"The Walking Dead" has left enough of gruesome images burned into our brains, but this week'due south episode went a different route: a song called "Easy Street" that'south so catchy that nosotros had to know who sings it.
In the episode, we see Daryl (Norman Reedus) at The Saviors' compound afterward he was taken away following the bloody Season 7 premiere. They torture him past repeatedly playing the vocal, which goes,"We're on like shooting fish in a barrel street/and it feels so sweet/Cuz the world is only a treat/And you're on piece of cake street."
So who sings the peppy tune? Collapsible Hearts Society featuring Jim Bianco and Petra Haden. According to Reedus, it was non easy finding a song to go with the scene.

"I was request one of the producers what song they used, because it was originally written as a children's vocal," Reedus told TheWrap. "And the producer said to me, 'It's really hard to get music for that scene because people don't want their vocal in a torture scene.'"
Of form, that'southward non the just vocal featured in the episode.
It opens with Dwight (Austin Amelio) going about his day while the song "Town Called Malice" by The Jam. And then when Daryl is all but broken downward at the terminate of the episode, we hear "Crying" by Roy Orbison.
"The Walking Dead" airs Sundays at 9 p.thousand./8c on AMC.
