One of the most memorable parts of The Witcher Season 1 on Netflix was the song "Toss a Coin to Your Witcher" that the lute-playing bard Jaskier sings. The song has gone viral, inspiring many covers on YouTube. It's probably stuck in your head, and that's the same for actor Joey Batey.
Asked by Variety for his thoughts on the song, he said, "It's pretty hellish, yeah. I think it's a crackin' song, but I've been listening to it for about a year now. I'll get in the shower and just start going, 'Toss a coin….'"

Now Playing: The Witcher Game Gets "Toss A Coin To Your Witcher" Mod - GS News Update
Batey went on to say that it's been "brilliant and wonderful" to see the positive response to "Toss a Coin," including the many covers that have sprung up on YouTube. He has been particularly impressed by the metal renditions. "The heavy metal ones? I love them. Fourteen-year-old Joey is having a field day right now," he said.
Batey previously told Men's Health that Toss a Coin is "the most annoying thing I've ever heard."
The song was written by The Witcher composers Sonya Belousova and Giona Ostinelli, and Batey provided feedback as well throughout the writing process.
Batey is currently preparing for The Witcher Season 2. Given the immense popularity of "Toss a Coin," Variety asked him if he'll sing more songs in Season 2. "I can neither confirm nor deny," Batey said.
The Witcher Season 2 is coming in 2021, and the producers have said it will be more linear in response to the feedback for Season 1. Also, there will be no diarrhoea.
