  • basta nag youtube, di pwedeng di maghanap ng ng 80's new wave. kakamiz, ibang level ka nun pag new waver ka...

  • I was the only kid listening to New Wave back in kinder. Along with Voltes V :]

  • ONE OF THE BEST SONGS I EVER LOVED- NEW WAVE NEVER DIES

  • 80's Music will never die. !!!!

  • i was time machined back to the 80s'. xb.

  • I've sung this about a dozen times on Karaoke in the Philippines, best thing Gervais ever did by a mile.

  • RICKY GERVAIS!!!

  • alive again

  • wonder what that lesbian in the suit is doing now.

  • @bensimps123 He became an actor named Ricky Gervais lol

  • Miss this song.... Recto, bootleg new wave collection, nizzle and dazzle, creepers, cardigan etc., those were the days!

  • Manila is one of the FEW places where this song was a hit. RG said that Manilans have great taste in Music. :)

  • ricki gervais omfg

  • New Wave reminds me of endless parties,bar hopping in greenhills and makati, at syempre DRAG RACING... Yeah.....

  • new wave forever,,,,,,,,,,,,,,

    

  • "You two look like a couple of prats!"

  • this is a great tune - although never made it in the day,  I guess RG never mentions it cos he isn 't getting copyrights from it - which is fair enough.

  • Ricky Gervais Rules!!!

  • I demand the 16 track demo tape be released. Can you imagine how amazing it would be?

  • @KittiMitties I know! Apparently he still has it. His music is so great to listen to. Lord knows what treasures are recorded on that tape

  • This song kicks butts all nowadays "pop hits"!

  • There really is no end to Ricky's talents, is there?

  • the dude on the left looks like he belongs in Final Fantasy...lol :D

  • Wow!!! 4 sore losers who does not know music is watched this vid. Now They know what good music means

  • I don't give a fuck what others say all i know is this song kicks ass, new wave songs are the best

  • Brentmeister General <3

  • look up ricky gervais now - he's actually become a successful comedian

  • @martinmerrywinkle really??????

  • Is it wrong that I really quite like it...?

  • @Eveoman Of course not--this is amazing!

  • New Wave Rules!!! :-)

  • Why the tears? Because none of them was you!

  • hahahahahahhahahaha rickys funny even when he dont mean to be!

  • this is kinda allright,not as good as Freelove Freeway by the Brentmeister though

  • XB102

  • "You look like a couple of prats!" :)

  • @RazzleDazzle333 Bill: "Is that an offense?"

  • @RazzleDazzle333 "Is that an offense?" :))

  • @RazzleDazzle333 lol perfect comment

  • wonder why it was so big in phillipines. so strange.

  • @moewishaw What is with the question? Is that an insult?

  • @Supersweetguy No, its just odd for asian countries back then being so into 80's music from obscure British New Wave music

  • Huge Hit in the Philippines

  • To Tropang Remix of TANETS

  • His right hand is on his own leg!!!!

  • Why wasn't this a hit????

  • @mrfitness2008 Yes, it was a hit in the Philippines, etc.

  • @mrfitness2008 This was not a hit maybe because some record company this it was not enough to become one.

  • @Supersweetguy

    Well it would have been a success,maybe it seemed too camp?

  • @mrfitness2008 Well, maybe the record producers never had the vision to see this as a hit.

  • @Supersweetguy

    true,it was all stock aitken and waterman back then.

  • So good. We need a Seona re-union. She hasn't danced in ages

  • @22ndWave That was such a beautiful way of putting it<3

  • one of my favorite new wave music back in the daze...8

  • simply amzing!

  • Lets turn back the clock.

  • Funny how everyone talks about ricky but nobody ever talks about the guy on the left? Who is he!, Bill macrea is that hes real name...?? Who wrote the music?

  • Actually this is pretty decent, I'd have bought it in the 80s, wish i'd heard of them back then.

  • Jeez! Somewhere between David Bowie and Tokio Hotel...

  • AMAZING!!! I am 16 years old and love Ricky as a comedian now-a-days, i came accross this video while watching a stand-up gig of his! And i'm glad i did find it because i just fancy the pants off of him now HAHAHA!

  • this song makes me feel like im back in the 80's

    New Wave is still the coolest music !!!

  • the guy one the left has crazy hair

  • This is brilliant.

    Ricky should be proud of this! Great arrangements,good lyrics,sang fantastically,really cool tune.

    If i had known about this gem back in the day it would have defo been in my collection.

    Cant stop playin it! Brill!

  • @AndyPandemonium69 - I hope you're being sarcastic. Amateurish over-production, vocals drenched in echo to make them undecipherable, naive lyrics and not a melodic hook in sight, strange (and long) instrumental sections (like that aggressive piano thing and that weird glockenspiel...lol).

  • Ricky Gervais- SEona Dancing!! THis is really cool! Batang Manda din ako!!!! Ngayon sa Singapore!!! Yehey WXB 102.7 FM listener too!

  • i grew up with this song. love it more than anything.i just didn't know that the lyrics are really intended for me. thanks anyways

  • This is pretty far from Brent's MC Hammer-impersonation haha :D

  • one of my favorite.80's the best...

  • @samranivra Your very right surely this is one of my all time top 20 out of all the new wave songs.

    One thing about new waves songs then is that their lyrics are crafted based on emotions, there's a great deal of poetry. Unlike song today that they squeezed in words because they rhyme..much so they invent words. NEWAVER till the end.

  • he was fucking good looking....

  • This isn't half bad...

  • Karl Pilkington was probably body popping around salford at this time

  • @JohnPurchaseArt Nope, just riding his bike around in circles and getting in boxing matches :P

    And probably still talking bollocks, because ignorance of that magnitude is born, not made xD

  • @JohnPurchaseArt I doubt it, Karl doesnt like fun

  • Tokyo Hotel got it's inspiration from RIcky Gervais...who would have guessed? lol

  • Ricky-oh

  • if you guys have facebook account..u can check the page of wxb 102 there...see you all guys there!!!

  • Woah...ricky gervais was cute???

  • this is a great song.is there an end to rickys talents!!

  • He wouldn't mind me saying this.... thats very gay! :) haha joking aside, you obviously had something inside you... OOH pardon! - but really... i wonder what you did after the band faded away... 30 somethings, 1990's... relationship or smashed on E? maybe a career in music...slips over to TV and bingo, nice1 Ricky

  • @pcvideogamer lol!!

  • This is a bloody good tune - a bit Soft Cell / ABC in sound ? Don't know why he's embarrassed looking back at these videos - this was the coolest look in 83 !! David Bowie meets Steve Strange ? It was the crap name that let them down ! Eh - it never stopped Kajagoogoo or Wet Wet Wet though (regretfully).

  • @Andycap68 @Andycap68 you're so right about the look. Pretty much everyone is embarrassed when they see the early 80's versions of themselves, it just so happens that Ricky's is spread over the tele rather than just when families are forced to look at a photo album at christmas.

  • Brian Clough + Boy George = Young Ricky Gervais

  • You know. This is actually pretty good.

  • Holy crap! THAT WAS RICKY GERVAIS???? :oO

  • san kaya makabibili ng 12" nito??? anyone pls!!!!!!

  • omg im hyperventilating!!!!!! this is a great remix of the song! More to Lose is one of the many reasons i have an affinity with music from the 80s.

  • Wow, it is Gervais? I was wondering that same thing.

  • i really like this song it bring back the momorize of my teeager dayz and my freinds in high school....

  • needs more reverb on that snare

    and bigger shoulder pads

  • I don't know how Ricky and Billy didnt make it big with these songs. Seona Dancing were a good band

  • This is a really good song =] Go Seona Dancing!

  • I love Ricky's hair in this picture. If only guys nowadays had hair like that.

  • 99.5 dwrt was the first radio station who played and made popular of this song assholes

  • Actually I think you'll find it was Pantiles Night Club in Bagshot that made this song popular. This was the place that RG did his promo and since I was his roomie at UCL in our first year and the owner and founder of The SD Club I think your 'asshole comment' is way, way off the mark . Best, if you don't know what you are talking about, to shut the fuck up !

  • hey motherfucker i'm commenting on other people's posting specifically the ones in PI.

  • i really love this song...... the beat of the music is so nice.........

  • This is the remix of the original 12" of More to Lose. This was remixed by a filipino DJ for a bootleg remixes collection cd. Notice the different intro and the additional keyboard background near the intro.

  • i can never get my head around the fact that Ricky had a whole 38 years prior to the office. Like, i always considered Steve and Karl and Ricky to be of the same age. Its freaky how he was busy being a popstar when Steve was 8 and Karl was 10. That's actually mad.

  • a longtime favourite of mine. part of me wishes seona would have released more music, it was fantastic. but, i take the fall because it gave us ricky as we know him today...love ricky, love seona.

  • I cannot believe that's Ricky Gervais!!!!!!!

    I love that guy, the comic he is now!

  • still kept his haircut

  • holy shit Ricky Gervais is thin...and wearing a pound of makeup......and it looks like his left hand is in the other guys lap......

  • @number1juggalo666 As Ricky said in an interview, he only got so fat because he ate the other guy. :)

  • @number1juggalo666 his right hand....

  • @number1juggalo666 HAHAHAHAHA :D

  • @number1juggalo666 it's his right hand... how the fuck did ur comment not get trolled down? lol. it got upvoted? I'm voting it down. lol. OH fuck i just accidentally upvoted it. hahaha

  • so cool

  • I'm having trouble finding this version and the 7'' one... anybody know where I can get them or any of the B side stuff?x

  • @rdgloveshouse You can the 7' single here in the Philippines.

  • @Supersweetguy =\ too bad I live in Canada I guess...

  • @rdgloveshouse You can order the 7 inch, and the 12 inch singe at ebay. It's there. May I suggest that you can also buy the New Wave Essentials, 17 rare tracks that are hard to find.

  • @Supersweetguy oh that's amazing.... would you mind sending me links? =)

  • @rdgloveshouse Sure I will be sending the links. :-)

  • @Supersweetguy k thanks =)

  • @rdgloveshouse I might be sending the mp3 of the cd i have mentioned. Do you have an email address which i can send to?

  • @Supersweetguy oh that would be amazing =)

  • Thank fuck the eighies are over.

  • 69marius!! u must be a deaf twat !!.... this is a great track!!

  • Amen Brother! .....as far as 69marius is concerned he's got as much music talent as a hippo with its nuts in an ever tightening vice

    ;0)

  • Ohhh! Chimpanzee that, the cuuuunnnnt.

  • Never mind the music. Look at their fucking haircuts.

  • haha, the sustain on the piano is a killer :-)

  • Comment removed

  • the band was called 'RP" or "RP Band", off the LP "Street Legal" and the song is called 'Run", it can be found online with a search on google.

  • lol @ the iron on the left

  • The keyboard play in this song alone would want you to fall down in tears. Saan mo napulot ang audio na 'to? Ang lupit!!

  • brings back all those wonderful memories from the phils. from vancouver with love! mwah!

  • this is my favorite music ever!!!! expect the worse, prepare for it!

  • Dave Bowie meets ABC meets The Associates meets Human League..... Terrif New Romantics if ever there was ....like SD.

    Such versility RG! Great song brings back so many mems of Pantiles in Bagshot .

    So this is for you Caroline Hun!

  • mandaluyong boy, i like your music selections....brings back a lot of happy memories. more power to you! keep on uploading.

  • So 80s, so good. Sounds much like James. This track should be re-mixed and re-released. Love it.

  • I was just thinking the same :p I love James im seeing them once again in april!!! Woooo!

  • Lucky lucky you. Where are they playing?

  • Loads of places :) i am seeing them in bristol though :)

  • this tune is MASSIVE!

  • he makes a good lesbian doesnt he

    id pay to see him with the make up on now.

    the 80s wer just embarrasing for pretty much everyone involved

  • this guy is in a new movie, invention of lies. he looks sooo old now.

  • yah he also create the office and is one of the best and most famous comedians of all time

  • oooo shit that do look, like polly shore an some random lesbian

  • @oldfryrice What do you think? Everybody grows old.

  • elbow toe tap elbow toe tap elbow toe tap elbow toe tap elbow toe tap elbow toe tap:)

  • Loving the haircuts

  • I'm sorry, but it looks like Pauly Shore and some random lesbian.  I know that's Ricky Gervais, but still!

  • yeah. this is really GOOD 80s new romantics stuff!!!

    thankfully there were thousands of these types of bands back then, so when Ricky Gervais' music career didn't pan out, he ended up giving us the genius works THE OFFICE, EXTRAS, XFM Radio Shows, etc and etc!!!

  • I actually really like this song

  • lol It's actually a good song. I would have never of guessed!

  • Yes !!! Gee both of them !!

  • Excellent song! Ricky Gervais is damn talented.

  • YOU TUBE TIME MACHINE

  • Better than Bowie!

  • erm no.

  • Actually i'm surprised how good this is. Bit long though and it's had about three endings :)

  • ricky was so beautiful back then

  • all day long with this song in loop.

  • A ver amigos. Por mucho tiempo esperaba encontrar gente que gustara del buen NEW WAVE y eso me alegra. Saludos desde Perú.

  • If anyone can find the promo video for this, you will have made my year!

    Re - the picture in the video, is it taken in Bloomsbury?

  • the best..pero new wave killer.

  • guys, panoorin ninyo yung "Ghost Town" starring Ricky Gervais. Kakatawa at gandang pang date movie/home movie kasama syota nyo : )!

  • the other guy is probley kicking himself at how famous rick got

  • he can at least be comforted in the knowledge that Ricky got famous by becoming a comedian instead of pop star. Imagine how much worse he would feel if solo ricky went on to become a super-famous solo artist? Plus McRae will be gettin a few royalties whenever they dig out these old clips to embarrass Ricky : )

  • I can respect the keyboard work here, good stuff, too bad Karl was up in Manchester at the time doing nothing

  • LOL. classic pilkington reference. well played.

  • Cant believe its ricky here. I love seona dancing back on the 80's that was when i was in the philippines.
