I have so much respect for this guy now. Hollywood sucks you up and spits you back out. No one else but very few people know what that feels like. I’m proud of Drake Bell for coming forward and I hope he heads down a path of redemption and healing.

I have no idea why but this song pops into my head, especially in the shower. It represents such a fun time in my life and in TV. Really cool to hear this story. And much love and respect to you, Drake.

You just settled a 20 year old argument! I was on team "realign" and my sister was on team "realize."

I always enjoyed this song. I indeed had that thought, "omg Drake & Josh is on!"

Like many fans, I’ve re listened to your telegraph album on replay since QOS & all I can say is wow! Your music speaks so much about what you went through & it sounds like you’ve only just connected this song to that period in your life (as well as to the premise of D&J) but it’s s true, this I you’re fightback anthem in 2003! Your decision to go public, I truly admire that and I’m sure it will help lot people. I hope the past few years are behind you & you’re looking forward & a lot of fans are 💯% with you

Would love for these types of chill sort of story/tour vids to become a regular thing! It's awesome!

Looking forward to more frequent uploads! Rock and Roll!

I'm crying a lot Drake is a great person, I just found out what he suffered and this video moves me because that song was the first one I learned without knowing English, I'm from Colombia and I wish you the best.

What an awesome story. This song is my childhood, you guys were my childhood. You were so brave deciding to compose the theme song yourself, and later showing it to the producers, something that sometimes can feel so intimate and insecure about. Actually really inspiring!

That's a great story, brought back a lot of great memories of binging on Drake & Josh back when I was in school. I got interested to start playing guitar after watching the show lol. Although I started playing at the age of 27 but I got obsessed with guitars after watching that show, especially with the sexy cherry red Fender Stratocaster which Drake plays throughout the show. The very sight of that guitar captivated me and motivated me to start playing. I should've started from school, but it's never too late I guess. Now with a steady paying job, owning a Fender Stratocaster is still in my bucket list. Let's see when that dream becomes a reality.

What great chord progressions on this tune. Very well written piece of music.

Wow, watching this video just gave me flashback to my childhood. I remember buying your first actual CD with all your music and I was hooked almost immediately. Here I am, 28 yrs old and still a fan. Well done.

You and your friend were just a pair of teenagers and made such a classic and timeless song!! I'm speechlees, thanks for sharing this great anecdote.
