    I think you may be right, I’ve added it to the episode after listening to it for a while.

    [Reply]

    Mambokurt Reply:

    This was my first guess too but it’s not. Listen carefully: They sound pretty much the same but they’re not. The bass line is a little bit different. Plus there’s no guitar in Rebellion’s intro, that’s clearly a piano playing the melody. I’m more and more convinced this song is an original score made for the episode. Thanks anyways.

    aaron Reply:

    I’ve changed teh episode list it’s actually Lost and Found by Ola Podrida
    Thanks for looking though!

    Mambokurt Reply:

    I just listened to it and I’m not really convinced. What part of the song do you think it is?

    Mambokurt Reply:

    Alright I watched the episode once again and realized we were note talking about the same song. You’re right: this song Lost and Found really is played but when Marshall finally finds the burger place at the end of the episode :)

    My question was about the instrumental song played at the moment they think the found the place but it’s turned into an ATM machine (song starts around 16 minutes 27 seconds). Any clue? Thanks!

    aaron Reply:

    Sorry for the confusion. I’ve corrected the description. I’m fairly certain that everything else in the episode was scripted by the show composer Swihart

    Jack,
    The song that plays during Marshall and Lilly’s outside “real” wedding…..is “Love Song” by a band named Haunt; it is super hard to find. It is from their first album; “As Blue As Your Dying Eyes”. I cannot find it on their Myspace sight…I scoured local record stores for it but eventually bought it on Amazon. However it was totally worth it. If you are an Indie rock fan you will love it. I listened to it for 2 weeks before even getting into the rest of the cd.

  45. Winkle said:

    I appreciate the help “Ted,” but i bought Laundry Shop on iTunes and it is definitely not the song that is played between that period of time. I just can’t make out enough of the lyrics because Ted and Robin are talking over it. Only able to catch some bits and pieces, it sounds like “Guardian angel…don’t let…don’t swear…the song that i would…” but when i try googling the bits and pieces I come up empty handed. Thanks for the season 1-4 help there, it seems there is also an 83 song playlist on iTunes.

    Finally figured it out, its not Laundry Shop by Fuck… its actually “Records to Your Rivals” by Garth Michael McDermott

    does anyone know the name of the rock song played in last nights episode ( 11/9 ) when Robin and Barney were in the diner ? Seems like it might be the same band or similar from the episode in the prior week that is playing when Robin and Barney are fighting, and throwing dishes….anyone know those two songs?

    So what you you are saying is, The foreskins – murder train is really Gabriel Moses – Explosion? The song when marshall have a big fight with his brothers, when Ted is fighting the goat and when Robin and Barney fighting at the diner? I’ve been looking for this song a long time.

    Where can I get it from?

    @Now I Can Sleep…thanks I’ll look into that and add it.
    @lucas… I think we are talking about two different fight songs. Murder Train is a made up song for the show. They use it off and on. It was originally in the Sandcastles episode if I remember correctly. I keep asking the music guys to release it. Maybe we’ll get lucky

    Hi, I have seen that a few people have asked about the Season 4 DVD Menu song. I also love it but can’t find it anywhere. It’s not “Eraser” by No Age as you have on the website currently. I had thought that it sounded similar to the song “Prophets” by AC Newman and so listened to the extracts of their other songs on Itunes but couldn’t find it.

    If somebody could PLEASE find the Season 4 DVD Menu song I’d be eternally grateful!!!

    [Reply]

    aaron Reply:

    I know it’s not Eraser however it’s the closest track I could find. My guess is it’s a tracked song inspired by Eraser. This happens a lot with HIMYM songs, a song will sound familiar but it’s only because the composer is using something close for their work.

    On the other side of your question is this… I don’t own the dvd, only the blu-ray and I’m not sure they are all the same. If you want to rip me some audio samples I”ll be happy to look into it more though!
