"The Drew Carey Show" features "Girlfriend In a Coma" in opening song
posted by davidt on Thursday February 08 2001, @10:00AM

 Lots of people saw this show last night (the episode was titled "Drew's In A Coma", Feb. 7). Tito was first to write: This week's episode of The Drew Carey Show has Drew in the hospital after a car accident. Much to my surprise, the opening credits for the show featured the sounds of "Girlfriend in a Coma". Sadly, I was the most excited person in the room.

Kerissa also writes: Tonight on the Drew Carey show they used the Smiths version of 'Girlfriend In A Coma.' It was edited for time and shots of Drew Carey flying in the air was while certain shots the usual opening went by in slow motion. The episode was about his character being a coma (natch!) after a car accident. Drew Carey usually has songs he likes on the show, so maybe this means he's a Smiths fan!

MorrizeeFan also writes: WOAH! I was watching The Drew Carey Show tonight and when it started they used "Girlfriend in a Coma" instead of the usual "Cleveland Rocks" or whatever their theme song is called. Drew Carey, Smiths fan? Weird!

MattZ also writes: During tonight's episode of The Drew Carey Show, "Girlfriend In A Coma" played during the opening credits. This was thee actual Smiths and not some cheesy cover! Turns out Drew was in an accident, got bonked on the head, and was in a coma. I listened to the song and then turned off the TV.

And finally, BoyRacr77 writes: ...On last night's "Drew Carey Show", the main character, Drew, sliped into a coma. Upon his friends learning this, "Girlfriend in a Coma" started playing. A good portion of the song was played at an audible level. Pretty neat considering this is aired on a major US television network, during the February sweeps period!

        It's funny that the Drew Carey Show used a Smiths song.......I was watching the show the other day and it struck me how much Drew Carey looks like Morrissey......the glasses and the hair.......quite amazing......and then using "Girlfriend In A Coma" in one of his shows - I think we have a Mozzer fan here, Folks!

        I too listened while i munched on my taco. I almost stood up to check who was listening to it only seeing that idiot Carrey flying over whatever crappy city he inhabits. Nobody neither noticed or cared about the song, and that made me feel allright within myself.
