The Sopranos' Alternate Theme Song
The Sopranos has a iconic 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, "Elvis Costello", which would have explicitly stated the show's themes, potentially ruining the series.
The Sopranos creator David Chase wanted a different song to introduce Tony.
- The original song choice would have been a terrible fit.
- The final choice, "Woke Up This Morning", is a perfect accompaniment to the opening sequence.
Fortunately, the final decision resulted in one of the most perfect opening title sequences in television history.
