Don't You Wish Yr Boyfriend was a Geek Like Me

[ODH]

So this song has been working up in my head for nearly a year, and I finally succeded in getting on tape.

It's an original song kind of in reply to the Pussycat Dolls song with the similar title.

It also marks a new stage in my schizophrenia in that now I have names for my band mates.

I like it!
And I'm not into rap at all....
But, this is fun, like something Frank Zappa might have done.

Lyrics...

Girl.
Ever since I met you, I've been slightly obsessed
I need to write this down so that my views are expressed
But nothing that I've done so far has made you impressed
Don't even think you've noticed me, which makes me depressed
[especially since I'd really like to see you undressed]

Now love is not a subject that I usually discuss
I asked for some advice from my friends Martin and Russ
They just called me a fag and they laughed at me and thus
I found out that there was not a clue amongst any of us

   My mom says that nobody is sweet like me
   And no-one can command the starship fleet like me
   So, don't you wish you boyfried was a geek like me?

I remember when first I met you, had a message to tell
Couln't say it to your face; I wrote in HTML
I hacked into your laptop and your parents as well
But I failed to account for the settings of my Unix shell

I tried to serenade you but my playing skills were failin'
I tried to learn to play guitar like Eddie Van Halen
I thought it would be easy, but I found it really tough
And I gave up completely when I found out that you hated all that stuff

   I rock a sci-fi t-shirt, I have uh two or three
   So I always dress real-cool, as I think you'll agree
   So, don't you wish you boyfried was a geek like me?

That time when I was en route to the Star Trek convention
I shouted out your name to try to 'ttract your attention
With my Spock ears and my outfit I should probably mention
If I caused you some embarrasment that was not my intention

I couldn't write a poem, quoted my favorite band
And Joy Division lyrics were something I could understand
I said she's Lost Control and Love would tear us apart
In hindsight, maybe that was not such a good place to start

   On the school team, there's no other mathlete like me
   And no-one can programme a hip-hop beat like me
   So, don't you wish you boyfried was a geek like me?
 
I really wanted to speak to you but couldn't face to face
I sent my avatar to track you down in Cyberspace
In Second Life I met a girl - we nearly started dating
Till I found out it was some creepy old guy masquerading

I'm not a cool dude, I'm not a stoner or jock
My taste in music tends more towards eighties rock
And when it comes to girls I have a ... mental block
But I really hope you like me, cause I like you a lot

   If you get a sample you get a little for free
   The point I'm trying to make is try a sample of me
   So, don't you wish you boyfried was a geek like me?
 
In some respects it may seem that I don't have a clue
And in many ways I must admit that's probably true
The only thing I know for sure is I feel strongly about you
And plus I secretly believe that you're a geek too.

[Hey! Hey! Hey!]

[Hook]

Very well done. I love your phrasing and that great guitar riff/quote.
Rock on!

Haven't had time to get on the site at all recently and haven't had time to listen to this yet but I read the lyrics and they are brilliant, had me rolling round the floor. Wonderful stuff, can't wait to listen to the track!!!

Cheers,

Nigel

[Ferryman_1957]

Listened to it now, cracked me up all the way through and I love the laid back, subtle arrangement. It's great when the instruments keep coming in and dropping out, brilliant heavy guitar and I love the ending. Very, very good and great fun!!!

Cheers,

Nigel

Clever tune, love what you did here! So many cool aspects, it would tough to list them all. I especially liked the VH sprinkles and the various bass & guitar chugs.

Solid!!!
