If you know who Ricky Gervais is, and if you are a child of the 80's, then you're in for a HUGE shock. If you haven't heard yet, that is.
Anyway, Ricky Gervais is this British comedian who co-created, co-wrote and starred in the popular TV series THE OFFICE, currently being translated into American by the 40-Year Old Virgin.
Ricky is now starring in this hilarious new series which he also co-created and co-wrote called THE EXTRAS, about the life and times of 2 extras on a film set as they encounter popular people like Patrick Stewart, Samuel Jackson and Ben Stiller. The new season about to start shooting will star people like Harry Potter's Daniel Radcliffe.
Apparently, Ricky Gervais was the lead singer of an 80's New Wave duo, who came up with a few songs, which all flopped in their native UK. The group dissolved soon after.
Well, a couple of years later, one of their songs got played on a Philippine radio station, and it became a huge HIT! As in HUGE HUGE HIT. So popular was this song that it's still being played today in radios and in clubs. The Philippines was the one and only place that this group, and this song, had any sort of popularity.
Allright then, what was the group and what was the song? Check this out!!

I don't believe it! I can't. Are you sure? I mean... I know that you are. But... OK, I'm stammering as I type (if that makes any sense). But... I can't seem to connect the two (Mr. The Office and Seona Dancing).
I loved More to Lose. I learned to play the damn intro on the piano (sneaking it after my formal piano lessons, blech). Thanks for posting this/finding this. I don't care if it flopped in the UK. That song was one of my favorite pop-New Wave songs ever.
Yeah! Hey, sorry I only saw this post now. I don't visit Multiply all that much so I don't get to see the replies. he.he. Thanks for the response! It's always nice to see a fellow Seona Dancing fan!
