What is the opening theme song in the American crime drama television series "The Sopranos"?

"The Sopranos" is an American crime drama television series created by David Chase. The story revolves around Tony Soprano (James Gandolfini), a New Jersey-based Italian-American mobster, portraying the difficulties that he faces as he tries to balance his family life with his role as the leader of a criminal organization.

The series is noted for its eclectic music selections and has received considerable critical attention for its effective use of previously recorded songs. The music was usually selected once the production and editing of an episode was completed, but sometimes sequences were filmed to match preselected pieces of music.

The show's opening theme is "Woke Up This Morning", written by, remixed and performed by British band Alabama 3. The song is off the band's 1997 album "Exile on Coldharbour Lane". It has been cited as a paradigmatic example of a great theme song, which generates anticipation, puts the viewer in a focused frame of mind, and creates the kind of familiarity that breeds audience loyalty. With few exceptions, a different song plays over the closing credits of each episode.

"The Sopranos" is widely regarded as one of the greatest television series of all time. In 2013, the Writers Guild of America named the show the best written television series of all time, while 'TV Guide' ranked it the best television series of all time. In 2016, 'Rolling Stone' magazine ranked it first on the list of all television shows.
