Robin Sparkles is back to remind everyone to stay at home

It looks like Cobie Smulders is more into reprising her iconic Robin Sparkles character than fans originally thought. Just weeks after the Stumptown star hesitantly sang a couple of lines from her How I Met Your Mother character’s famous Canadian alter-ego for Jake Johnson on IG Live, she’s put out a whole new song.Smulders shared the new ditty, “Let’s All Stay At Home” on her Instagram page May 7. In the nearly three-minute-video she plays the piano and sings an updated version of her faux Canadian smash “Let’s Go to the Mall,” which was famously performed by her character Robin Scherbatsky on the show. “Welp. 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,” she wrote in the post, calling out HIMYM’s creators.

Welp. 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. If you are able and willing please donate to the following charities.

“And to Brian Kim, who helped compose this song originally,” Smulders continued. “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.” For fans too, it seems, who have already liked the post nearly half a million times.There are no actual sparkles, headbands, spiral perms or even crazy eyeshadow for fans to fawn over, but on the plus side Smulders is wearing a jean jacket as she belts out the new lyrics in that fake Canadian accent. “I have to go to Zoom school soon, at least until we're all immune” she sings along with lines like, “Dad says I'm too young to date, guidelines say we have to wait.”
