it's what it's all aboot

I don't watch a lot of TV, but my kids love this show How I Met Your Mother, so I watched it with them this week.

I enjoyed it, and will watch it again, but I don't know if any future episodes can match what they pulled off this week with this music video:



I guess one of the characters was a Canadian pop star in the 90s (everyone is dressed like the 80s in this video because, according to her, "the 80s didn't make it to Canada until the 90s") but was trying to hide it from the rest of her friends, for reasons which were obvious when they watched the video.

If you're of a certain age, I think you're going to love this video. Robin Sparkles is the perfect blend of Tiffany and Debbie Gibson, and every gag in the video, from the lyrics to the choreography and photography, is a pitch-perfect parody of and homage to that 80s pop scene.
