Luke Humphries dumps 'Cake by the Ocean' as walk-on song with change incoming
PDCThursday, 25 April 2024 at 18:00
Luke Humphries will soon no longer be using the song 'Cake by the Ocean' by American band DNCE as a walk-on song. 'Cool Hand Luke' has announced a change.
The song is not found catchy enough by audience members, who are more used to singing along to tunes like "Shut Up and Dance" when Michael Smith enters or "Mr. Brightside" for Nathan Aspinall.
Last weekend, Humphries was in action at the European Darts Grand Prix. He defeated Luke Littler in his first match 6-5, before 'Cool Hand Luke' also won 6-5 over Stephen Bunting. After his match against Bunting, Humphries mentioned in his interview that he will soon use a new walk-on song.
“This is going to be the last time that Cake by the Ocean is ever performed in European Tour history,” Humphries told master of ceremonies Philip Brzezinski on stage. “It is going to be changed from Leeds Premier League so….as much as it’s not the best song in the world I do enjoy it so hopefully I can give it the send off it deserves, hopefully over the next three games.”
Thus, at the Liverpool (April 25) and Aberdeen (May 2) rounds of play, Humphries will still use 'Cake by the Ocean' as his song. The Kaiser Chiefs' song 'I Predict a Riot' is being tipped as a possible new song for Humphries. The reigning world champion is known to be a big Leeds United fan and that song is inextricably linked to Leeds United soccer club because the Kaiser Chiefs' band members are from Leeds.

- When Littler has at least five ranking Majors he’s in the discussion, until then, forget it.Mysstree14-11-2024
- This is the difference between other players and Phil Taylor. Phil would be completely motivated even before his walk on and didn't need anything else to do so.richieburnettrocks14-11-2024
- Still impressive though. Also literally everyone cares about averages that's what makes darts fascinating.medinabello14-11-2024
- BS he won a Euro Tour during this down period something that not many players can say. Dobey, Noppy, DvD, Ross Smith to name just a few.medinabello14-11-2024
- Maybe the supposed top players are burnt out from the endless travelling and tournaments, I just don't think they have the dedication or outright desire to win. I think they are more interested in the money and being popular, just keeping their rankings steady. The only thing that mattered to Phil Taylor was winning, not winning a few games to top up the money pot and seeking the fans attention. Maybe there is too many tournaments now and the enthusiasm is gone. This year especially has seen so many different winners and unexpected draws and line ups.richieburnettrocks14-11-2024
