedule.
30 20 10 brought me here, what a nostalgia kick
I remember my parents watched this show all the time when I was little and I always got excited when he said Ohio because thats my home state.
Dani Marie Ohio is Drew’s home, that was the inspiration for the show (besides drew himself)
TheRaNdOmLiFe1000 Drew Carey himself is a Cleveland native
I'm not from Ohio.. I'm not even from the US. But I remember this song from way back when I was younger. "Ohio" at the end was the one thing that stuck with me for years. I didn't even know the name of this song but just that it said Ohio at the end.
Drew Carrey rocks. Funniest man alive
It'd be nice if this show was rebooted like Roseanne was. This show is much more worthy of one
Oh god no. They already ruined full house and Roseanne. As much as I miss the 90 s I would rather leave these shows the way they were.
@@strangeroamer3219 fuller house is not a reboot
This show was so awesome. Why isn’t it streaming anywhere?
It's now on PLEX
why dont they play this at browns games or any other cleveland team
Lol they do all the time
This just in....Beverly Hills, 90210. Cleveland Browns 3.
@@Hutchins24Wiccan This just in: After 18 years the Cleveland Browns are in the playoffs
They do when they win. In other words, you normally heard it from April to September/maybe October to Remember with the Tribe as opposed to any other time.
The only reason I know of this song existence is I was in band in 8th grade and this was our pep song we performed at home 8th grade basketball games
Cleveland Rocks! Cleveland Rocks! ......OHIO!!!
I might be a Pittsburgh Penguins fan, but I'm damn sure a Clevelander, and if you weren't singing this in 2016 when the Tribe went to the World Series or when the Cavs broke the curse, then you aren't a Clevelander deep down.
Does anyone know Cleveland Rocks was written and performed by Ian Hunter of Mott The Hoople fame and is on his solo album- You're Never Alone With a Schizoprenic
