In the show[]
The song has nothing to do with any character(s) in the series, or any of the events in the episode. According to TheSlap, Cat makes the following statement about it:
"Live from the Hollywood Arts PROME, it's Tori's new song! And even though I'm her BFF, she's NOT singing about MY brother cuz my brother's weird."
During Prom Wrecker, Tori is forced to deal with Jade after planning the prom the same day she was supposed to have her play. Jade loses her battle with Tori after the prom king and queen were announced and performed the song even when the night started to rain.
Lyrics[]
Verse 1
I call you up when I know he's at home I jump out of my skin when he picks up the phone
Why can I tell if he's lookin' at me?
Should I give him a smile?
Should I get up and leave?
Pre-Chorus
I know it's strange, I don't know what I'm thinkin'
But is it wrong if I see him this weekend?
I really hope I can get him alone
I just don't, don't want her to know
Chorus
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah-eh
My best friend's brother is the one for me
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah-eh
A punk rock drummer and he's six-foot three
I don't want to but I want to
'Cause I just can't get him out of mind and...
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah-eh
My best friend's brother is the one for me
B-F-B (Oh), B-F-B (Hey)
My best friend's brother, my best friend's brother
Verse 2
I try to think that I might be his type
'Cause when you're not around, he's not acting too shy
Sometimes I feel like he might make a move
Is this all in my head?
I don't know what to do
Pre-Chorus
I know it's strange, I don't know what he's thinking
But it is wrong if I see him this weekend
I really hope I can get him alone
I just don't, don't want her to know
Chorus
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah-eh
My best friend's brother is the one for me
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah-eh
A punk rock drummer and he's six-foot three
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah-eh
I don't want to but I want to
'Cause I just can't get him out of mind and...
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah-eh
My best friend's brother is the one for me
B-F-B (Oh), B-F-B (Hey)
My best friend's brother, my best friend's brother
B-F-B (Oh), B-F-B (Hey)
My best friend's brother, my best friend's brother
Bridge
Cause he's such a dream
And you'd know what I mean
If you weren't related
Chorus
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah-eh
MY best friend's brother is the one for me
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah-eh
A punk rock drummer and he's six-foot three
I don't want to, but I want to
'Cause I just can't get him out of mind and...
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah-eh
My best friend's brother is the one for me
B-F-B (Oh), B-F-B (Hey)
