Lyrics:
Up every mornin just to keep a job
I gotta fight my way through the hustling mob
Sounds of the city poundin in my brain
While another day goes down the drain
But its a five oclock world when the whistle blows
No one owns a piece of my time
And theres a five oclock me inside my clothes
Thinkin that the world looks fine, yeah
Tradin my time for the pay I get
Livin on money that I aint made yet
Ive been goin tryin to make my way
While I live for the end of the day
Cuz its a five oclock world when the whistle blows
No one owns a piece of my time, and
Theres a long-haired girl who waits, I know
To ease my troubled mind, yeah
oh my lady, yeah
oh my lady, yeah
In the shelter of her arms everythings OK
When she talks then the world goes slippin away
And I know the reason I can still go on
When every other reason is gone,
In my five oclock world she waits for me
Nothing else matters at all
Cuz every time my baby smiles at me
I know thats its all worthwhile,
yeah oh my lady,
yeah oh my lady, yeah, fade........

This is easily one of the best show openings ever.
I agree, especially @ 2:07 when they all raise their hands in time to the word " heh," love it.
Absolutely
Oh hell, yes.
It's the best show opening ever!
Only thing that can top this is the "Cleveland Rocks" opening.
No one had as much fun making a sitcom as Drew Carey did.
id argue maybe the makers of police squad
I love that Drew Carey always worked big musical numbers into the show. This was truly a special sitcom
I haven't seen any other sitcom that as frequently did live shows (let alone performing each one THREE times), musical numbers, and April Fool's Day episodes like this show did
Undoubtedly, The Drew Carey Show was criminally underrated
One of the best openings ever...
I never watched the show...knew nothing about it; but I just did a search for this song, and up popped this video, which is hilarious. Who did the choreography for it ?
The best opening to a show ever.
But no their first.
This was the opening to season 2.
@@Laceykat66 I thought it was 3. Wasn't season 2 the "Cleveland Rocks" one?
@@sailbatten2056 No, this was season two. I remember it because it was premier night for the new season and all the press was on Molly Ringwald's "Townies." THEY opened with toilet humor and went downhill from there. Drew opened with THIS showing far more respect for his audience. Cleveland Rocks (also a good opening) came later.
@@Laceykat66 Yeah, you're right. Cleveland was season 3.
It makes Cleveland look like a really fun place!
The most relatable line in music history: "Tradin' my time for the pay I get; livin' on the money that I ain't made yet."
You got that right.
Absolutely! ❤❤❤
Amen brother
How much fun is this opening? The choreography, the song choice, the sixties throwback references. You could tell everyone was loving life during this number.
Almost 60 years later this song is still relevant.
600 years from now I'm pretty sure it will still be relevant.
@@tonyktown don't say these awful things. life gets better in the future, haven't you seen star trek?
@@zhou_seiyes...it keeps getting worse.
@@zhou_sei the one where insufferable space socialists wear robes and eat processed fake food from a machine and share a hive mentality while seeking excitement in a matrix simulation of real life? or the one where insufferable space socialists wallow in the inevitable dystopian society they've accidentally created?
It’s a beautiful and very honest song!!! You can also dance to it as well!!!
I love watching Drew dance--that little grin on his face just makes my day!!
I like his pouting when Mimi dumped all that paperwork in his lap, I can hear her calling him Pig 🤣
What about Christa Miller ❤? She's a total hottie 😍!
How were the past 15 years? We want details.
The ‘60s girls descending in the cages was a brilliant touch.
@@blahblah5603Never looked that closely but you’re right. Still, a brilliant touch.
Thank you for knowing that’s the 60s. I couldn’t stand when I’d go to a 60s themed party or event and 95% of people who be lazily dressed as hippies. Woodstock, the ultimate epitome of hippie culture, wasn’t until mid August 1969. I will say the popularity of another great show, Madmen, has educated more people on what the clothing of the 1960s actually looked like.
@@paktype I could maybe see Kate slipping by you but Mimi!? She is one of the loudest most noticeable characters of the 90s.
That was a great sitcom in general, but the openings made it pretty unique. You'll never see effort like this put into an show opening again, and it sure pays off. Feels great to watch even a generation later.
Only one sort of still doing this is or was the Simpsons before Disney bought the Show off Fox and kind of stopped the show after the 32 or 33 season.
it’s expensive to do, they’re not done for good reason…i can only think of shows changing the intros for special events
@@bostonrailfan2427 I think for shows now Doing the pre intro to the actual show would be one way to do this. Not enough Streaming shows do this anymore.
Thank you Drew Carey for bringing sunshine to so many people’s lives.
One of the best choreographed videos to music , I've ever seen, man that feels good...
New appreciation for blue and purple dresses!
Just fun.
I bet the rehearsal schedule and the amount of takes was murder. 😳😴
You liked it? Me too. You should see Keeping The Faith by
Poor Drew. He must have had a hard time doing that dance number. He probably asked the choreographer for another take... and another...
I think Drew Carey’s talent is underrated. He cracks me up so effortlessly.
Brilliantly choreographed. One of the best uses of a song I've ever seen.
Yay appreciated dancers!!!
Who among The Vogues would've thought their song would be used almost 30 years after it was released as an opening for a sitcom? Only Drew Carey could pull that off.
Who did the choreography for this ?
Whoever thought of the idea for that and choreographed it did a brilliant job.
I was in my 20's and life was a party. Damn I miss the 80's and 90's.
Everything was just a lot simpler and that was alright.
I was in my 20's in the 2010s. And it was shit. I guess it's not just nostalgia.
All the furniture came from grandma or the neighbors trash. If you had a party and everything was trashed you'd be out $25
@@laurahall3094 TRUTH. 100%!
The Drew Carey show and northern exposure were two of the best Juke boxes in television.
Man I missed the 90's where everything was light hearted & fun.
Oh my God you make me feel old. I feel the same way about the 1960s.
The 90's? far more better times before the 90's.
Patrick Morton like the 1760's, man what a time to be alive
+Mav3082 I like the BC years best
Wish I was born sometime in the 50s-90s
What no one's mentioning is that this over 2 minute opening of Five O'Clock World WAS THE REAL OPENING of Drew's show at this point. Absolutely unbelievable and unheard of today. The 90's are soooo drastically different in every way now; my God!
Commercial breaks were also half as long
it was the first use of it, they cut it back afterwards but kept it for the rest of the season
Marvelous Ms. Maisel does some kind of similar things in some episodes
Drew had the best openings of any show.
Even as a retiree and pushing on 68, this intro to 'The Drew Carey Show' still brings back my days of the end of my work day at 5 o'clock. Especially on Friday's and "Happy Hour" with my buddies from the Machine Shop. Did we ever get blasted!
Sounds like fun. I'm a "millennial" per se and no one I work with anymore even speaks to other people. It's depressing.
Hello being a BABY BOOMER myself and 71 nothing like good clips to remind us work back in the 60's and music was worth those hours I love music and dancing Portland, or
As a teenager every season I looked forward to a new opening 😂 this the best one to me
Ah the days when you could have a 2 minute opening sequence for a sitcom.
***** This alone makes The Drew Carey Show a noteworthy sitcom. No shows have any real kind of opening at all anymore, let alone anything extravagant like this. The only sitcom of the 2010's I really like is 'The Middle' but has no real 'opening'.
The CSI's use the same song by 'The Who' and the unwatchably bad 2010-? Hawaii 5-0 uses a very cutdown version of the original. Still nothing original like in the '80s like 'MacGyver', 'The Fall Guy' and 'TJ Hooker'. We live in a time of near nothingness now, so what we don't have anymore goes along with it.
+Bob Pierce Back in the 80s and early 90s, there were people who specialized in putting together opening title sequences like that. I remember hearing that the producers of "Coach" paid quite a sum just for that minute of opening montage.
I think they might have used this full sequence once? The season two opening was cut down to only about thirty seconds for most episodes.
@@onnapnewo I vaguely recall seeing a version where they showed a viewer homemade video replicating the woman in a cage part. I haven't seen that in at least 20 years, but I do remember seeing it during the intro to an episode.
And you could grope the hot women who just danced in the office.
Most sitcoms are crap but this is one that I couldn't get enough of, Drew Carey is a natural.
One of the reasons I like Drew Carey is because he always seems to having fun in everything he does, whether it's The Price Is Right or shows like this.
Brilliant! I remember seeing this intro when it first aired and it blew me away... and it still does.
Same here. They just did it because... they wanted to. Entertainers with an idea to entertain people. You don't often see spontaneity like that on the TVs. It's pretty interesting to see that all these later so many people are still uplifted by this. So...good job Drew Carey Show people.
Remember watching this when I was kid. Always brightened up my nights. Didn’t have DVR at the time so I would race to the TV to catch the intro hoping that the network didn’t shorten it. My late dad has a huge Vogues record collection.
Man i miss this more than Friends. Drew Carey show was amazing
+ibomidablehonky Agreed.
+ibomidablehonky Get them to bring it back.
+Harry Mann Jr Yep. I've got one on right now. What I love about it is how, now and then, they will cut to Drew losing it at some funny line--stuff that other shows would have made into outtakes. Everybody's clearly having a great time.
+ibomidablehonky I know, I just realized how much I miss this show when I heard the song. It was a fun show.
me to
if only going to work was this much fun
I know. Work is work. Love hang with these people for five minutes in their day, though. Fun.
Yes
It had its positives.
Rowdyroughman If you freaking let it
Yeah coz they walk out at the end
Just saw The Vogues play this live last night. Their on a 60's bands tour with The Turtles, The Grass Roots, The Association, Gary Puckett and the Union Gap, and The Cowsills. Lots of hit songs. It's the Happy Together tour.
Drew is always in trouble. His drew Carey show served me well through a depression episode.
"The Tracy Bowl" stands out for me.
Still one of the best openings ever
Drew's show was unique and very enjoyable.
The reason this show was so great is because Drew Carey and the cast are so witty and funny.
We can see how they were so funny on the show "Who's Line Is It Anyway".
Can you imagine having Robin Williams and even Jonathan Winters on the show? OMG, I'm already laughing with tears.
Robin Williams & Jonathan Winters, RIP...We miss you guys to put real smiles on the world and make all of us laugh.
Robin Williams did appear on an episode of Whose Line, and was absolutely brilliant. (You probably already knew that)
This scene is utter genius
Very catchy, and it captures how you feel after you leave from the five o'clock world. And I love the dancing choreography, very beautiful.
I love how he keeps chewing gum while he's dancing😂❤️
Ya, I'd probably choke on it if I tried that 🤪
The show began in the fall of 1995. In 2001, after six seasons, it received a 3 year contract from ABC guaranteeing its run
through at least the Summer of '04. Talk about respect.
That show wasn’t the same when Christa Miller left to be in “Scrubs” and Cynthia Watros replaced her
@@tonydimeo1882 Agreed. I think the show should have ended when Mimi married Steve, but when Christa Miller left, it definitely should have ended. It wasn't the same show after that.
I was 12. Kill me.
I remember watching this in the late 90s-early 2000s. Drew ending up in china and the episode where he thinks he slept with mimi on the train were what I remember as being some of the last episodes I saw. The episode where he gets punched by multiple women for cheating was a conclusion in my memory. I wish this show was on streaming so bad.
@@Blueeyes2584A will never forget when Steve and Mimi started dating and Drew was upset that he could potentially be related to his arch-enemy Mimi--Oswald said--"Drew you shouldn't discourage their love..you should encourage it--Just think of all the funny lookng babies they could make!!" LOL!!
How have I NEVER seen this opening?! 😹😹😹 I Always thought it was just a shortened 30 second version for the theme song lol. This is so awesome. The 90s were the best. And I am blessed to have been growing up during it. I probably don’t remember the opening because it was on past my bedtime lol.
The 90's had the best sitcoms.
Excellent opening Drew Carey show best opening in my open five o clock world
Drew Carey got it right using "Five O'Clock World," one of the great hits of all time.
Sadly it had dire consequences for the show's longevity; Drew never saw DVD coming and extensive usage of songs like this is why the show can never be released on DVD and why it's no longer in syndication.
@@jessebaker2769what does the song have to do with that??
@@tanyawieczorek6603 music licensing. Five O'Clock World is a real world song not something the show created for itself so they have to pay royalties for it's usage on all home video releases and syndication, since Carey and ABC only licensed it for the short term not long term. It was one of SEVERAL real life songs that were licensed for the show and Carey/ABC didn't think much of the consequences of using real world music as far as it costing them money that the show's owners would ultimately refuse to pay that would effectively bar it from getting DVD release let alone reruns down the line.
@@jessebaker2769They should just edit out the intro then
You can't do that and expect the sets to sell. heavily butchered sets that purge licensed music from shows tend to sell VERY VERY poorly as far as fans not wanting their show butchered.@@Trtevoorryu
This Is My Favorite Theam Song From The Whole Series. I love The Show. But This Was Just Awesome.
Mine too, wish that it would have stayed throughout the run of the entire series instead of changing to "Cleveland Rocks"!
The girl in the purple dress just thrills me to no end.....
Flxdcat Bruce ABSOLUTELY! She mesmerized me the first time I watched her. 😍
No joke, man!! I wanna know what else she's been in.
She is a heart stopper! Waited for her every time, Lisa is pretty hot too!
Don't overlook the one in the powder blue.
Hottest one in the video, in my opinion.
The best opening song for the Drew Carey Show, Period.
Well i watch this 3 times a day, and i never get tired of it.
+Babyhowdy233 Then you and i responsible for at least half of the 500k views lol.
I love this! Makes the day better
Best quitting time song ever. Tho Takin Care of Business is second, the lyrics in 5 o'clock world connect with more people. Very underrated song and band
Ferdinand Francis you watch this as another day goes down the drain
Scotty Deerwood The song and the band underrated? I remember when it came out and it was at the top for a long time. And the Vogues are still performing! How can they be underrated?
LOL at the frown on his face at 1.04, after Mimi drops the stack of files in his lap.
The part where he and Mimi are cracking heads and choking each other is hilarious!
Mar Thivierge Lmmgao the little sad kid look lmao it's gets me everytime lol
Watching this intro makes me feel sad because it reminds me of the first five years of the Drew Carey Show, and how much I miss those days. It and "Home Improvement" were my favorite ABC comedy shows of the mid/late 90's; they made excellent use of "subtle humor". For a while, DCS was the nearest thing to Seinfeld-style comedy that regular TV had to offer after Seinfeld went off the air in '98 (which is not to say DCS didn't have it's own merits; just that's the style of comedy I love). Hard to believe the show is almost 20 years old! Where have the years gone?
Sheesh, I sound like an old timer and I'm not even 31 yet! Anyway, I hope SOMETIME before I die, this show becomes available in its entirety on Netflix or Blu Ray. I want to "relive" my early teen years through this great show.
You sound like a cool dude. Enjoy your next twenty years. They go by fast, brother.
90 best time to be a kid .TGIF ,gigipets , Monday night wars, friends,third rock, Raymond, King of Queens, drew Carey, Seinfeld, just shoot me Simpsons and Gameboy
In it's later seasons the Drew Carey Show though abandoned subtlety and went for farce and just bizarre plot lines. Drew dying and his soul meeting his soul of his future nephew on his way to heaven was one of them.
@@bigjohn08865 they did have a season where drew Carey and his buddies head to drugco and find some bizarre things
It always seemed they enjoyed making that show. Good feelings. Their 60s homage was spot on.
Oh the Vogues! ❤🐈
When I'm feeling down, this picks me right up again. Thanks Drew and company 😊
So true Chris. I have been playing this song twice a day. Best Intro IMO.
That's what made The Drew Carey Show so great. Numbers like this (which actually was the opening to Season 2). I always enjoyed when they did the "event" episodes as well (what's wrong with this episode, live improv episodes etc.) during the 2nd to 7th Seasons and the other musical number openings they did. No one has done stuff like this on a comedy since.
Released by The Vogues (from Turtle Creek, a suburb of Pittsburgh) in '66.
I have way more respect for Drew Carey now. That's cool as shit man.
one of the best openings for a TV show in the last 5 decades. be sure to check their Priscilla vs Rocky bit also.
I saved the New York and Queens episode on my dvr just for that scene!!!!!
Yes he is
I agree, Jose Bojangles. Thank God its saved for posterity here on You Tube!
Ethan Counts You mean you have MUCH more respect but not enough to call things you like other than a four letter word? 🤨
Exciting to be a Clevelander when one of our own hit it big and who was so proud of his C-Town heritage. A great time to live on the North Coast. And a great show to boot. I remember seeing him with a pretty girl on his arm on West 9th at the height of his fame, circa 1997.
This song popped up in my head for absolutely no reason. Been humming it for 3 days now. Total pick me upper 🤣🤣🙂🙂
I think this had to be the best opening number for Any sitcom!
Big time circa 1974-75. Played at the dance clubs.
Drew Carey is the epitome of good clean fun and was just wholesome. This show, The Nanny, 3rd Rock. Good times
Just watched this again for the thousandth time - still gives me chills, its so brilliant.
Used to hear this song all the time on the oldies station my dad always had the car radio tuned to. And y'know what? I loved it then, and I still love it now ^_^
Incredible lyrics! The last stanza really caps it:"And my 5 o clock world she waits for me, nothing else matters at all... Cause every time my baby smiles at me I know that its all worth while yeah..." The Vogues really did it on this one!
Great song by the vogues
I just came on here to ask who the band was, thanks for answering that!
The song came out when I was a kid and it really romanticized daily life and relationships back in the early 60s. And once I married the girl of my dreams it pretty much felt that way for me too. The Vogues articulated it better than anyone could have. Just kept thinking, where would we be without our women?
I worked set lighting at WB and my bud ran the lighting board. He introduced me to Mimi,Kathy and being from Wisconsin, she gave me 15 minutes. I never talk to talent, but this show was different.
Even outside the stage Ryan and Oswald would walk up like we were buds.
I miss that show. Then there was Joe Cocker, Peter Frampton......
Maybe it's just me, but I got that impression these guys had a blast doing this show.
Extended intros were such a cool thing when I was a kid. Also songs that ended with the chorus just repeating over and over slowly fading out.
Man I really miss this show! What a great show.
1:54
That move was impressive, especially for a man in Drew's shape at the time.
EX Marine
Drew was surprisingly agile for a big fella
@@RatelHBadger Can you imagine anyone twisting while going down the stairs in that video? I thought that was amazing in itself!
Youth.
@@douglashomrighausen9010 Once a Marine always a Marine.
In the last season, it became the first show to have three theme songs in rotation. One week, it was Moon Over Parma, next week was Five O'clock World, and the next week was Cleveland Rocks.
Drews little side step dance move is genius. Christa Miller was gorgeous.
Man if this doesn't throw you into a good mood I don't know what will 😃
This was the most Demented, insane, funny, yet just great thing I had ever seen on a comedy show way back when. I remember running around my workplace all day the next day, asking "Did you see what they did on DREW CAREY last night?" Everyone watched that show all the time, and they all were completely blown away by it! What a memory, and it sorta became a video!
This totally brought a huge smile to my face this morning.....I forgot how great the Drew Carey show was.....
Same here 5 years later. I remembering how much I loved this show and how much it stood out back then.
Took me a good amount of time later to realize Christa Miller was in this
Wish I could wake up like this every morning!
Always thought that this Opening intro to the show was the best they did. Love the whole dance routine which was perfect for the song, especially the ending. Katy Selverstone (Lisa) was Hot that First Season.
Nope Moon Over Parma
I think they should have stayed with it and added the Cleveland rocks theme at the end.
Best thing Drew ever did. 17 years ago. Never watched the show.
From Cleveland and was only like 9 or so when the show started (my mom bought the soundtrack whenever that came out 😂) but looking back at this now…it really had no business having such a sophisticated and high quality intro. Like, not just the choreography but there is **ballet**!
Post date 2006.
This a CERTIFIED RUclips Classic
Drew is so fun and I love the song anyways and to put him with the song with the cast and crew is just amazing I was totally blown away by it
I've had this song as an earworm for the past few days --and finally remembered what it was!
I remember seeing Drew's first stand-up appearance on The Tonight Show. He was brilliantly funny, and I watched his show every week.
Where I worked at the time we had a rather large receptionist who dressed as Mimi for Halloween and won 1st prize.
He had Carson doubled over with laughter. It was something to see.
THIS IS SO DOPE! I remember watching this as a kid! I remember thinking how creative they were.
One of the few bright spots in television in the 90s.
NO TV show ever had a cast that had so much fun making the best intro.
Drew Carey, had the best flash mob dancers, 💯. BTW I love the part where Drew and Mimi are choking each other out like Homer and Bart
Drew Carey, one of our favorite sons here in Cleveland, Ohio...
Drew had some nice moves! The whole cast did great, but the one who played Drew’s girlfriend must be a trained dancer. She was smokin’!
I have loved Drew Carey ever since the first time he was on Johnny Carson and the audience laughed their asses of. Johnny invited him to sit on the couch which he never did with a first time comedienne. He told Drew he was funny as hell and he was. He was great on this show, on Whose Line is it Anyway and, of course, The Price is Right.
Thank You Drew Carey From Your Friend at The Akron-Canton Comedy Club‼️
Iol😮😊
Watching Drew Carey right now on Antenna TV 📺 😊
Same here.
Never got to see it regularly when it originally aired.
Been laughing my ass off every night!
Me as well.
I have loved Drew Carey ever since I saw him on Johnny Carson. Then this show, Whose Line is it Anyway and now The Price is Right. And I downloaded this song because of this episode.
It was a great show! Love Drew Carey!
Great theme song too!
I miss this show so damned much.
This is the first thing aliens should witness about our planet.
Drew carey? Yes i agree. The whole whose line cast honestly
1:03
This dance opening ah the best! And the Italian or Latina gal in dance scene. Yes!!
Back when we were all on one page, getting the check, and heading home for the weekend, and work was still a challenge. Sends me back.
Drew Cary's voice is a unique thing, its so naturally pleasant and he doesn't even try to make it pleasant. He is an amazing person, He always maintains a calm, nice guy yet who is very witty, a great sport and was in the military as well. An amazing personality indeed.
Yes, a reserve Marine in San Diego. He says they saved his life.
When the cast and crew of Drew's show have been interviewed in the years since the show ended the same thing has always been said..that Mr. Carey was an incredibly nice guy, who had no ego whatsoever, was open and receptive to any ideas/changes that the cast might suggest and very humble about his success
Because I am an "oldies but goodies" buff, this is my #1 favorite opening of the "Drew Carey" show! Makes you feel like you're at the "Whiskey A Go-Go"!
I'm partial to "Cleveland Rocks" but this is a close 2nd.
Man, oh man. There's quite the contingent of actress crushes courtesy of the Drew Carey Show!
Katy Selverstone? Lord yes! Kate Walsh, Cynthia Watros, Christa Miller? Yup. Insane hot girl dancer? Made sure my VHS was set to record starting one minute early just because I didn't want to miss it!
I grew up in Cleveland with this show, and this song. I work and live in Cleveland. Kinda sad that I'm still living off the money that I ain't made yet in 2022. Kinda reassuring this song and video exists.
Best show ever. Should never have cancelled!
It went on for ten years. Not a bad run
This whole production had to be Drew"s idea. I can't add any more to what others have said. One person said he could listen to it 3 times a day. Me too and more some days.
I always remember the episode where Drew won the "Batmobile" in some contest and Mimi demanded he give her a ride in it---Drew's neighbor didn't believe it was the Batmobile and Drew said: "Sure it is" and pointing to Mimi in the passenger seat said: "Look..I caught the Joker" LOL!!!
Just watch it for the 3rd time today 2/20/22😊
Drew is and always will be brilliant.
