Remember Darren raving about this song? If like me you wondered why the song seems so familiar (and it does), it could be because you’ve heard it before…

David Brent in The Office (episode 4, season 1) singing Freelove Freeway vs Mika’s We are Golden, via the detective work of Edward Stove:

Here’s the original:

Holy Moly thinks it’s got some Heaven is a Place on Earth by Belinda Carlisle and Jason Donovan’s ‘Too Many Broken Hearts‘ in there too. What do you reckon?

    Through my own detective work, I’ve found out that Edward Stove is repeating what people said back in July: http://www.popjustice.com/forum/index.php?topic=17409.30

    I’m sorry but these things upset me for some reason.

    I saw it, good to have Wossy back. I think Edward Stove made it for the show.
