"Don't Cry, It's Christmas" would have been prefect for children in need.

The greatest talent to come along in the last 50 years.

[@iamthefezzer123]

This is the true end to the film, his character getting his big break!

[@pavlovsunhappydog]

That's brilliant...but it wouldn't realistically happen to Brent..he's deluded. It would be good though, i do love him.

[@sugminstoradase]

Love it!!

[@michaellloyd9914]

That’s the real quiz

[@JustOneAsbesto]

It's funny because US country singers sing songs like this unironically.

[@gustavstresemann9391]

But it's funnier with English place names

[@otda3675]

Ricky, your a genius, I don't give a fuck what anyone says, ur the only one who can turn David Fuckin Brent into a music star lol

[@o_bebeco]

David Adams Duuude, that's not Ricky! That's David "Superfuckin'star" Brent!!! =D

[@elgatocapibara]

I didn't know he was a musician, I'm actually pretty much blown away by how talented this guy is

[@ToweTiih]

Yes

[@johnfletcher9907]

@@ToweTiihFYI Ricky gervais had a hit in the 1980s which I think made the top ten for a week or something daft. One hit wonder. And when talking about David Brent the character in an interview he said he didn’t want the songs to be musically bad but instead wants the audience to be surprised by them actually being really good to listen to but at the same time really shocked at how the lyrics and the point of the song are so misguided due to Brent being a tit. A talented, and lovable tit.

Good old British audience, clapping along to every fucking song that gets played on whatever show has a studio audience

[@KultrunAus]

hahahaa

[@Danscottmusic]

Unlike american audience that have a round of applause after every sentence spoken

[@terry2405]

He actually is a real pop star from the 80's, sooooo....

[@eastendthug]

Terry Turner I'm not disputing that fact. Do you go to gigs/.concerts and clap like a twat through the entire song/set?

[@terry2405]

[@Kurfew2009]

'I get a costa, hard shoulder? No, coffe holder' Genius and musically excellent ;)

[@ots1634]

Not the lyrics, he doesn't say 'no' because, not only does it not fit syllabically, but it also means something completely different. He isn't refuting the existence of the hard shoulder, he isn't saying "no, not hard shoulder, coffee holder instead" he is explaining that the coffee holder and the hard shoulder go hand in hand. The "hard shoulder?.... coffee holder" is an imagined interaction between the audience and Brent, he is explaining how he handles hard shoulders, should anyone be concerned about his hot coffee- his head shake is supposed to communicate "No it is not going to spill, I have a coffee holder". Please try harder not to mess up the lyrics that you are praising, and ruining them when doing so. I'm only half being serious and am making a ceremony of being a pendant, although the point remains.

[@wintermute8315]

@@ots1634 Are you actually ignoring Gervais' gesture during that line? He doesn't literally say 'no' out loud - he gestures it. I think you struggle with nuance, lad.

[@ots1634]

@@wintermute8315 no, lad. He gestures "don't worry", not "no" because he is not refuting a hard shoulder and suggesting a coffee holder instead, like the initial comment implies. I think you struggle with logic.

Is this that one band that was once supported by a little-known Scottish outfit called Texas?

[@ReubenJames1000]

hahahahahahahaaaa!!

[@velvlol]

Dont slag em off

[@777McLovin777]

C0rnwallace The thing is we're both good in our own fields. I'm sure Texas couldn't run and manage a successful paper merchants. I couldn't do what.... Actually I could do what they do and I think they knew that back then, that's probably what spurred them on.
