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

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

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

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

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

“I don’t know how, anyone could put you down.” Legend.

WOW, WHAT A MASTERPIECE.. JOHN BETJEMAN'S WORDS.. LIKE.. "FRIENDLY BOMBS.." AREN'T A PATCH ON BRENT'S HEARTFELT SONGS.. BRAVO BRENT.. 🙋

Loved his deep voice back in Seona Dancing ❤

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.

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!

legit strong track

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

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.

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.

Born in Windsor, grew up in Slough! Thomas Grey County Primary then Slough Technical High School!! Dad worked for Mars Limited!! Walked past ICI works on the way to school every day....

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

A genuinely brilliant song.

I worked in Slough for 4 years and this is just the type of song that I would have written. Thanks dear boy for expressing the soul of Slough and sharing it with the world. An uncanny masterpiece.

My favorite song on this album!

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.

It's a brilliant place to live & work,it was in Buks but now it's Berks

Love this song!

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

@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

Genius actor, genius songer and 24k genius fans...

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

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

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

🎤oh Slough.... Love it

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

👍 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 👍⚡

Was raised in Hillingdon, moved to iver just outside Slough. Wish he had mentioned that the train station had a cased taxidermy dog named Station Jim.

Ricky please bring karl ans stephen in after life 3

I have only one word for you. Hero!!!!!!! I hear what you say😉 Btw...no one can put my mind down! My body can be put down by force,but my mind can't! Never!

🦄 much love to you from south Florida 🏖❤

Better singer than many actually.

It's equidistant tween London and Reading

lovely song my friend.

Up there with red dwarf, the mighty boosh, father Ted, darkplace.....to name a few

You can really hear Bowie's influence

I guess I have to put Slough on my itinerary, right after the British Museum and Stonehenge.

Tune

Thanks Ricky

I wish I was cool like you 😎 perfect class every time

♥

Actually a blinding tune lol

❤️

Classic. Toro y Moi did a cover as well :)

Nice

In ten years this will be the National anthem in the pubs..How much you dare to bet? This is the antithesis to Oasis. Piece of musical history! Hah..

Emotional and educational...

Mist say I thought merriman weir had better comedic songs and I loved matt in the office as the technician...but the office has to be one of the best comedies ever made

Did David Bowie record this before he died?

I miss London

Work.

How long before KZread flags Ricky's own video for his own music.

Genuinely a good song haha. Did Razorlight and Dumdums play on this track too?

Bowie would be proud

There goes David Brent...

Great but I am a bit disappointed that this is not accompanied by a video.

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

If you get this...Ron Sexsmith's "Beautiful View' WOULD HAVE BEEN GREAT on After Life...MOO...

I'll be honest, wasn't a big fan. But after the globes a serious elevation in my estimation! Great Job, bloody loved it.

You always said in podcasts you wanted to film his family

Slough, cow, dow, pow

More like David Bowie, nice

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

Just awful So so fkn awful. I love it

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.

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

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'.

yeah okay

Ciao! Why your show's tickets cost so much?? I love you but it's too expensive! I bet it's worth seeing you but can't afford it! Anyways 😂 you are still the best!!

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 KZread 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 ❤️

The new Pink Floyd?

Ricky. I would like to be a functional alchoolic. Can you give me some tips? thanks ricky.

Hi Ricky

IF YOU WANT TO GET TO SLOUGH.. M4.. MOTORWAY WEST OUT OF LONDON, YOU WILL SEE WINDSOR CASTLE ON YOUR LEFTHAND SIDE.. AND WHEN YOU SMELL SHIT.. TURN OFF NEXT LEFT.. JUNCTION 7.. WELCOME TO SLOUGH.. ( It has a massive sewage works, just beside the motorway.. Haha... And if you turn left towards Slough centre.. You can get the smell from the Mars Bar factory, which is a lot better..)

Hey you can only ask

Ricky. Could you please reply for an email address if you are free Saturday to do a turn for the current Truth Tour 😊 your help in this amazing cause would be very much appreciated after your brilliant speech in Hollywood. Many thanks 😊

Hey Ricky, just completed first season of After Life and I have a better tagline for it.. "How to make everything about yourself while inviting people for coffee" 🤣 Nah um kidding, it's a cool show.. But really, tony needs to listen to others problems as well... Just saying

I’ve googled you as I don’t want to go on Twitter. I’ve just got into Instagram with the help of my kids. Not kids really both in their 20s. I just want to help people understand how important animals are to us humans. I just, today put my Carlo down today. It broke us. Not just me and my daughters but everyone who knew us and him.
