Exit Music (From The Sopranos)
Posted June 12, 2007 11:00AM
We figure network news and every newspaper available have already spoiled Sunday night's ending for those that didn't tune in, so really, you're in no harm here. The show [www.stereogum.com] that kicked off our blog documented obsession with tunes on the tube (actual obsession dates back to the womb) closed shop last night, a bittersweet moment for Sunday night HBO junkies and fans of extended gabagol-scarfing sequences alike. As always, David Chase peppered the final serving of The Sopranos with choice musical treats, the centerpieces coming from Dylan and Journey, with shreds of Sonic Youth and other tuneage along the way. Here's what you heard during your Sopranos party last night, up until the time you banged your TV to make sure it hadn't malfunctioned.
Vanilla Fudge - "You Keep Me Hangin' On"
Tony wakes up; Dante drives Tony to his family; Phil fills up.
Randy & The Rainbows - "Denise"
Tony and Paulie wait for Agent Harris at the airport.
Antonio Vivaldi - "Four Seasons"
Bobby's wake at Vesuvio's.
Bob Dylan - "It's Alright, Ma (I'm Only Bleeding)"
AJ & Rhiannon listen to the song in the car
Sonic Youth - "I Dreamed, I Dream"
Tony and Uncle Pat talk in backroom of The Bing.
Curtis Lee - "Pretty Little Angel Eyes"
Paulie is spooked by a cat at Satriale's.
Credence Clearwater Revival - "I Heard It Through The Grapevine"
Tony offers Paulie a promotion.
Larry Graham - "The Jam"
Neil bears bad news in The Bing backroom.
The Noisettes - "Scratch Your Name"
AJ leaves work and picks up Rhiannon from school.
Kid Creole & The Coconuts - "The Lifeboat Party"
AJ and Rhiannon watch TV.
Little Feat - "All That You Dream"
Tony arrives at a diner and waits for his family.
Journey - "Don't Stop Believin'"
Tony plays Journey on a jukebox.
The quick cut left us jilted for a sec, but the more we think about it, the more we dig the blacked-out ending. Gotta wonder though: Was it Chase's artistic statement on the untidy, banality of life in the onion ring USA, or an open door for a movie? Probably a little art, and a little commerce. Pretty smooth.
