Daily Dose of Joy: The HIMYM Team Updates Robin Sparkles’ ‘Let’s Go to the Mall’

[This is part of our ongoing series. We all need joy right now. Here’s hoping this helps.]

More than 13 years after HOW I MET YOUR MOTHER introduced its fans to Robin Sparkles, Robin Scherbatsky’s pop star persona, Cobie Smulders revived her alter ego’s alter ego…with a very 2020 twist.

In the video, posted to Smulders’ instagram, she sang a new, COVID-19-inspired version of “Let’s Go to the Mall,” as she sang about staying at home. (The lyrics were penned by HIMYM creators Craig Thomas and Carter Bays.) And even better? It was done to support charities Save the Children, Daily Bread, and Canada Helps.

Watch the very fitting video!

Welp. Here it is. I hope it takes your mind off some things. It certainly did for me! A huge thank you to Craig Thomas and Carter Bays for the new lyrics. And to Brian Kim, who helped compose this song originally. He wrote this new piano version and then rewrote it when it was too challenging for me. It was a wonderful journey down memory lane. If you are able and willing please donate to the following charities. There are links in my Stories. @savethechildren @canadahelps @dailybreadTO Thank you to @20thcenfoxtv #himym #robinsparkles #letsallstayathome
