The Sopranos' Alternative Theme Song
The Sopranos has a iconic opening title sequence, featuring Tony Soprano driving through New Jersey, accompanied by Alabama 3's "Woke Up This Morning".
However, creator David Chase initially considered a different song, by Elvis Costello, which would have explicitly stated the show's themes.
It would have been a terrible choice, ruining the show's subtle approach.
- The original song choice would have been too obvious.
- The Sopranos' final theme song is widely regarded as one of the most perfect in television history.
Fortunately, Chase ultimately chose the soulful techno track, which perfectly complements the show's tone and narrative.
Author's summary: The Sopranos almost had a disastrous theme song.
