COMIC Ricky Gervais has hired a Noel to record a version of Freelove Freeway for his Christmas special of The Office.

But don’t panic — it’s Oasis star Noel Gallagher, NOT Noel Edmonds of cheesy Noel’s House Party Fame.

Rocker Gallagher, 37, provides backing vocals for the song which Ricky wrote for his comedy creation, buffoon David Brent.

Noel appears with Ricky on The Office festive DVD after recording the tune in London.

The video shows the two pals fooling around in the studio.

Ricky, 43, wrote the ditty for an episode called Training, in series one of The Office. In that scene, Brent sings while strumming his guitar — badly.

Noel, who is a massive fan of The Office, asked to work with Ricky after seeing his stand-up show Politics. They were introduced by chat show star Jonathan Ross.

An insider said: “Ricky was well chuffed.” The DVD is out on October 25.

Doh :)

[whatever]

:lol:

[Howdo]

i must be the only person not to like the office! :(

[Watson]

I didnt like it when I watched it either. But weebrian is gonny give me the dvd's and I will give it a bash properly

[Howdo]

i keep trying to watch it when its on uk gold but when the adverts come on i usually turn it over! think i need to borrow a dvd to watch it properly!

[whatever]

i am the same. dont like the office at all.
could never get into it.

[joyorder]

i must be the only person not to like the office! :(

its crap innit' bit too boring for me,prefer peter kay.
:lol:

[Howdo]

ah well must be the people round here that like it then! :D

yeah peter kay is good! can't beat chubby brown tho! for stand up!

[cardifffemale]

dont like the office either

Have you checked out the chubby official and unofficial sites some great jokes on there

[Howdo]

yeah had a look on there a while ago, do u know if hes touring again? cause i heard rumours that when we went last year to see him was going to be his last tour cause of his health

[weebrian]

The office is the best programme ever. I find it funnier and funnier everytime I watch it (I must have seen all episodes over twenty times now, some alot more). Freelove Freeway (the song noel has done) is a classic. I have the original David Brent version on my computer.

[Howdo]

will have to get some dvds of them borrowed cause i'm the only 1 round here that don't like it! tried to get into it but just can't!

[weebrian]

Yeah lots of people I know dont really see why its funny. Its a case of love it or hate it. I suppose it depends on your sense of humour.

[Howdo]

i love things like the royle family, only fools, fawlty towers and loads more so i thought i'd be able to get into the office! i'll be just sat watching it one night and it'll just hit me that its hilarious! :D

I am going to the newport one

[Howdo]

:( he normally comes to batley bout 30 mins drive from me! would love to see him again!

[cardifffemale]

Saw him a few times now love his xmas tours and the xmas songs

[weebrian]

To be honest there is no way Noel can match or beat the original Freelove Freeway with Gareth and Tim providing the random backing vocals.

[Howdo]

had another attempt at watching the office last night and i honestly can't get into it!

[weebrian]

I watch at least an episode a day. Its the funniest thing ever.

[Howdo]

the 1 i watched last night, it was 1 of the lads birthday and he was sat in the office with a green radio cap on! i kept trying to watch the full episode but i really couldn't get into it!

[weebrian]

I know the one you mean. Its Tims 30th. That episode is a classic. The pub quiz is funny as hell and after it when Chris Finch throws Tims shoe over the roof is one of my top ten best office moments.

[weebrian]

Believe it or not Ive actually watched that episode twice since Sunday. Sad bastard i know but I cant get enough of the Office.

[Howdo]

i've not give up on it yet! going to get a dvd of it and lock myself away with a tv and dvd player and a pack of beer that never fails!

[Watson]

There isnt any canned laughter in The Office is there?

If not mabye thats why people dont get into it

[weebrian]

yeah thats a good point about no laughter.

the humour isnt obvious. its made as a documentary. the writers (gervais and merchant) have created some of the best characters ever (David Brent, Gareth, Finchy, Keith) which once youve watched it a few times you should hopefully understand them all more and see why they are all so funny.

Just about everything David Brent says is funny in my opinion.

The best episode ever is Series 2 episode one. This episode has my funniest TV moment ever when Brent is introducing himself to the new staff from Swindon.

[Howdo]

theres no canned laughter in the royle family but u seem to laugh ur bollocks off at that!

[weebrian]

i laugh more at the office than i do at royale family although i do find it quite funny. suppose it depends on your sense of humour.

[Howdo]

yeah it does! didn't take me long to get into the royle family but loads keep going on about the office and as much as i try, i can't get into it! i love brittish comedies too!

[weebrian]

i reccomend you watch series 2 episode 1. if you dont find the first 10 minutes of that funny you may as well give up.

[Howdo]

i'll lend that from my mate whos got all the office dvds! and try and watch that!

[Watson]

Or another way I think is good to find something funny when you dont normally, is get stoned, or pished. Stoned seems to work better for me. Everytime I have watched Scary Movie stoned, I laugh like fuck, but the 2 times I watched it normal, I had a few giggles and that was it

Although Airplane owns all films in the comedy industry, followed closely by Blazing Saddles

[Howdo]

yeah defo going to try that! i was the same with the scary movies films too! the 2nd had me in tears when i was pissed! so i bought it and watched it sober and it wasn't as good!

blazing saddles has to be pure comedy! another dvd i need to get!

[Watson]

'Oh the camp town lady sing this song, Doo Da, Doo Da'

[Howdo]

i am now a fan of the office :) watched the one with david brent playing the guiter in the meeting the other night, i was pissing myself! going to have to get myself some office dvds now!

[weebrian]

that is probably the second best one from series one. freelove freeway is a brilliant tune. my favourite bit from that episode is when keith records his answer machine message.

[Howdo]

i'll have to watch it again to find my fav bit as i was pissing myself at it!

[weebrian]

Chris trust me buy the DVDs. You will never get bored and they get funnier and funnier. Series 2 ep 1 is the funniest thing ever. In fact Im going to put it on right now.

[Howdo]

lol, will do mate! think i just need to get used to the chractors more then i'll find it more funny!

[weebrian]

yeah thats exactly what is funny. if you were just to watch one epsiode not knowing you probably wouldnt get it. at first most people cringe at David Brent but the more you watch it the more of a legend you think he is. The characters have been well thought out as well.
