The Big Bang Theory is one of my favorite TV shows. I can always count on it to make me laugh out loud literally. But a few weeks ago, they had an episode that made me tear up, not from laughter, but from being touched. This was when Howard decided to celebrate the anniversary of his first date with his wife Bernadette by composing a song for her. You can watch it below.
Here are the lyrics transcribed by Popwatch:
a dot without the com
without any string
I’d be binary code without a one,
So nerdy and funny yet sweet, right?
I teared up at “I couldn’t have imagined how good my life would get” part (where Bernadette tears up too) because it’s so true.
When my team mate H and I talked about that episode, I said I really loved the song and that we should come up with one for his wife.
After a while, I said, “You know what? This is the worst song EVER.”
But speaking of H, he has a nice love story too, by the way.
He had a gal pal, let’s call her D, who met another girl, M, and they became instant friends. She told H that he and M had the same personality and would be perfect together, so they should meet. H didn’t like being set up, so he declined even though D was very insistent.
One day, D dropped by H’s place just to hang out. Suddenly, she said, “Oh gosh, I forgot that I was meeting M! She’s on her way to fetch me here now. Can you be a dear and accompany me downstairs to meet her?”
But D was right – H and M did hit it off. When she flew back to Australia some weeks later, he flew out there to visit her. He was smitten. They got married last June.
And to think it never would have happened if not for a meddling friend! Haha. Maybe that’s what we should put into the song instead of weird hedge fund jargon, huh? 😀

Is this from the new season? I just started watching the series last month with my hubby and we loved it! We're onto season 6 now. 😀

Cute story about how your friend's met. Adorable. I liked this song a lot (although yours was definitely lacking sooooomething!), it's funny how relationships can make you develop as a person.
Kate Hall says
I jus watched this episode last week and I love your take on it! Howard's life and overall awesome level definitely increased after Bernadette!

Are you this secret matchmaker 😉 x

I have an on-again-off-again relationship with Big Bang, but this song is sweet in it's own stupid way. =) And you're "real-life" story is very cute.
Lydia Anderson says
I just watched this episode today… So adorable! I teared up at that song too…

I haven't watched Big Bang Theory in AGES but my goodness, this was the cuteness thing ever. Especially when he said "I'd be Doctor Who without the TARDIS", I squealed because that's my favourite show, haha.<br /><br /><br />I think I need a meddling friend like that!<br /><br /><br />http://theinvisiblechild.info

Such a cute song! It is funny when we look back on our lives at the experiences that got us to where we are. And to who we're with 🙂
Dee says
Super cute! 🙂
Dee says
Yes it's from the latest season. I really love the show too! I wouldn't mind watching them all again.
Dee says
I know, right, so adorable! My song was lacking everything, actually. LOL.
Dee says
Yes, he's a completely different Howard from season 1! This Howard I can imagine hanging out with in real life now. The old Howard I would have avoided like the plague.
Dee says
Haha no, I should have used a different letter! But this story definitely made me think about which friends I can match up!
Dee says
Glad you liked the song and the real life story. 🙂
Dee says
Yay I'm not the only one!
Dee says
Ooh, so have you seen the Doctor Who anniversary episode? I keep on reading about that. I like Doctor Who, but I've only seen a few episodes. It's Moffat's other show Sherlock that I'm a huge fan of.<br /><br /><br />I need a meddling friend like that too!
Dee says
Indeed, if you look back in time at how you used to be then, you really can say that you couldn't have imagined how your life would change from the moment you met certain people. 🙂
chynnashley says
It's on next Saturday 🙂 I'm pretty damn excited about it, as well. <br />Oh, god – Sherlock is absolutely AH-MAZING. Love that show!
