10 Best Musical Numbers In How I Met Your Mother

10. Sandcastles In The Sand

Towards the end of Season 3, having already learned about some of Robin’s life back in Canada – including her music career – we meet her ex-boyfriend Simon Tremblay. It is through his introduction that we learn of the second Robin Sparkles music video – one which Barney strives to find.

This ballad may lack some of the more upbeat and humorous nature of the show’s other music, but it is incredibly catchy none the less! The lyrics are overly dramatised and it is to great comedic effect as the song explores the inner-most feelings of a teenage girl as she tries to declare her young love.

This song encapsulates the sentiment of a ballad but without any of the substance, making it all the funnier, partially due to the blatant teenage angst associated with it and partially because Simon Tremblay isn’t a particularly likeable character.

This song might not be for some as it is a little too slow to be a top-notch jam, but it's incredibly well sang and the music production is of great quality. Perfect for any hopeless romantics out there who can laugh at this complete overkill of a love song.
