Need to know the name of a song!

Oops, tried to ask this in a faq then found the comment option. Silly me, anyways can anyone help me with this please? I really need to know the artist of a song in this episode. It's near the beginning when they are talking about "there is a time when you think you know" and "there is a time when you know you know." Who is the artist singing in the background? I LOVE her voice! (There, I said it!) I got interested in this series because I love Alyson but now I love the whole show. I think Tedd and Robin are heart-wrenchingly romantic! And did barney actually look like Patrick Swayze in that simulated Dirty Dancing scene or what? Hilarious! (And Robin's little sister has a GREAT face!) :D
