it’s extremely funny that Jaskier’s song from The Witcher tv series that everyone is obsessed with is like, so bad. Toss a Coin To Your Witcher is bad in universe and out of universe, it’s a vague rambling ballad about getting the shit kicked out of you but contrasts that with implications that there was a triumph somehow, the rhyming verses don’t fit together well, it’s full of awful wordplay that hurts the overall tone, the focus is poor, and the subject is unpopular,
but it has a really catchy chorus, so that is what people in-universe and out of universe remember. That catchy chorus is to blame for geralt’s fame (or infamy) because you couldn’t begin to understand what the rest of the song was accounting otherwise.
and yet, it replicates the experience of That One Good-Bad Song That You Half-Remember, like “oh I love this one,” and you can recount the catchy catchy chorus, then you are foggy on almost all the verses, something something elf on a shelf, something something friend of humanity– oh fuck it, TOSS A COIN TO YOUR WITCHER, O VALLEY OF PLENTY~
