The Sopranos' Alternative Theme Song
The Sopranos has a nearly perfect opening title sequence, featuring Tony Soprano driving through New Jersey, set to the song "Woke Up This Morning" by Alabama 3.
However, creator David Chase initially considered a different song, one that would have explicitly stated the show's themes, but would have been a poor choice.
The song was by an undisputed master of popular music, Elvis Costello.
- The original song choice would have ruined the show's subtlety.
- The Alabama 3 song "Woke Up This Morning" ultimately accompanied the opening sequence.
The final choice of song helped make The Sopranos' opening title sequence one of the most iconic in television history.
Author's summary: The Sopranos almost had a disastrous main theme song.
