In the US, Drew Carey was best known for the "Drew Carey Show," which was a sort of late night (near prime time?) soap opera in which he played a middle-manager sort (kind of a Dilbert) at a large department store in Milwaukee(?) or maybe it was Philadelphia(?).

Principal antagonists on that show included his "manager" (the pointy-haired boss) who was "very British" with no comprehension of management, the secretary to pointy-haired boss also known as "fat broad," an incredibly "evil" b***h who married his idiot brother, a couple of blue-collar "intellectually challenged" friends, and of course one or two attractive good hearted semi-lovers with whom he was "Dilbertish-successful." Story lines centered on swilling beer.

The show was originated to pick up on the "genre popularity" of the semi-hit "That 70s Show" which is another show that most outside the US, or any who actually watch TV in the daytime, will never have heard of.

Recently Carey was picked up as the new host for the long-running lowestcommondenomenator daytime show "The Price Is Right" where he's generating lots of yawns. The show will quite probably disappear and go back to reruns with the previous hosts as soon as the writers settle their strike.

His characteristic style implies he'd rather be on "Prairie Home Companion."

He's written a couple of (perhaps slightly semi-biographical) short novels that three or four people may have read, and pretends to be an "ordinary guy(?)" who is "really something of an intellectual(??)" "feigning(?) illiteracy" for the entertainment value. It's difficult to tell which is the real Drew, and which is the role, indicating at least moderate talent at portraying/implying what he isn't(?).

BUT ON THE ORIGINAL SUBJECT: The video that was linked has now disappeared, and nobody posted the lyric used there. ($@#%!)
