Here’s every song used in Ricky Gervais’ ‘Alley Cats’ soundtrack

The Netflix animation series includes classics from The Smiths, Coldplay and Van Halen

Ricky Gervais ‘ Alley Cats has arrived on Netflix , with some big names on the soundtrack. Find every song used in the series below.

Created, written and directed by Gervais, the adult animated sitcom follows a group of foul-mouthed feral cats living together in a derelict London house.

Gervais voices the group’s self-appointed leader Gus, while the cast also includes Tom Basden, Andrew Brooke, David Earl, Diane Morgan, Jo Hartley, Kerry Godliman, Natalie Cassidy and Tony Way.

All six episodes of Alley Cats are available to stream on Netflix now, and you can check out the trailer here:

NME has given the show a one-star review , noting: “Gervais is a self-professed animal lover who has stated that he made this show because “I want everyone to love cats as much as I do”. By that metric, Alley Cats is a failure. And besides a few observations about cats being lazy and selfish, there’s nothing here that will ring enjoyably true for cat owners. This indulgent project feels destined for the litter tray.”

The show has an original score composed by the former Razorlight drummer Andy Burrows , who has previously worked with Gervais on David Brent: Life On The Road and After Life .

In addition, the show includes a number of notable needle drops, from the likes of Coldplay , Cat Stevens , The Smiths and James Taylor .
