Robin Sparkles Returns

On the April 21st episode of How I Met Your Mother, we get to experience the B-side to Robin's smash hit (in Canada) "Let's Go to the Mall" in a little ditty called "Sandcastles in the Sand".

If you can't wait until then, here are links to the song and for a one-minute preview of the video of Robin (with James Van Der Beek, Alan Thicke, and Tiffany for spice).

As TV Guide's Mickey O' Connor said, the "song is made of crack cocaine". Be careful-- because it'll be in your head for days.
