The MLB season is still young, but Kiké Hernandez might have already won for best walk-up music of the year.
Kiké Hernandez’s glorious walk-up music is the ‘Yodeling Walmart Kid’
This is good walk-up music.
James Dator has been covering a wide range of sports for SB Nation for over a decade, with a special focus on the NFL.
It’s OK if you don’t recognize the music, because it doesn’t play long in this clip — but it’s 11-year-old Mason Ramsey, better known as “Yodeling Walmart Kid,” who went viral when he performed Hank Williams Jr’s Lovesick Blues for shoppers.
The video quickly went viral, and became so influential that Lovesick Blues rose up the Spotify charts, all on the back on Yodeling Walmart Kid. For Hernandez, it was an unconventional piece of walk-up music, but 10/10 for meme usage.
