Die eingefleischten Fans der
Sopranos wissen es sowieso - die anderen sollten am Ende jeder Folge einmal genau hin hören, denn der Abspann bietet jedes mal einen anderen, zur Folge passenden Song.
Dabei gibt es aber auch Ausnahmen. So hört man in der Episode
Full Leather Jacket das Geräusch einer Beatmungsmaschine und eines EKGs und im Serienfinale
Made in America nur Stille. In den Episoden
Commendatori ,
Whitecaps und
Cold Stones werden mehrere Musiktitel gefeatured. Und in der Episode
A Hit is a Hit wird die Credit-Musik von der fiktionalen Band Defiler gespielt.

The Wire ist in vieler Hinsicht eine ganz außergewöhnliche Serie, auch was die Eröffnungssequenz betrifft. So wurden die Intros an das in der jeweiligen Staffel untersuchte Milieu von Baltimore angepasst. Das geht soweit, dass sogar die Titelnummer Way Down in the Hole in jeder Staffel variiert wird. Ursprünglich wurde der von Blues und Gospel inspirierte Song von Tom Waits für sein Album Franks Wild Years aus dem Jahr 1987 aufgenommen.
