Tonight I'm Frakking You

Matthew Brian Brown's song 'Tonight I'm Frakking You' is a playful and humorous ode to geek culture, filled with references to beloved sci-fi and fantasy franchises. The song's title itself is a nod to the term 'frak,' a euphemism from the TV series 'Battlestar Galactica,' which sets the tone for the rest of the lyrics. Brown cleverly weaves together a tapestry of pop culture references, creating a narrative that celebrates the shared interests and passions of a geeky couple.

The lyrics are packed with references to iconic characters and series, from 'Star Wars' and 'Star Trek' to 'Doctor Who' and 'The Big Bang Theory.' Lines like 'I'm like Kenobi / Seeking passage to Alderaan with you' and 'We'll watch Big Bang Theory / As you ride my TARDIS and call me Doctor Who' highlight the couple's mutual love for these franchises. The song also touches on the emotional connections fans have with these series, such as the line 'Dollhouse's cancellation / Hurt like Luke's amputation,' which conveys the pain of losing a beloved show.

Brown's use of metaphors and wordplay adds a layer of humor and creativity to the song. Phrases like 'My Spidey sense says I'd shoot my web all on you' and 'You've set my phasers to stun / Cause your Sarlaac Pit's / Got more spice in it / Than the planet Dune' are both cheeky and clever, showcasing his ability to blend romance with geeky references. The song ultimately celebrates the joy of finding someone who shares your passions and the fun of exploring those interests together, making it a delightful anthem for geeky love.
