10 Best Musical Numbers In How I Met Your Mother
2. You Just Got Slapped
This song is unique in the sense that it’s one of Jason Segel’s only full performances in the show – shocking considering his background in music! This soft-sung and gently-played melody perfectly balances beauty with humour, with the lyrics being both clever and incredibly funny.
Segel’s voice is incredible as always and leaves us wondering why the show didn’t utilise his talent more often than they did. You can tell he's a trained musician, with full control over when to lean into the comedy, and when to lean into some genuine sincerity.
On top of this, Neil Patrick Harris’s musical groans of pain add yet more musical harmony and comedy into the piece.
What's more, it's a perfect end to a great episode that sums up the vibe of the show superbly.
