We're willing to bet you haven't yet stopped humming 'Easy Street" yet, the song used in the most recent episode of AMC series The Walking Dead.

Shortly after the episode aired, we tracked down the song's writer Jim Bianco who told us he's clueless as to how the show's producers found it. Despite the song being used to torture the imprisoned fan favourite Daryl Dixon (Norman Reedus), Bianco remains overjoyed by its usage.

We're certain his joy will go into overdrive after he learns that Spotify streaming of the song is poised to triple in just two days.

This figure is on track to be tripled - just two days later, they've reached a staggering 80,935; the song is also rising up the iTunes UK chart, currently sitting at nine.


Bianco told us: "I didn't really understand why a show like The Walking Dead would want to use such an upbeat over-the-top, in your face "happy" song but now I understand - to torture someone, of course."

In case you've forgotten how it goes, here's a reminder.
