Ian described his song's origins when I asked him about the inspiration:
"Me and Drew" is a song I actually started writing while traveling in Europe this summer. I couldn't watch the first game of the season where I was and I got this crazy idea to write a song about the Saints - then somewhere along the line it became all about Drew Brees and it evolved into a solid love ballad.
With Ian's wig blowing in the wind as he croons to Drew, the video has a Tawny Kitaen dancing on the hood of Whitesnake's Jaguar quality. Kitaen was married to Whitesnake lead singer David Coverdale, which makes you wonder if the Saints Quarterback has seen the video and if Mrs. Brees is concerned as the song that proclaims: "Your birthmark is the finest feature of your fine face," and ends in a marriage proposal.
"I played it live for the first time at Le Chat Noir during a sketch show and everyone loved it and encouraged me to make a video. One of my best friends, also a huge Saints fan, proposed that his production company take up the task of editing and shooting it. The company, PMSports, is a blend of FunnyOrDie and ESPN - they make a ton of different sports-related content that's all very funny so it seemed like a perfect match," Ian says.
He recorded the song with former Deadeye Dick frontman Caleb Guillotte as Pick Sixx and the Black and Gold Union Band. Without further ado, here's Me and Drew and a solid response to The Falcons - Saints Rivalry: Hating America's Team After Hurricane Katrina on the eve of the Saints - Falcons game.
