Victory ended a 114 year Scottish Cup hoodoo for the Edinburgh club and sparked unprecedented celebrations among their fans.
The following day the team took part in an open top bus victory parade through the capital to their home in Leith.
Cummings told the Open Goal podcast: "That group of boys was class. It was carnage. We were right on the bevvies and then we went out on a three or four day bender.
"That's the best, after it when you're celebrating in the changing room. The parade was unbelievable as well after that -- just seeing the people, it was like 200-plus-thousand, it was unbelievable.
"The night before that parade I woke up in a skip. I was out all night and I swear, see one of those nights where you're out on it non-stop and I mind walking past this skip.
"And mate, I'm f****** shattered and I just jumped in there and fell asleep.
"The sun woke me up and 'you've got the parade today'. I had to jump out the skip like that and get the suit on, straight back out. I loved it.
"It (the parade day) was class. People greeting their eyes out, like 'never seen it in my life', 'you've made my life', 'you'll never need to buy a drink again'.
"We were just heros. It was class. Really good."
Cummings, who grew up a Hearts fan, became a hero at Hibs.
He left the club for Nottingham Forest the following year and was sent out on three loan moves including a spell at Rangers.
He also played for Dundee before a life-changing move to Australia.
He currently stars for Indian Super League champions Mohun Bagan, based in Kolkata.
The striker, who also plays for the Australian national team despite representing Scotland in a friendly, said he's loving life in India.
He said: "I love it. It's a different world out there but football-wise it's a different class.
"We get 60,000 or 70,000 every game, and the fans just love football.
"When I first went I thought obviously cricket is massive there but we're in Kolkata and they just all love football... (I'm the) main man, bigger than the Beatles over there. Can't move walking down the streets."
He added: "It's chaos, with the fans. As soon as we leave (the hotel) -- the stadium is right over the road -- it should be a five minute drive but it takes us an hour to get there.
"There's flares -- I saw a ten year old on a horse with a flare going to the game."
Despite a reputation for his exuberant behaviour, he said he enjoys quieter pursuits in India.

He said: "Lifestyle-wise there's not much to do. We'll go out for a wee game of golf with the boys but I play a bit of chess. I'm good at the chess, I love it.
"There's so much time over there. When we go back after training we're just in the hotel so it's the same food, everyone is in there, the manager is in there as well, and all the coaches.
"There's a tennis court there... a bit of poker. We go out and about but as soon as you go out and about you just get crowded, like proper.
"Because there's not many tourists you stick out like a sore thumb. They see me, blond hair and all that, they're just on you for photos, photos, photos.
"When my mum came over, she was like Joanna Lumley over there. She was getting surrounded, non-stop, you can't go anywhere.
"It's a city of joy, Kolkata, but just so many people.
"The maddest thing I've seen, just everyday... cows just going up the street, goats, stray dogs running on the training pitch and that."
But he said India offered him something he wouldn't find anywhere else.
He added: "It just came about, they were interested and they were proper wanting me.
"I looked into it a wee bit and, I don't know, the fanbase and all that.
"I saw the games and 60,000 or 70,000 I thought that's a bit me that.
"I'll go over there and try it... just the atmosphere at the games, that they all love it over there, I just thought where else can you get that?
"I wouldn't get that anywhere else."

Sport stars pay tribute to late Doddie Weir in birthday video
Rugby stars Kenny Logan and Rob Wainwright and other sporting legends have paid tribute to the late Doddie Weir in a video released on what would have been his 55th birthday. The video has been created to honour the memory of Weir, and the legacy of the foundation he set up to find effective treatments for motor neurone disease (MND) after he was diagnosed with it in 2016. Weir founded the My Name'5 Doddie Foundation in 2017, and died in November 2022 aged 52. Those in the video include Olympic swimming medallist Duncan Scott, Olympic curling medallist Eve Muirhead, broadcaster and ex-footballer Ally McCoist, former England rugby player Mike Tindall and British and Irish Lions fly-half Fin Smith. Supporters from across the UK will wear Doddie tartan to work on Friday July 4, as part of a tradition marking what would have been the former rugby player's birthday. Kenny Logan, who played alongside Doddie as part of the 1999 Five Nations-winning Scotland side, said: 'Doddie was a leader in life, and he remains a leader in death. 'His memory inspires thousands of people, both inside and outside of the MND community, to take action and help bring an end to this devastating disease. 'We all know Doddie should still be here with us. He brought light and laughter into every room, even in the darkest days. It's up to all of us to dig deep, keep fundraising and finish what he started. 'We do it because we miss him. We do it because we love him. And we do it because nobody else should have to go through what he and his family did.' The My Name'5 Doddie Foundation has now committed almost £20 million to targeted research projects and launched a Catalysing A Cure strategy to speed up the search for effective treatments. Earlier this year it pledged £4 million to the MND Discovery Network, a new UK-wide initiative connecting leading scientists to accelerate progress. The film also features Jennie Starkey, who is living with MND and is part of the Foundation's Discovery Network board. The video comes after the end of the Doddie's Lions Challenge, in which a team led by Logan and including Ally McCoist, Gabby Logan, and Doddie's widow Kathy, cycled 555 miles around the island of Ireland in five days to deliver the match ball for the British and Irish Lions vs Argentina fixture in Dublin. The ride has so far raised almost £650,000 for MND research. My Name'5 Doddie Foundation chief executive Nicola Roseman, said: 'Doddie's spirit continues to galvanise the MND community. 'The outpouring of support and emotion on what would have been his 55th birthday shows just how many lives he touched and how much his story still matters. It also reminds us that there is still work to be done. 'Every birthday that passes without Doddie is another reminder of the urgency of our mission.'

Erotic novelist Sophie Gravia used chatbot to break up with boyfriend
When faced with the daunting task of ending a relationship where the spark simply fizzled, Sophie Gravia turned to artificial intelligence for a helping hand. The award-winning Scottish author, known for her erotic fiction novels, could not think how to break up with her boyfriend so she outsourced the problem to an AI chatbot. The 33-year-old writer found herself dating a man who was by all accounts perfectly nice. However, despite his good qualities, Gravia just couldn't find that elusive connection. 'He was a nice person, couldn't fault him in any way but I just wasn't into it,' she confessed on her BBC Situationships podcast that she co-hosts with Christine McGuinness. 'When I was with him, I don't know if he was maybe a wee bit boring and there was no spark.' As she was struggling to find the right words to let him down gently, a friend suggested an unconventional solution: artificial intelligence. Intrigued, Gravia downloaded an AI app. She explained her predicament to the chatbot, asking it to craft a break-up message that wouldn't hurt her boyfriend's feelings, essentially an 'it's not you, it's me' scenario. 'They gave me this … text message to write and honestly it was great,' Gravia recalled. She personalised the message slightly, adding names and a touch of Scottish flair, before sending it off last year. The digital parting wasn't entirely smooth sailing, as the man tried to call her. Gravia, still relying on her AI confidante, even copied and pasted his subsequent text message back into the app, asking for a reply. When the conversation lingered and she felt uncomfortable, she instructed the AI to 'be more firm', which it readily did, crafting an even more direct message. Although her friends advocated a more blunt approach, Gravia believed the AI delivered a far kinder message than she ever could have. 'AI wrote it very nicely, a lot nicer than me or any of my friends,' she said, giving the chatbot a 'ten out of ten'. Gravia, a former nurse, burst onto the literary scene with her self-published debut A Glasgow Kiss in 2021, and went on to sell hundreds of thousands of copies of her popular novels. Now, it seems, she's not just a master of fiction, but also a pioneer in the art of the AI-assisted break-up.

"Never did I think it would go this far, but I'm so happy it has, and no more teeth!" Doof in the Park will feature three stages, each reflecting Hannah's style and the spirit of her brand, Doof, named after the heavy beats of her musical main stage will be headlined by Dutch trance legend Armin van Buuren, alongside former Radio 1 DJ, Judge Jules."I'm totally inspired by that 90s sound, and that really reflects my DJ sets and my production," she said."That's why I wanted to put those artists on the main stage, because that's the sound I truly love."The second stage will feature newer artists such as Charlie Sparks and Ø is a style Hannah regularly plays, and she recently collaborated with Sparks on a track from her upcoming Into The Bounce talent is also front and centre, with the third stage spotlighting local names including Billy Morris and Paul Findlay."Stage three is The Highlander stage," Hannah said."I did my residency in The Highlander in Ibiza and I just wanted to pay my respects to that because that's where my journey began."I wanted to put the local Dundee DJs on that stage and give them that good experience I used to have at The Highlander."Hannah believes the range of music across the three stages will attract a broad crowd."I knew when I announced a festival for Dundee there would be so many older people who would come, as well as the younger ones," she said."So I really wanted to have something for everybody."

"We don't have anything like it."People who are into dance music here usually need to travel, so I wanted to bring something new and fresh to people's doorstep."Hannah says supporting the local economy has been central to her plans and has tried to keep everything as local as possible - from the traders to security also hopes the event will help impact local businesses such as hotels, restaurants and beauty salons."With everything that it brings, it's great for our wee city."Although Doof in the Park is a debut event, Hannah is already thinking long term."This is definitely something I'd like to do yearly," she says, "I'd love that.""It's so good for Dundee."
