The Sopranos' Alternative Main Theme Song
The Sopranos has a iconic opening title sequence, featuring Tony Soprano driving through New Jersey, accompanied by the song "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.
It would have been a terrible choice
This alternative song would have ruined the show's subtle approach, making the themes too obvious.
- The Sopranos' opening sequence is widely regarded as one of the best in TV history.
- The song "Woke Up This Morning" perfectly complements the show's tone and themes.
Fortunately, Chase ultimately chose the Alabama 3 song, resulting in a more nuanced and effective introduction to the series.
Author's summary: The Sopranos almost had a disastrous main theme song.
