The Wire - Way Down in the Hole - Season 4

The intro song of HBO's The Wire - Season 4. Excellent tune, tremendous show.

Originally, at the start of season 4, I wanted a MP3 of this tune for my ipod, as it couldn't be found anywhere, and the (poor quality) video was byproduct..

I like this version of the song the best of all 5 seasons.

This intro from episode 7, "Unto Others" with the quote:
"Aw yeah. That golden rule." -The Bunk

From Wikipedia:
The opening theme is "Way Down in the Hole", a gospel-and-blues-inspired song originally written by Tom Waits for his 1987 album Franks Wild Years. Each season uses a different recording of it against a different opening sequence, with the theme being performed, in order, by The Blind Boys of Alabama, Waits, and The Neville Brothers. Season four's version of "Way Down in the Hole" was arranged and recorded specifically for the show, and is performed by a group called "DoMaJe", made up of five Baltimore teenagers: Ivan Ashford, Markel Steele, Cameron Brown, Tariq Al-Sabir, and Avery Bargasse. Steve Earle will be performing the theme song for Season 5. The closing theme is "The Fall", composed by Blake Leyh, who is also the show's music supervisor.

the greatest tv series ever made, period. easily better than the sopranos, even though season 2 and 5 were kinda weak compared to the others, they were still great.

[CarondeletMerle]

Greatest show ever.

[TheOriginalDogLP]

@TheWarrior2Game7 Totally agree. They are just total different no need to compare.

[50ztej]

this id the best version no doubt

[AuntyBambi]

bring it back

[TheWarrior2Game7]

Why argue over which is the best between the Wire and the Sopranos? BOTH shows are great in their own way, no need to compare everything.

Just finished the second viewing of the series. Best show without a doubt!

[TheSection59]

how many lowlifes exactly are there to round up ?

[sOsSpArTa]

Each season of this show was brilliant and it's extremely hard to say which one is better than the other. But, I definitely think 4 stands out as not only the best season of the Wire but the greatest season of any series or show ever.
