The most famous Tevye from Fiddler on the Roof is named Chaim Topol. He was born in Tel Aviv in Israel. He did the show on Broadway as well as played Tevye in the movie version. After doing the movie he went on tour as Tevye in the stage show.
The song was "Do you love me".
Yes, fiddler on the roof, is a metaphor. Tevye basically states this in the first scene "we are all like... a Fiddler on the ROOF!" as the first song Tradition (which is another very heavily used theme in the show) The fiddler and his shakiness, almost falling over, as Tevye also states in his opening "speech" represents the breaking with tradition that Tevye and his family do throughout the show.
"Tradition" is sung by Tevye, with assorted villagers.
It is based on Tevye and his Daughters (or Tevye the Milkman and Other Tales)
