about
Errol first wrote this song for his wife with the help of Twitter and Wayne, Dominic, Don, Marty, Lindsey, Eugene, Michelle, Carina, Nelson, Ellen, Andrew, Sen, Jenny, Laura, Ben, Ryan, Sara, Ally and Abby!
He uploaded a vid of himself to Youtube on January 13, 2009. Some of his pronunciation was incorrect, so he corrected it and re-uploaded to a few days later, patching the vid to 1.1.
Realizing he had the incorrect language for Italian, but the correct language for Spanish, he patched the song to 1.2.
His youngest, Zoe, had learned the song by memory, and so he uploaded another video with her later in October. Errol changed the song to make it less creepy and it became version 1.3.
And now Geek Love Song is in it’s final incarnation, (hopefully) with Debs.
In 2012, Errol submitted it to a Valentine’s Day contest on CBC Radio, and it won 3rd place. It was the first time (but hopefully not last) Debs & Errol has been on the radio!

lyrics
So many ways to say “I Love You”
In different languages across the land.
You haven’t heard them all so I’ll tell you
As only a true geek can.
“Ich Liebe Dich” is German geeky for their boardgames
In Latin (and Spanish) it is “Te amo”
“mi olin e sina” is the phrase in Toki Pona,
“Mi amas vin” in Esperanto
“Linnon am meleth vin”
In Sindarin means “I sing because I love you”
“AG EE OO P” is what you type.
For Alliance and the Horde to talk to.
To stick with Elvish we have “Tye mela’ne”
Yet another language that Tolkien made.
“Usstan ssinssrigg ilta” spoken in Drowish
A DnD type of elf you played.
“I Love You, I would date with you”, by Tatewaki Kuno
Not a different language, but it’s good enough
“hato daisuki” is japanese but geeky cuz
Otaku really love their weird stuff.
“Eep Op Ork Ah Ah”‘
From saturday morning cartoons
“Ie ovele ouye” too,
From way back when I was in grade 2.
“Wani ra yana ro aisha” in Vulcan
In Klingon it’s “qaparHa” which sorta sounds like a threat
“I-jol au” is Romulan but not exactly canon
In case we make the fanboys upset.
“Ni kar’tayli gar darasuum” is Mandalorian
In another galaxy, long gone by
If you speak in Huttese you say “Uma ji muna”
On Dagobah it’s, “Love you, do I”
’10 Print “I love you” 20 Goto 10′
My first program, as a child
‘I->love(you)’
I bet your hormones are going wild.
“U CAN HAZ LUV, K THX BAI!”
I display LOLCat finery.
“I Less Than Three U” and….
0110100101101100011011110111011001100101011110010110111101110101
I love you in binary!
Spoken: Lowercase. Without Spaces.
In different languages across the land.
You haven’t heard them all so I’ll tell you
As only a true geek can.
