The Sopranos' Alternative Main Theme Song
The Sopranos has a iconic opening title sequence, featuring Tony Soprano driving through New Jersey, accompanied by "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.
It would have been a terrible choice.
The final choice of "Woke Up This Morning" is widely regarded as one of the most perfect opening title sequences in television history.
