(Spoiler Warning: Please do non go along reading if you lot have not seen this week'due south episode of "The Walking Dead")

"The Walking Dead" has left plenty of gruesome images burned into our brains, merely this week's episode went a different route: a vocal chosen "Easy Street" that'due south so tricky that we had to know who sings it.

In the episode, we run into Daryl (Norman Reedus) at The Saviors' compound after he was taken abroad post-obit the bloody Season seven premiere. They torture him past repeatedly playing the vocal, which goes,"Nosotros're on easy 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 Club featuring Jim Bianco and Petra Haden. According to Reedus, information technology was not like shooting fish in a barrel finding a song to go with the scene.

"I was asking ane of the producers what song they used, because it was originally written every bit a children'southward song," Reedus told TheWrap. "And the producer said to me, 'It'due south really difficult to go music for that scene considering people don't want their vocal in a torture scene.'"

Of course, that'due south not the merely vocal featured in the episode.

Information technology opens with Dwight (Austin Amelio) going about his mean solar day while the song "Boondocks Called Malice" by The Jam. And then when Daryl is all but cleaved down at the end of the episode, we hear "Crying" by Roy Orbison.

"The Walking Dead" airs Sundays at 9 p.m./8c on AMC.

'The Walking Expressionless' Surprises: 26 Times the Tv Show Has Strayed From the Comics

• 

  "The Walking Dead" by and large follows the path of the graphic novel series on which it's based, just the AMC hit has often changed things up. Here are 26 times the show took a meaningful diversion from the story that "Walking Dead" creator Robert Kirkman laid out on paper, through the next-to-last episode of flavour 8.

• 

  The Centers for Disease Control in Atlanta didn't even effigy in the comics, but the flavour ane finale of the show featured a pit stop in that location. The last remaining staffer, Dr. Edwin Jenner, explained to our "heroes" that everyone living is infected with the virus to some degree, so that no matter how they dice they'll resurrect as a walker.

• 

  Daryl (Norman Reedus) and his brother Merle (Michael Rooker) aren't fifty-fifty in the comics. Merle died in seasom 3, but Daryl has remained a main grapheme and fan favorite since the showtime of the show.

• 

  On the testify, Lori (Sarah Wayne Callies) died giving nascency to her daughter, Judith, during season iii, only in the comics Lori survived Judith's nativity -- though she and Judith finish up being killed when the Governor raids the prison.

• 

  RV possessor Dale Horvath (Jeffrey DeMunn) dies during flavour 2 on the prove just survived much longer in the comics, eventually being bitten past walker and then partially eaten by cannibals (infecting them with his "tainted meat").

• 

  On the prove, Bob Stookey (Lawrence Gilliard Jr.) lasts longer than he does in the comics -- he ends upwardly beingness the "tainted meat" the cannibals ate instead of the long-deceased Dale.

• 

  The comic version of Shane Walsh (Jon Bernthal) was killed by sheriff's son Carl (Chandler Riggs) very early, before the group even makes it out of Atlanta. Only on the prove, Shane made it to the terminate of season 2, and Carl's dad Rick (Andrew Lincoln) is the one who takes him out.

• 

  The Governor (David Morrissey) chopped off one of Rick's hands in the comic, but our hero remains stubbornly two-handed on the show.

• 

  Lizzie and Mika were actually gender-swapped versions of their comic book characters, Ben (in place of Lizzie) and Billy (Mika). In the comics after Ben kills Baton, Carl is the one who kills Ben. On the testify it's Ballad who puts down the psychopathic Lizzie.

• 

  In the comic, Tyreese (Chad Coleman) had a daughter who entered into a suicide pact with her beau, Chris. The pact didn't go equally planned, though -- the 2 were planning to shoot each other at the same fourth dimension merely Chris fired early and came away unharmed. Until Tyreese dismembered him, anyway. On the show his merely family is Sasha, who was created for the evidence.

• 

  The TV version of Carol Peletier (Melissa McBride) is heart-anile and timid, the victim of prolonged domestic abuse -- before coming out of her vanquish and developing into a powerful character. Only in the graphic novels, Carol is much younger and her married man never abused her. And she tries to have a threesome with Rick and Lori.

• 

  On the show, Shane injures ranch hand Otis (Pruitt Taylor Vince) and leaves him to exist eaten by walkers. In the comic, though, Otis isn't killed until walkers invade the prison later on in the story.

• 

  Tomas (Nick Gomez) only appears on the Goggle box series, merely he serves the same function equally Dexter from the comics, letting walkers into the prison enclave before being killed by Rick for doing so.

• 

  Andrea (Laurie Holden) is killed in the season 3 finale of the testify after the Governor arranges for her to be bitten by a walker, though Andrea shoots herself before she can plough. In the comic, Andrea simply just recently died, at a point in the story that is well past where the show has gotten.

• 

  Hershel had many children in the comics, simply Beth was not one of them. None of the Greene kids in the comics directly correlates to Beth -- though the closest would be Billy Greene, a teenager who is killed when Woodbury folks set on the prison house.

• 

  Beth's entire fourth dimension at Grady Memorial Infirmary in Atlanta, likewise, is completely original to the show.

• 

  In the comics, Jessie Anderson simply had one son, Ron, simply in the show she had two: Ron and Sam.

• 

  The circumstances under which Jessie and her family died were different in the show as well. In both versions they, along with Rick and Carl, were navigating a walker horde while smeared in walker claret. In the comics this gambit simply failed, simply on the show their deaths occurred because Sam had a nervous breakdown when he spotted a child walker.

• 

  The circumstances under which Sherry left Dwight to get i of  Negan'southward wives was changed on the show. In the comics she married Negan in hopes of making life easier for the two of them. On the bear witness, she agreed to ally Negan when he was about to kill Dwight for going AWOL.

• 

  The reason Negan burned Dwight'due south face up was also different in the comics than the show. In the volume, Negan burned Dwight for sleeping with Sherry afterwards the left him for Negan. On the evidence, Sherry agreed to marry Negan and so he'd spare Dwight, but Negan burned him with the hot iron anyway.

• 

  Negan killed Glenn in the flavour seven premiere, as he as well did in the comics. But the evidence faked the states out showtime past having Negan as well kill Abraham. In the comics, Abraham was killed by another of the Saviors, Dwight, before the confrontation with Negan happened.

• 

  In season 7 of the prove, Richard was killed by Morgan as revenge -- Richard had carried out a programme to get-go a war between the Kingdom and the Saviors, but all it achieved was getting the teenager Benjamin killed. In the comics, still, Benjamin was shot and killed by ane of the Saviors during a big battle in the war that the show hadn't gotten to nonetheless.

• 

  In season 7, Eugene has become a turncoat against Rick and Alexandria, becoming a willing collaborator with the Saviors later beingness captured. In the books, however, Eugene was captured past the Saviors merely after Alexandria went to state of war with them -- and he refused to help them at all while in captivity.

• 

  Later on the set on on the Sanctuary, a unlike person is left behind on the testify and the comics. In the Flavour eight premiere of the show, after the battle ends and the walkers invade, Father Gabriel is the only one of Rick's party who gets trapped in that location -- in the comics, it was Holly who ends up trapped in Sanctuary after the battle.

• 

  In the Season eight mid-season finale, nosotros discovered that Carl has been bitten by a walker, and then he died in the next episode. In the comics to date, which the testify is non close to communicable up to, Carl remains alive, making this one of the biggest departures from the comics the evidence has ever done.

• 

  Out of nowhere, in the 2d one-half of season 8 a woman named Georgie showed to to give the Hilltop a book explaining how to build mills and aqueducts and stuff. This grapheme has never been in the comics at all, just she does wait oddly like the leader of a comics faction called the Commonwealth that the show isn't even close to getting to yet. Or is information technology?

• 

  Simon, Negan's second in command until the next-to-last episode of season 8, is original to the show and took the story of the Saviors completely off its comic book rails. The war with the Saviors in the comics ends with the battle at the Hilltop -- which Simon led instead of Negan on the show and which ended in a stalemate instead of being the decisive fight. Simon's attempted coup is also original to the show.

The show doesn't always stick with the story as told in the comics it'southward adapting (SPOILERS)

"The Walking Expressionless" generally follows the path of the graphic novel serial on which it's based, but the AMC hitting has often changed things upward. Here are 26 times the show took a meaningful diversion from the story that "Walking Dead" creator Robert Kirkman laid out on paper, through the adjacent-to-concluding episode of season 8.
