If I Didn't Have You (Bernadette's Song) Posted October 25, 2013

Howard's romantic song for Bernadette from last night's episode of The Big Bang Theory can now be bought for download from iTunes and Amazon.com in the United States. The song has been released in support of the charity MusiCares. The song is not yet available to download internationally.

In the episode "The Romance Resonance", Howard planned a romantic gesture for Bernadette to celebrate the anniversary of his first date with her. The plan was almost scuppered when Bernadette ended up in quarantine, but Howard and the rest of the gang still managed to perform the song for her. Watch the performance again below:

The new and original song, entitled "If I Didn't Have You (Bernadette's Song)", was written by comedian singer-songwriters Kate Micucci and Riki Lindhome. Both have appeared on The Big Bang Theory with Micucci playing the recurring role of Lucy, Raj's shy ex-girlfriend, and Lindhome appearing in the second season as Ramona Nowitzki, a grad student who becomes infatuated with Sheldon. The pair make up the comedy folk duo of Garfunkel and Oates. Kate Mucucci is scheduled to reprise her role as Lucy an episode of The Big Bang Theory next month.
