So I just started season 2 of the wire and realized the intro singer changed to Tom Waits. If you've never heard of him I recommend you check him out. Here is one of my favorite songs by him.
Tom Waits actually wrote the intro. song. He just didn't sing it until the 2nd season. Each of the following seasons will have someone different singing it (including Steve Earle who plays Whalon in the show). Nice to see there are Tom Waites fans among this younger generation!
Changing the intro song makes me feel like I am watching a completely different show, which goes along the lines of the dramatic difference season one and season two (so far) is! I am indifferent to the change of the theme song, I guess it need to grow on me to have a opinion of like or dislike for the sudden change. Maybe it is setting some sort of tempo or mood that will be seen in season two
