El fue el personaje que nos mantuvo a Marío y a mí frente a la pantalla de un televisor durante seis largas temporadas en 2011 y 2012. Confieso que alguna vez quise ser cómo él, poder tomarme la justicia por mi mano y liarla parda cuando alguien te toca los cojines. Los Soprano abrió la veda de series de malos que luego se han puesto de moda. Se ve que el mal tiene mucho morbo.
La música que traigo aquí, la cabecera de la serie, me parece una de las mejores cabeceras de serie que he visto y escuchado. Y no tenía nada aparentemente especial. Eran él, su aire despreocupado, su arrogancia de saberse el rey, su ciudad (de la que era el amo y señor) y esa canción...con esa música...con esa letra...que nos abría el apetito y nos ponía en situación de ver esta joya de las series de la televisión.
Si no lo has visto aún y eres amante de las series de la tele, tienes que verla.
No dejes pasar ni un minuto más. Te lo ruego.
You woke up this morning
Got yourself a gun,
Mama always said you'd be
The Chosen One.
She said: You're one in a million
You've got to burn to shine,
But you were born under a bad sign,
With a blue moon in your eyes.
You woke up this morning
All the love has gone,
Your Papa never told you
About right and wrong.
But you're looking good, baby,
I believe you're feeling fine, (shame about it),
Born under a bad sign
With a blue moon in your eyes.
You woke up this morning
The world turned upside down,
Thing's ain't been the same
Since the Blues walked into town.
But you're one in a million
You've got that shotgun shine.
Born under a bad sign,
With a blue moon in your eyes.
When you woke up this morning everything you had was
gone. By half past ten your head was going ding-dong.
Ringing like a bell from your head down to your toes,
like a voice telling you there was something you should
know. Last night you were flying but today you're so low
- ain't it times like these that make you wonder if
you'll ever know the meaning of things as they appear to
the others; wives, mothers, fathers, sisters and
brothers. Don't you wish you didn't function, wish you
didn't think beyond the next paycheck and the next little
drink' Well you do so make up your mind to go on, 'cos
when you woke up this morning everything you had was gone.
When you woke up this morning,
When you woke up this morning,
When you woke up this morning,
Mama said you'd be the Chosen One.
When you woke up this morning,
When you woke up this morning,
When you woke up this morning,
You got yourself a gun.
