This song: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TraFxjPyDns is great and not only because it’s used in HIMYM. Why didn’t anyone tell me this was The Kinks?

An Ode to a Mother
I’ve known my mother for my entire life, and now half of hers (give or take a few months). I’ve got to say, she’s one helluva woman. Today I don’t have a chance to see her, but I had a chance to talk to her; she’s off in Chicago celebrating her day with her friends. My […]
