Bubba Sparxxx – Ms.New Booty Barney Stinsons Phone Ringtone in Episode 4 season 8
what the dubstep name song in episode 8 ??
The Best It’s Gonna Get (J Scott G & Joman Remix)
by Celldweller
whats the song when lily and scooter and lily are drinking in front of the cop in her “badass” story in ep 8 season 8?
anyone know the background music in episode Lobster Crawls during Barney conversation with Lily and Robin about what he searching for in his life etc (setting:Mclaren Bar)
so there are two songs when ted talks to lilly on the roof. The first
one is a piano riff and it is not “guiding light” or “the funeral” or
“voices”, it happens right after lilly talks about the baby, anyone know
what it is?
What is the song playing behind when Barney was jinxed and the subtitles went up bit by bit… It was the same tune that was played when barney showed robin-cropped photos…
I have to know what the last song on tonight’s episode was
i was wondering the same , i love that piano riff..
s08e20 – the Time Travelers -(Piano piece when Ted imagines meeting the Mother early is Swihart. I tell you this because I know you will ask. ) — Please clarify it for me. Whats the full name of this song ? 🙂 thanks
No problem… well depending on the answer you want. John Swihart is the show composer and writes a lot of great stuff… but sadly it’s only for the show and not for sale. May not help but does that make sense?
yes thanks… now i am super SAD 🙁
As am I. a beautiful piece of music….
Hey! Can you tell me something? Almost everytime Barney tells his plans or grafts, there’s a background music. For example, on episode “The Fight” (S05EP08, I guess), right before he punches himself in the eye. What is the name of that song?
Thank yoou!
If thats true, I’m not sure if Swihart intended it but the instrumental piece sounds a lot like an instrumental version of “the Funeral” by Band of horses (regular version played at the train station in farhampton 🙂
Hey guys, I’m just going to make your day. Swihart’s song for HIMYM S8E20 is on soundcloud and the download is FREE! It is entitled “You’re all Alone”. Enjoy!
Does anyone know the background song when Robin
shows up at Barney’s doorstep in purple lingerie, then he turns her down
and gestures over to Patrice ? (Season 8, ep 9 “Lobster Crawl”)
Thank you so much !!
