The Sopranos' Alternative Main Theme Song
The Sopranos has a nearly flawless opening title sequence, featuring Tony Soprano driving through New Jersey, set to the soulful techno track "Woke Up This Morning" by Alabama 3.
However, creator David Chase initially considered a different song, by 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 was by Elvis Costello.
- The final choice, "Woke Up This Morning" by Alabama 3, was a better fit.
This alternative song would have been a disastrous choice, making the show's themes too obvious.
Author's summary: The Sopranos almost had a different theme song.
