Let's Go to the Mall

This article about networks retooling TV shows reminded me of a great sequence in a recent How I Met Your Mother. Robin, one of the main characters, is a TV news anchor. She also happens to be Canadian. The entire episode centered around a secret tape that she wanted no one to ever see, which the other characters assume to be something dirty. At the end of the episode the secret gets revealed: she was a Canadian pop star in high school. Her one hit: “Let’s Go to the Mall.”
