The Sopranos' Alternative Main Theme Song
The Sopranos has a nearly perfect opening title sequence, featuring Tony Soprano driving through New Jersey, accompanied by 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.
This alternative song choice would have been a disastrous decision, making the show's themes too obvious.
Fortunately, Chase ultimately chose "Woke Up This Morning", resulting in one of the most iconic opening sequences in television history.
Author's summary: The Sopranos almost had a different theme song.
