Ricky Gervais: The Hidden Musical Past You Never Knew About

It's tough to picture Ricky Gervais as anything other than what he is today: a middle-aged, thoroughly unsentimental Brit who makes “politically incorrect” jokes just for the fun of offending people. So it’ll come as a surprise to many that before The Office made him an international star, Gervais was once a pop singer who used to don eyeshadow and rock a mullet while singing songs of heartache and hope.
Even though Gervais' music career was short-lived and largely forgotten, it still managed to leave a lasting impact on the youth culture of the Philippines. The success of "More to Lose" in Manila serves as a reminder that sometimes, art can travel beyond borders and touch the hearts of people in unexpected ways.

I'm a huge Ricky Gervais fan, even more so now.

[@RampartPh]

gervaise's seona dancing was so big in the Philippines back in the day. but the word big is an understatement in this case.

[@Myhartradio]

Yes More to loose by Seina Dancing will always be one of my favoriete New Wave songs of the 80’s Greetings from The Philippines! 🇵🇭

[@CruelaDeville]

This is worth sharing- 80’s defines MJ, Cyndi Lauper and Madonna and our new wave national anthem- MORE TO LOSE!!!
You play that single once again and trust me, high-end metro MANILA bars will explode again with fun memories and new wave dancing! Will forever be fan of Seona Dancing duo!!! 🫶🏽

[@mironlang]

Exactly today ko lang nalaman na si Ricky Gervais pala vocalist ng Seona Dancing. What can I say... Its awesome!! .. lol

[@vegetathe4th376]

In the Philippines we like new wave music I was wondering why in different countries they never heard and requested a new wave song 😢

[@christinem1458]

I was listening to The Cure, Bauhaus, Siouxsie and the Banshees, and Sisters of Mercy in college. My mom introduced me to Seona Dancing's More to Lose. I was bummed when I found out they only had a few songs. I really enjoy the songs they released

[@rmtagasa]

Yup. Gen X would know and love More to Lose. I still have the lyrics of both their songs in my head. Even now it's a must have in New Wave Spotify playlists.

I love how at the beginning you mention physical by Olivia Newton John as if that song had been the most listened to in the UK, friend, stop basing everything on the US. in the UK in the 80s you heard all kinds of music and in 1981 what was topping the charts was ADAM & THE ANTS!!!

[@samanthamacauley2084]

i’m happy he decided to become a comedian

[@sergiosbaglia]
