The Big Picture - Macro Perspective on the Capital Markets, Economy, Technology, and Digital Media

I have been loving original British version of The Office with Ricky Gervais.

Its been on Cartoon Network Friday nights at midnight.

What makes this so surprising is that it s actually a good song, out of place in the absurdist comedy:

This is the full uncut version of the classic ‘Freelove Freeway’ that David Brent (Ricky Gervais) sung during Series 1 Episode 4

Here is the original studio version:

• David Brent/Ricky Gervais – Freelove Freeway

Lyrics and alternative video versions after the jump . . .

• Guitar composition(BBC)

• Lyrics:

Pretty girl on the hood of a Cadilac, yeah….
Shes broken down on freeway nine.
I take a look and her engines started,
I leave her purring and I roll on by….bye bye

Free love on the free love freeway,
The love is free and the freeways long…
I got some hot love on the hot-love freeway
I aint going home cos my babys gone
A little while later, see a senorita,
Shes caught a flat trying to make it home,
She says “Por favor, can you pump me up?”
I say “Muchos gracias, adios. Bye Bye.”

Free love on the freelove freeway,
The love is free and the freeways long
I got some hot love on the hotlove highway,
Ain’t going home cause my baby’s gone.

Little while later I see a cowboy crying,
“Hey buddy, what can I do?”
He says “I lived a good life, had about a thousand women.”
I said “Why the tears?”, he says “cause none of them was you.”
Free love on the free love freeway,
where the love is free and the freeway is long…
I got some hot love on the hot-love freeway
I aint going home cos my babys gone
