Gallagher and Gervais collaboration

Oasis rocker Noel Gallagher is thrilled British comic Ricky Gervais has asked him to record a comedy version of Freelove Freeway for the Christmas special of TV satire The Office.

The Wonderwall star, 37, provides backing vocals for the song Gervais wrote for the show's egotistical star David Brent, and stars as a corny rocker in The Office Yuletide DVD, out on 25 October.
