If you watched it you know the theme song, Woke Up This Morning. Or at least you know the part they played over the opening credits. The song was not composed for the show. It was written and recorded earlier in the 90s by the Alabama 3 (despite the name they're a Brit band) for their album Exile On Coldharbour Lane (that's how you know they're a Brit band - they spell "harbor" incorrectly). Here's the full song - it take awhile to get to the part you'll recognize. Try to listen to it on a good sound system - when the bass drum kicks in it feels like your entire house is shaking.
We all had our favorite Sopranos episode. Mine was Pine Barrens or as we referred to it when wanting anyone else who was a Sopranos fan to know what you were talking about - The Russian In The Woods. In this episode a routine collection matter goes horribly wrong and Paulie Walnuts and Christopher Moltisanti end up in the South Jersey woods with, and without, a member of the Russian mob.
And for the truly obsessive Sopranos fan you can lose yourself in The Sopranos: Definitive Explanation Of The End. Have at it!
I also saw all episodes(via Netflix)and enjoyed them all. Among the many great subplots, the "cat and mouse" with the feds was intriguing. News to me about the theme song, interesting. Wow, what comprehensive insight into the ending, got me thinking again. Grazie! dm
