I'm gonna rock your body 'til Canada Day!


This is a shirt from glarkware. It can be found here. It's a reference to the greatest comedic episode of television ever produced, which is of course, the "Slap Bet" episode of How I Met Your Mother. This episode if also the first appearance of Robin Sparkles a teenage one-hit wonder from Canada known for her song "Let's Go To the Mall". The back has a bunch of tour dates held at Canadian malls.

Here's the music video:

It's just one of the most apt 80s parodies I've ever seen. It's also ridiculously catchy. The creators of the show are also musicians in their own right. [things you don't care about alert!] Their band The Solids wrote the show's theme song (the signatures ba ba ba bas are near the end of the song). They've produced several other songs for the show including a Robin Sparkles ballad and a song that Barney dedicates to his love for suits.
