Interesting facts and trivia about The Walker. By Songfacts®.

This individuality anthem was released as the second single from Fitz and The Tantrums' More Than Just a Dream album. "Crazy's what they think about me Ain't gonna stop because they tell me so. Cuz 99 miles per hour baby, Is how fast that I like to go." The song is a celebration of marching to a different beat.

Ellen DeGeneres is a big fan of the song. It was featured as the backdrop to her one-take Oscar trailer and the chat show host invited Fitz and The Tantrums onto her show for a special birthday performance of the tune.

The song's sassy lyrical content about walking to the sound of one's own drum and its upbeat instrumentation makes it perfect for media placement. Its appearances include these TV shows: The Umbrella Academy ("We Only See Each Other At Weddings And Funerals" - 2019) Grandfathered ("Pilot" - 2015) Suits ("Bad Faith" - 2013) The Vampire Diaries ("Handle With Care" - 2013) Royal Pains ("A Trismus Story" - 2013) And these movies: Love Over Distance (2017) Dallas Buyers Club (2013) Identity Thief (2013)
