Welcome to Drew Carey Week here at I Love TV Themes Dot Tumblr Dot Com! This week we’ll be discussing the various theme songs used by The Drew Carey Show over its run, and maybe even learn a little bit about ourselves in the process.

This first theme, used in the show’s first season (before smash sensation talk show host Craig Ferguson even joined the cast!) was Drew Carey singing “Moon Over Parma.” There’s a long version on the show’s soundtrack that I could SWEAR I saw on the show sometimes, but cannot find on youtube. So whatever. What I really like about this is that Drew Carey is not a particularly strong singer. A show about occasional moments of excitement and fancy in a mundane office life deserves a fun love song sung by a regular-sounding guy. And the song is about Cleveland, a fairly unspectacular place. See also.
