Netflix blew the release for 'Toss a Coin to Your Witcher,' the hit song of the season

Netflix's The Witcher adaptation seems to be the streaming service's latest hit, helped at least in part by the massive viral success of the hit song of the season, "Toss a Coin to Your Witcher," sung by the bard Jaskier (Joey Batey) at the end of the show's second episode to immortalize the epic deeds of Geralt of Rivia (Henry Cavill).

The only semi-official release of the song, in fact, comes not from Netflix, but from a post from Sonya Belousova and Giona Ostinelli - the composers for The Witcher's soundtrack - on Soundcloud. The post itself has nearly half a million views, which is certainly impressive, but it's nothing compared to the tens of millions of plays it has across channels on YouTube - plays that could be going toward an official Netflix release on Spotify or Apple Music (or at the very least, with an official YouTube post from Netflix that links viewers to The Witcher).

It's not like Netflix couldn't have seen this coming. In an interview with Men's Health, Batey commented that, "It's the most annoying thing I've ever heard. It's so catchy." Later in the interview, Batey elaborated that the song has stuck with him for months, compared to the scant week the rest of the world has had with it. "Everyone's been listening to it for a week or so now, and humming it. I've had that in my head for eight months."
