Robin Sparkles was a Canadian Teen Singer who had a One-Hit Wonder in 1986 with the single “Let’s go to the Mall” which peaked at #39 on the Billboard Charts in the US.
The song reached #1 on the charts in Canada and spent an amazing 38 consecutive weeks atop the charts.
A follow-up single, “Sandcastles in the Sand” was a minor hit in Canada but did not chart in the US.
She had no other hits and her music career quickly faded away.
Robin Sparkles, real name Robin Scherbatsky, is now a News Anchor with Metro News 1, a cable channel in New York City.
For those not fans of the CBS Sitcom “How I met your Mother“, this post will leave you clueless. For those that do not watch the show, Robin Sparkles is the deep, dark secret of one of the character’s past. The Robin Scherbatsky character revealed a dark secret which her friends mistakenly assumed that she had been a porn star back in her native Canada. Her secret was actually much worse…..she was actually a former teen singing sensation….known across Canada as Robin Sparkles…..
Translation: This is a GAG…
She does not exist….
She is a fictional character from a TV Show….. Just in case John tries to look her up on Wikipedia….
Who?

This was great. I hope someone on “HIMYM” sees it and they talk about it in the show!

Colleen – The video was actually a gag in one of their shows….. They did a great job of making the 80′s videos look totally silly…..like they were….
