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........
I think this had to be the best opening number for Any sitcom!
agree!
@@macbethpkyiv Me too.
Great choreography to great music!!!
They did it to get viewers to watch, and it worked for me.
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.
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.
My opinion best Drew carey opening
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.
The one with Mimi in it should've been welded shut before she could escape.
@@scottfowler1506
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
Like the Sonny and Cher (before she went bananas) song, "They say our love won't pay the rent, before it's earned our money's all been spent."
Absolutely right. If only we could luve without being trapped in an endless grind.@LesterMoore
I first heard this song on one of their albums back in the mid sixties.
I think at one point I had almost all of their albums.
Dang, did I take a lot of grief from my best friend, who was into psychedelic rock and heavy metal.
Whenever we would cruise down the drag in North Dallas, he absolutely refused to let me listen to the Vogues unless I turned down the volume and rolled up my window.
He was afraid that kind of music would cockblock him if a girl he was trying to hustle heard it and was repulsed by it.
Of course, if we were cruising together today, he would probably make me wear earphones so he didn’t have to listen either.
No one had as much fun making a sitcom as Drew Carey did.
id argue maybe the makers of police squad
The Drew Carey show and northern exposure were two of the best Juke boxes in television.
Two of the BEST!
Undoubtedly, The Drew Carey Show was criminally underrated
Right?! It was so innovative.
Groovin' to this @ 4:27 am, January 19, 2025!
Yup! Watching it on Pluto TV, right now!
1:20. Loved that sensual dance with Lisa. 1:40. Also, who is that sexy brunette in the brown outfit?! She's gotta be in her 50s by now.
Still watching it one day after you
@@kathybuhler360 two days after you!
Me too as well in February 4 2025
God bless Drew,Carey… And God bless Trump
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 ?
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
The writers and cast had to have been big musical theater nerds. those huge musical numbers are a big undertaking for a sitcom and the show did so many of them.
LOVED this show - and MIMI!!
@@lunaracc914😂😊😂😊 The episode with Drew's birthday and the training videos 😂😂
Released by The Vogues (from Turtle Creek, a suburb of Pittsburgh) in '66.
oh jeez my freshman roommate at IUP was from Turtle Creek! you just jogged my memory.
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!!!
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!
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.
Only in OHIO!
Cleveland Rocks!
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
Whoever thought of the idea for that and choreographed it did a brilliant job.
Mmmm.... Christa Miller...🥰🥰🥰
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%!
Oh the Vogues! ❤🐈
Definitely one of the most energetic show openings I've ever seen. Love it!
Absolutely!!!!!
Let's address the girl in the blue dress....makes her entrance at about the 1:20 mark....be still my beating heart!!! Love the choreography and love the show!!!!!!
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
Thank you Drew Carey for bringing sunshine to so many people’s lives.
Drew Carey: living proof that a guy who doesn't look like a movie star can be immensely talented, and a great dancer too
I'd give a years pay to meet the girl in the purple outfit. 😍
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
@@zchris87v80 I'm sorry. We spend so much time at work, and work friendships are important, even if not that deep.
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...
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.
One of the few sitcoms I miss, and as noted by BestKaylee, Northern Exposure.
The joy on Drew Carey's face during this whole thing makes me want to get stuck in traffic
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.
Wonderful dancing and fantastic intro to this hilarious and bizarre show. I miss it.
I think Drew Carey’s talent is underrated. He cracks me up so effortlessly.
Drew is always in trouble. His drew Carey show served me well through a depression episode.
"The Tracy Bowl" stands out for me.
@@ottolassiter2132 Drewstock!!!!!
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 ?
I just love this opening of the show my all time favorite..and a great song
I think it was risque! I loved his co-worker and her audacious attitude and wardrobe! ❤
saw this on tv recently and was absolutely blown away
0:50 A goddess. Surely a goddess.
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.
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!
I miss the Drew Carey Show. :(
It’s streaming on PLEX
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
Katy selverstone and the girl in the purple outfit. Both way under-rated.
The entire show is on the Plex app right now. I really miss the fact they changed to the Presidents of the USA theme. I love that band, but this original track soothes my soul
I've been watching it and it's the original. I don't think it shows up until season 3.
@@Rigel7WasAlreadyUsed yes of course! how could I have spaced on the Moon Over Parma song.
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
Wasn’t normal back then at all. This show was cutting its own path.
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.
The 90's had the best sitcoms.
Drew's show was unique and very enjoyable.
This scene is utter genius
Excellent opening Drew Carey show best opening in my open five o clock world
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.
They said it was a crazy idea to hire all professional dancers to work desk jobs. Who is crazy now?
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.
Fun Fun Fun. Good twin to this song would be "Summer Time Blues'
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!!
Drews little side step dance move is genius. Christa Miller was gorgeous.
my brother met him in vegas once. nice guy
I come back to watch this whenever i need a pick me up and end up re-watching a few extra times. There's so many funny little moments in it like Drew trying but failing to eat the donuts or Drew and Mimi choking each other. And he moves really well for a big guy near the end.
Love for the 60s and 70s
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.
As a teenager every season I looked forward to a new opening 😂 this the best one to me
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.
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.
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
I spent my childhood watching shows like this and Married with Children and I think that explains a lot of my personality
Best thing Drew ever did. 17 years ago. Never watched the show.
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?
Still one of the best openings ever
Christa Miller!! ♥️♥️♥️
Thank You Drew Carey From Your Friend at The Akron-Canton Comedy Club‼️
Iol😮😊
I always found this opening very entertaining.
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)
Always loved the show. I always go to see if they do this intro.
Post date 2006.
This a CERTIFIED UA-cam Classic
Man, I miss this show.
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.
this was a special show, cast and writers and crew, Drew was largely responsible
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’!
Every time I saw this opening when the show was on the air, I thought Drew was screaming in the car because he couldn't get a bite of anyone's donut. But watching it now for the first time in like twenty years, it's pretty clear he spilled his coffee on his lap. I don't know how I never got that.
This dance opening ah the best! And the Italian or Latina gal in dance scene. Yes!!
I had forgotten how good this show was .
I want to have a life where I do this with my friends and coworkers every day
I wonder if Drew Carey misses this show. I laughed myself silly at this show.
I've always liked this opening and was bummed when they changed it. Mimi is a GREAT actress!! When she first showed up I said "Whoa!!! What the heck is this!!!" and then I realized that Mimi is a character being played by a great actress, Kathy Kinney.
In today's world we need this show back..
It always seemed they enjoyed making that show. Good feelings. Their 60s homage was spot on.
Wish I could wake up like this every morning!
Favorite opening. I think there was an episode where he dated the purple dress woman.
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.
This theme song is so catchy :)
Man I really miss this show! What a great show.
Best opening ever . Except when it’s over I want to go listen to music.
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? 🤨
This song hits differently when retirement's 6 days away!
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.
Such a good show
