The moment that How I Met Your Mother [1]'s Robin first revealed that she was the Canadian teen pop sensation Robin Sparkles, complete with hit single "Let's Go to the Mall," was one of the show's truly classic moments — not to mention one of my favorite online TV spots [2] of all time.
On Monday, Robin Sparkles is back — this time with a little help from James Van Der Beek [3] as an ex-boyfriend of Robin's who happened to star in the video for the B-side to "Let's Go to the Mall," a wistful breakup ballad called "Sandcastles in the Sand." Variety already has the whole song streaming online [4], but I'm holding off on listening to it until Monday. It's probably silly, but I want to be at least a little bit surprised.
I did, however, cave and watch some of the video teasers that have been released via CBS and MySpace. From the peeking I've done, I can tell the videos have a great, dated vibe, with a dose of Heidi Montag beach video [5] and an amazingly awkward Dawson-related make-out scene. Can't wait till Monday? You can check out both video teasers if you .
