Still cry to this day 😭 when he said Europe’s biggest trading estate so much emotion

[@letsgobrandon2235]

🤣

[@Thecrazyraven.]

My favorite thing about Ricky is he can sit alone in front of a camera and crack himself up!!!!😂😂. Finding yourself funny is the best therapy on this miserable planet 🌎 ❤️😊

[@wildhogs2849]

He's a great guy. Brings happiness to all his fans even in difficult times.

[@chrisnam1603]

it isnt the planet that is miserable... its humans ruining a beautiful planet & wonderful nature right♥

[@elmexingles]

@@chrisnam1603 it is bloody miserable and I’ve just about had enough

[@TheRadiostar72]

@@elmexingles you made me laugh with this. We are all in this together, my friend. Maybe it turns out alright, maybe we all become total assholes. I’ve been watching to long to miss the ending. ♥️🙏🏻💪🏼😂

the creator of the best UK show ever, it can't and wont be beat

[@truthhurts467]

Just wanted to say Thank U I've always liked your movie's 📽 🎬But after your hosting of the Golden globes awards I have a Greater appreciation for U BossMan!! U might have pissed off Hollywood but you gained a Brother with me & thousands around the world. If you ever needed anything an I could help I would be there in a drop of a hat.! Thanks for all the brightness🌞 U bring in these other wise dark times we're all going through.

[@zoobee]

the truth is, as much as this is a funny song, it contains genuine pathos and melancholy. The joke is on Dave Brent, and on Slough, but its also truthful and wistful. Ricky Gervais sees the sadness behind the mundanity of life & a character like Brent and that is why Ricky is so talented, and such a brilliant writer and observer of life

[@goodmorningsundaymorning4533]

Have you seen his show Derek on netflix? Def a must-see.

[@mrSam3ooo]

One of the most important tunes of the 21st century. Standing the test of time

[@Rswipes83]

Just an all round talented, gifted human being. I love you.

[@otda3675]

“More convenient than a tesco expresssssss” I’m American and we don’t have tesco, but straight away that line kills me

[@JFinney]

Just pretend he talks about a Walmart minimart then

[@michelles9117]

I work in a Tesco Extra, not as convenient as an Express, but the fact he referenced Tesco in his opening line makes me smile! 😄

[@TheStevenWhiting]

Think of it as a mini Walmart that opens late. We also have Sunday trading laws so shops have to close at 4 or 4.30 on Sunday. But Tesco Express is allowed to stay open late on a Sunday. I can't remember the reason why.

[@user-gj8wo8lq9s]

@@JFinney I thought he said texaco.

This is a masterpiece. This guy is underrated and should have more subs. And a stadium.

@KC's have you never heard of ricky gervais? one of the biggest names in the UK and does the golden globes almost every year. also an actor, watch ‘the office’ UK version (original) funniest thing ever.

[@kcs4212]

@@jxz-ne3br who? Ricky gervais? Never heard of him. I"ll look him up..

[@jxz-ne3br]

@KC's cant tell if your being sarcastic or not... so ill assume you arent. ‘David Brent’ is a character who Ricky Gervais (real life comedian/actor) plays in ‘the office’. also released a few parody songs (like this) as ‘David Brent’. the channel name is ricky gervais lol

[@diamonddee461]

This is so Bowie. Its actually a really great song musically. But the lyrics are pure British sarcasm at its finest. Hats off Ricky 😃👍!

[@notloki3140]

his first foray into entertainment came early on when he was a young lad and created the musical duo, Seona Dancing. Just two songs released, one of which hit nr.1 in South Korea. It was very David Bowie.

[@kawaiilotus]

@@notloki3140 i thought it was the Philippines?

[@notloki3140]

@@kawaiilotus yes, that appears to be the case.

[@ghost_emoji]

Loved his deep voice back in Seona Dancing ❤

This should have been nominated for the Mercury Prize for music...or maybe the Netto one instead !

[@MostlyLoveOfMusic]

legit strong track

[@GoreJess11]

My favorite song on this album!

[@davyd8963]

Ricky you are awesome. My favourite commedian and also a better singer than most of these days autotuned ones.

[@evamorales8277]

I’ve been listening to this song recently! I love it!!

[@ginge82]

A genuinely brilliant song.

[@Thriving_Tribesmen]

I love how you speak your truth with no filter, many have got famous and become puppets to a whopped system. Your freedom of expression is liberating!

[@BrickAcurra]

LMAO despite Slough being a dump, this is a pretty good song...it`s inspired me to do a song about High Wycombe now lololol

[@goodmorningsundaymorning4533]

Ricky I have to say I absolutly LOVE the show Derek. I'm watching it now. I work here in the US in an independent living facility for the elderly and this show is making me laugh, cry, all emotions. Heartwarming show. I loves old ppl. The elderly, babies, and animals, all have something special about them and we cherish every moment we have with them. I'm also a HUGE Office fan UK/US. And your golden globes speech was phenomenal. You are truly a class act 🏆. P.S. This song rocks.

[@OfficialFingazMC]

Love this song!

[@TedCornish]

More Brent please we need him back

[@Tbass323]

👍 just loving this song! can't help but smile when going by coach from Victoria Station to Bristol, and passing by the signs leading to Slough 😀 OMG I miss Britain! Stuck in Sweden right now. Looking forward to a Ploughman's sandwich and a pint... Life's too short... Rule Britannia 👍⚡

[@76not84]

I think I unironically like the song. It certainly has its quirks, but it does leave a void when it's over.

[@australien6611]

Good to see how up to date you keep Ricky gervais' KZbin channel?

[@paulkiddy32]

Equality street was my fav song....but yer ricky I'd also say as funny as the majority of your comedy is...what's even better is the acting careers you have helped kickstart or even maybe bring back from the brink...most people you work with seem to be a handed a golden ticket to bigger better things

[@1seansouth]

it just shows with a good producer mediocre rock music can sound much better. then the band/singer does media interviews talking about their 'creative inspiration'.

More convenient that a Tesco express Close to Windsor but the properties less Keeps the businesses of Britain great It's got Europe's biggest trading estate It doesn't matter where you're from You wanna work? Then come along The station's just got a new floor And the motorway runs by your door And you know just where you're heading It's equidistance 'tween London and Reading Oh Slough My kind of town I don't know how, anyone could put you down To the West you got Taplow and Bray You got Hillingdon the other way It's a brilliant place to live and work It was in Bucks now officially it's Berks Don't listen to what the critics say Like it's soulless, and boring and grey See for yourself, what you waiting for? We're on the Bath road, that's the A4 And you know just where you'll be heading It's equidistance 'tween London and Reading Oh Slough My kind of town I don't know how, anyone could put you down Oh Slough My kind of town I don't know how, anyone could put you down

[@nilobeebee]

Why is "More to Lose" and actually Seona Damcing out of Spotify? Millions of middle class 50 year olds in the Philippines are about to hold their 35th year high school reunions and they can't include this iconic song in their playlist and will have to hire a dj just for this.

[@NadaSurferTube]

yeah okay

[@nizzle6588]

Ricky I hope you see this message. I know you probably get this all the time but could you please do a spin off show about Kev. Picture it? I must go on KZbin and look up “best of Kev in derek” weekly. It always makes me laugh and cheers me up. The possibilities are endless, there must be so much material there to do. You could make it as a documentary about him. Some low budget production by some “do gooders” who want to video the plights of a man who’s life is rock bottom. Could follow him around his hang out spots. Boozing on street corners, kids parks etc. He could have a bunch of low life mates too. We’re in a world of too much political correctness at the minute. Someone who’s as crude and disgusting as Kev would give these sort of people nightmares. It would be so refreshing. Hope this message reaches you mate ❤️
