He started in a band in the eighties and he later managed Suede before anybody else. It was clear from quite early on during the initial run of The Office that he does have some musical talent.
Although it's a comedy song, you just know Ricky loves the whole recording of this, the song and video. He says it's "David Brent etc..", but he quietly wishes it was a different song from him and his band and was being filmed for the history records of music. Still, he's done okay with his side-gig.
I wouldn't say its a comedy song. The singer may have been in a comedy show where he first played this song, but if you didn't know that, I don't think you would listen to this and think *Yak Yak Yak*
@@adambrammeld9286 I saw that kid at a show last summer opening for an Oasis tribute band (of all things) and totally forgot his name until now! Thanks so much. He’s a talented fella.
How come everything Ricky touches just turns to gold? He literally can't put a foot wrong.. I'm not complaining I love Gervais!!! He just hits the jackpot with everything it's almost like he has a guardian angel of sorts watching over him.
you must have stopped watching his material after about 2010. Everything he's made since then has been garbage. Derek, Lifes Too Short, Supernature, Afterlife, Invention of Lying, Life on The Road, Learn Guitar With David Brent. All shiiiite.
A conversation with Liam would be just like Pilkington but less intelligible or thoughtful. Liam is not as intelligent as Pilkington, if that's even possible. Let alone as funny. A conversation with Noel would be Pilkington with a higher IQ and knowledge. As many original thoughts and with an equal level of humour as Pilkington but stated with more eloquence, adherence to facts and less contradiction.
Some might say, it was this exposure which catapulted Noel into the starlight once again following the demise of Oasis as we knew it then.. I hear recently that a postgrad at Salford Uni was delving into this history as primary focus of their PhD thesis... God bless and help us all.. please.
That’s just like my mates dad doing a video/song in the 90s trying to be cool and on point except that was unintentional and hilarious and this was intentional and hilarious 😆👌

What an opportunity to work with a musical genius. Noel is a lucky man.
Noel is? But .... wha-? .... Who? I mean, Noel!? Don't you mean .... but ..... I don't .... surely .... etc.
Gervais big in Mexico, ay carumba!
@@lunathedog5965 good dog
You’re thinking of Richard Ashcroft.
Haha I’m dying!
This song really isn't the same without "she's deaaad".
"She's not dead.."
Sounds a bit Gay……
@@999ukfire it's not gay
@@andymerrett He's looking at a photograph
@@James-we9ro It's just that it sounds a bit gay
Ricky and Noel = cracking night out!! Xx
The way Noel hits that high note so effortlessly !
Crazy to think all this and the office is approaching a quarter of a century old. Still incredible and it’s aged well.
The Office debuted in 2001.
“The Office debuted in 2001”
Yeah, exactly… approaching 25 years. We know it debuted in 2001 or whatever.
Still faf
Endless talent with Ricky.....great sound from the band.
Ricky definitely utilised his comedy writing and television work to pursue his musical dreams, we all know he is a music lover.
Ricky gervais and Jack black would be class
He started in a band in the eighties and he later managed Suede before anybody else. It was clear from quite early on during the initial run of The Office that he does have some musical talent.
Loved Ricky for years and Noel is my idol, perfection.
Although it's a comedy song, you just know Ricky loves the whole recording of this, the song and video. He says it's "David Brent etc..", but he quietly wishes it was a different song from him and his band and was being filmed for the history records of music. Still, he's done okay with his side-gig.
Agree.
He is Brent for sure
Spot on
He had a hit in the Philipines in the 80s called More to lose with his band Seona Dancing. th-cam.com/video/ABjYSxyUD98/w-d-xo.html
I wouldn't say its a comedy song. The singer may have been in a comedy show where he first played this song, but if you didn't know that, I don't think you would listen to this and think *Yak Yak Yak*
Noel knows he's in the company of greatness. 😂
Words can’t describe how happy I am that Noel did this
It's so great to see Ricky having so much fun. Love this video, it always makes me a little bit happier.
David Brent is the greatest character in British comedy history.
Robert Straw Del Boy , trigger from only fools and horses

Here here
@@robertstraw9881 Edgy you are
Robert Straw Get out.
Okay, that's Lunch!!
Okaaaaaay
I prefer a flan
The crossover we thought we would never see, but a love it somehow
And now my baby’s gone - SHE’S DEEAAADD -
She’s not dead
fkin funny
Ricky is the absolute best.
Never gets old
Brilliant vid 👏 🌟🎉
Noel hitting those HIGHS! go on G
Natalie Salt dont day g I beg u
You wanna hear his falsetto on Lord dont slow me down and on backing vocals for that Geordie lad Andrew cushins track wheres my family gone

@@badofcheese mate he’s got such a great voice 👌👌👌 he’s got some more stuff coming out soon. He’s got 3 singles out currently all sound amazing
My son sang this in a pub when he was 16 . The humour went above the heads of his peers. Didn’t worry him too much. He did a cracking job.
Your who?
@@itsMrNoble son . I’m a terrible typer.
Thanks for uploading this.
I love this video. Ricky is so cheeky and cute. He's a good singer actually!
Such a good song. That guitar solo is awesome
Love him!
How come everything Ricky touches just turns to gold? He literally can't put a foot wrong.. I'm not complaining I love Gervais!!!
He just hits the jackpot with everything it's almost like he has a guardian angel of sorts watching over him.
It's called been a genius
Well said.
well afterlife is dogshit so there's that

Oof this comment came too soon. Haven't seen Afterlife or the Brent movie I'm guessing? Load of old toss
This could absolutely fit on any of Noels new albums
Should seen what we got Pete Gubbinz oooohhh they’ll tell ya
@@lloydchristmas1193 Gubbinz, or Gibbons? Coz I'm getting a bit...
Why is it because its proper shite?
Love them both so much
Great track
The most iconic TV sc
scene of all time
Could you imagine actually having this man in your LIFE? What a treasure.
Well done Ricky, he made his dreams come through
I do love this recording of Freelove Freeway, but the Life On The Road version is absolutely incredible.
He gives it socks on the last chorus.
Bloody good track.
This song is actually really good, I love the chorus and Foregone Conclusion is quite a rock n' roll band name.
That's coz he grew up nearly being in a boyband but they sucked
"Ladies n gentlemen, please welcome to the stage: 'Forgone conclusion"
Nope. Lol
@@gillymac9363 *_ORANGE GOBlIN?!_*
It’s cause he’s basically a chilled out entertainer
Texas knew they were good. Probably what spurred them on.
Bangin tune 💜
This would have been a huge hit in the mid 90’s. It’s like Counting Crows meets Cake.
This song made Training Day episode my favorite of the first season/series, lol always makes me laugh and happy
"I think there's been a rape up there"
"A good idea is a good idea, forever"
"There is no room 409. Some complaints will be false"
This would of been an an oasis album track in the mid 2000's if Noely G wrote it.
That's a big if
Yeah cos it's mediocre
Damn. That’s harsh, but it could have made it on Heathen Chemistry.
turnupthesun81 this song wouldn’t have even made the b sides on that album but this is still a good song
Lol no it wouldn’t have. This is country not rock
magic
They managed to get Noel AND a Noel-lookalike for the guitar solo
I'd kill to watch a conversation between Ricky and Liam Gallagher.
I think Noel does the conversations 😂
A conversation with Liam would be just like Pilkington but less intelligible or thoughtful. Liam is not as intelligent as Pilkington, if that's even possible. Let alone as funny.
A conversation with Noel would be Pilkington with a higher IQ and knowledge. As many original thoughts and with an equal level of humour as Pilkington but stated with more eloquence, adherence to facts and less contradiction.
David Brent is great, Noel G is great, this song is GREAT!
Ha ha ha ha...the sound of the recording and the arrangement is amazing.
Some might say, it was this exposure which catapulted Noel into the starlight once again following the demise of Oasis as we knew it then.. I hear recently that a postgrad at Salford Uni was delving into this history as primary focus of their PhD thesis... God bless and help us all.. please.
Awwww good sruff I wanna rexord it ❤❤❤ 🎤🎤🎤
Had no idea this existed, absolutely top notch😂
no salgo del asombro de ver a noel gallagher cantando sin guitarra y verlo sonriendo jajaja, GENIOS!!!!!! me encanto el video
Pair of genius’. British icons! 🫡 you both, Sirs
Yeah …. David Brent and Joe on Drums
Genius' what?
Tim wrote that backing line so well
Great tune
Really suprised he doesn't do more music, only found this song recently, think it's a great track , Ricky sounds really good
Noely G can hit that high one. Dude is gonna Live Forever.
"She's deaaad."
"She's not dead."
That’s just like my mates dad doing a video/song in the 90s trying to be cool and on point except that was unintentional and hilarious and this was intentional and hilarious 😆👌
The sound is monster.
2 British legends!
Yeah …. Joe on Drums and David Brent on vocals
i love everything Ricky does,especially Derek & After Life
22 years ago I saw The Office ...the best one, UK version...and tonight I find this! Perfect! I l love Ricky Gervais lol :)
"she's dead". great rocker
She's not dead
3:45 this ending is better than 150mg of Sertraline and the ‘yeah!’ is absolutely spot on.
Brilliant!
3:05 "It's not gay!"
I..love..you
“He’s looking at a picture”
Sounds a bit gay
I would love to be Ricky's friend.
richard10013 Have you what it’s like for Karl Pilkington?? 😂
Lol you wouldnt if your name was karl pilky
Genius
thanks for the upload
08lum08 7 years ago damn
Absolute genius
Can't believe that he is not a successful musician (Seona Dancing} He so great....
noel with his lacost shirt...ricky in a pair of shorts. WELL SMART!
It's Lacoste
Not gonna lie the guitar on this is amazing
@@PlatfootNL It's actually not, he's surprisingly only on backing vocals here.
@@cornerback4074 who’s that dude playing the electric?
@@cornerback4074 Did Noel not write the song for Ricky?
@@mikecharlie794 Nope Gervais wrote it
Why even mention lying in the first place ?????
This isn't the UK Office. It's just The Office.
I find that flamenco style arpeggio when he says señorita way to funny and I realise this isn’t actually a comedy sketch
It’s a damn good song
This song was quite good, good lyrics!
why have another guitarist when you have Noel Gallagher in the studio?
Noel is shit
@@James-sj3qj Sure, where's your discography wanker?
Keep crying, he's shit. Oasis are shit. Britpop is shit.
James Lawrence is a goth
Because Noel Gallagher can barely play the guitar.
All jokes aside Rickys vocals are on point
He was actually a singer before became a script writer & comedian. Look up Seona Dancing, that's his old band.
@@P.Whitestrake yes I have seen it. Such a blast to see him so young and serious!
Nice to see Lego Head Tim from the Office on backing vocals
He's looking at a picture. Of you?
This is good. Unironically.
i didnt know steve carell could sing?! great job and very catchy!
no she's not dead!
In Australia we say ... Gold 🏆!!
This is gold!
❤❤❤❤
The video did not clarify the cowboy looking at the photograph.........
Anything Ricky does is just pure genius.. A true British legend
Gutted they omitted Gareth and Tim’s backing vocals
“Sounds a bit gay”
‘It’s not gay’
He's actually a genius to write a song with so much passion and conviction while it being so shit and cliched lol.
Bob Segeresque tune 👌👏
Didn't know Ricky G can sing & play guitar well! He really is a man of many talents! God blessed him, indeed! (LOL 😂 if you understand sarcasm...)
''she's not dead..''
Anybody else singing "don't you knoooooow, I'm talking about a revolution..." when listening to this? 😂
I'd like this with the last verse being just voice and acoustic guitar(as it starts) to retain more of the feeling of a lament.
This is so 2000s
Legitimately a fire song. Hilarious too
Noel was an excellent sport for doing this video… To be fair it’s not a bad tune… ironic & funny…
Love this, straight up I Do
This is SO much better than the crap version on Apple Music. Put this version out guys!!
I really thin Ricky is the only one who can invite Noel and Liam to a dinner and they just say "Let's tour again, you open Ricky!"
It’s a great song to be fair
Decent singer
