Ricky Gervais is the guy who created and starred in the original British version of the Office. He's also had a part in Alias and the HBO tv show Extras (http://www.imdb.com/name/nm0315041/)
I rather like the song and the singing. He sounds a bit like Bowie. What's interesting is he appears so embarrassed about it when all things considered it's rather good.
More importantly than that, it's not even remotely approaching the direction his career has taken; and in both the Office and Extras he appears to focus on people who can't succeed or won't succeed for on reason or another and the comedy of it.
