Question: What is the name of the opening theme song of "The Sopranos," who performs it, and how was it selected?

Answer: The HBO series' opening theme, "Woke Up This Morning (Chosen One Mix)," is by Alabama 3, a techno-country band from Britain. The act goes by "A3" in the United States because of a legal warning from the country group named Alabama.

The song originally was released on A3's 1997 debut album, "Exile on Coldharbour Lane," but it generated little interest. "Sopranos" creator David Chase intended to use different songs in the opening credits as mob boss Tony Soprano drives from the city to his tranquil suburban home. But when Chase heard "Woke Up This Morning" on his car radio, he decided it would be the song. It premiered with the show in 1999.

The song is on "Sopranos" CDs such as " 'The Sopranos': Music From the HBO Original Series" and "Fuhgeddaboudit! Music You Heard on 'The Sopranos.' "
