Close your eyes, and think of some of the most iconic darts walk-on songs.
Maybe it wasn’t the first wal-on you thought of, but I’d be willing to bet the great MVG’s was one of the first few on your mind.
Nothing is more iconic than hearing the excerpt from “Shine On You Crazy Diamond” by Pink Floyd because you know what song is going to follow it.
The room goes dark, with neon green light filling the room.
Then starts the iconic drum beats of Seven Nation Army as the crowd erupts singing “Ohhhhh Michael van Gerwen” as loud as they can.
It’s truly a once-in-a-lifetime experience.

“Seven Nationa Army” Lyrics
I’m gonna fight ’em offA seven nation army couldn’t hold me backThey’re gonna rip it offTakin’ their time right behind my backAnd I’m talkin’ to myself at nightBecause I can’t forgetBack and forth through my mindBehind a cigarette
And the message comin’ from my eyesSays, “Leave it alone”
Don’t wanna hear about itEvery single one’s got a story to tellEveryone knows about itFrom the Queen of England to the Hounds of HellAnd if I catch it comin’ back my wayI’m gonna serve it to youAnd that ain’t what you want to hearBut that’s what I’ll do
And the feelin’ comin’ from my bonesSays, “Find a home”
I’m goin’ to WichitaFar from this opera forevermoreI’m gonna work the strawMake the sweat drip out of every poreAnd I’m bleedin’, and I’m bleedin’, and I’m bleedin’Right before the LordAll the words are gonna bleed from meAnd I will think no more
And the stains comin’ from my bloodTell me, “Go back home”
