Gervais to sing sitcom theme tune

Ricky Gervais will sing the theme song to new sitcom Toyboize, according to WENN.

The online comedy will focus on a boyband trying to make a comeback. Gervais's former Office co-stars Jamie Deeks and Ewen MacIntosh are writing and starring in the show.

Gervais insisted that his experience in the '80s new wave duo Seona Dancing made him the ideal choice to record the track.

"I thought the idea of the show was really funny and as a failed popstar myself, I jumped at the chance of writing a bad song," he said.
