Dear Joshua Felix Chan
Performer(s): Rebecca Bunch — First Appearance: ""I'm Back at Camp with Josh!""

Dear Joshua Felix Chan, it's music when I hold your hand, I loved you from the moment that I saw you, you're my hero, I believe in you!

— Rebecca Bunch

Dear Joshua Felix Chan is a love letter composed by a 16 year-old Rebecca Bunch at summer camp which was an ode to her then boyfriend Josh Chan. She never got the chance to give Josh the letter as he broke up with her. It wasn't until a decade later that Rebecca read part of the letter to Josh who was at first amused by it. It was only after he got the chance to read the letter for himself in its entirety that he came to appreciate it. Its first appearance was in the Season One episode "I'm Back at Camp with Josh!".

The song with lyrics

Lyrics: Dear Joshua Felix Chan I remember the moment it began You were playing frisbee shirtless on the field across the lake next to the dumpster and your skin glistened in the sunlight, all your moles a constellation on your chest. Dear Joshua when we frolic I feel like, and not to be hyperbolic I feel like I could die of happiness When I'm nestled in your hairless arms We're like Tristen and Isolde ancient lovers running desperately in the forests. Dear Joshua Felix Chan It's music when I hold your hand I loved you from the moment that I saw you You're my hero, I believe in you There's nothing you can't do You make a difference in the world And you make all the difference in the world to me.

Notes

Trent's reprise

A very brief reprise of "Dear Joshua Felix Chan" is done in the coda of the episode "Josh and I Go to Los Angeles!". This time it is sung by Trent Maddock using the same music and style of the song with lyrics from a love letter he wrote to Rebecca. This version is called "Dear Rebecca Nora Bunch" but Trent only got to sing the title before Rebecca refused to hear more and then closed her apartment door on him. This scene appears to take place just before Rebecca leaves for Los Angeles.
