content
It's about a girl who could "nail" Barney, but one thing is missing. A "10" would be nice, but Barney prefers to be dressed as the "nines" as nothing would look better than a suit. He imagines how all people are well dressed. In the next few verses the enthusiasm for suits becomes evident. Then the other main characters from How I Met Your Mother each have their say in a sentence in which they ask Barney questions, for example whether he would rather choose his suits or a pot of gold or immortality. He always chooses the suits.
Finally, Barney realizes that girls come and go, but this is the one. And every bro knows there is no substitute. He decides against the suits, but mentions again that nothing looks better than a suit.
background
The song appeared in the 100th How I Met Your Mother episode Suit Off ! (Original title: Girls Versus Suits ). Barney, one of the main characters, had previously wanted to "nail" the new bartender in the local pub of the five friends, but she turned him down because of his suit because she had bad experiences with men in suits. However, when she gets to know him better in a T-shirt and jeans and is finally in his apartment, she finds his suits and gives him the choice between her or his suits, which starts the musical.
65 dancers were part of the musical, including the main characters of the series, Glee star Heather Morris and OC, California star Rachel Bilson . The choreography is by Zach Woodlee . The orchestra for the music consisted of 50 people.
