How I Met Your Mother star Cobie Smulders brings back Robin Sparkles for lockdown song
How I Met Your Mother's Cobie Smulders has brought back Robin Sparkles for a special lockdown song.
As fans of the hit sitcom know, Robin Sparkles is the alter ego of Smulders' character Robin Scherbatsky, from her time as a Canadian pop singer.
Now, the actress has brought back the persona to sing a lockdown-themed version of her song 'Let's Go To The Mall'.
Renaming it 'Let's All Stay At Home', the new version of the song features lyrics such as "I have to go to Zoom school soon, at least until we're all immune" and "Dad says I'm too young to date, guidelines say we have to wait".
Alongside the video of her singing and playing the piano, she added the caption: "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."
The actress finished by kindly asking those who are able to donate to three of her chosen charities – Save The Children, Canada Helps and Daily Bread Food Bank.
Last week, Smulders defended How I Met Your Mother's controversial ending, which saw Robin marry Barney (Neil Patrick Harris), only to later get divorced and end up back with Ted (Josh Radnor) after his children's mother died from cancer.
While fans were disappointed to see Robin and Barney split up, the actress argued that Ted and Robin were the show's true love story the whole time.
