You really gotta respect how each season had intro music that matched the theme/energy of that season...this season was all about war and shaking things up and the theme song definitely represented that...absolute chaos was about to break out.
Finished the wire recently for the first time. What a series! Just like The Sopranos, Season 3 is the best of the series. The introduction of Colvin and Carcetti, Hamsterdam, the rise of Marlo, and the downfall of Avon and Stringer all made it so dang good and unpredictable. Also, “Cheese, who’s your dog?”
@@kevinkibble8342 imo sopranos s4, despite having imo arguably the best season finale, is the weakest sopranos season. Maybe I should rewatch the show, but when I watched it I felt that the pacing was weird during s4
Season 3 was not the best season of the Sopranos. It had great episodes, but main story with Jackie Jr. Was mediocre and finale was so so. It suffered from Livia's actor passing away. Season 2 is the best Sopranos season - Big Pussy and FBI storyline, Matt and Sean, Richie Aprile, gambling storyline, Livia still around.
@0:27 to 0:35 the Segway from crushing the vials with the shoes to the "Target Crime Reduction" powerpoint and a BPD officer just walking by putting his hat, the COMSTAT manuals, and the rug being rolled over whatever was there before just has this feeling to it that characterizes the season in so many aspects. it just shows that the game is all about covering up the eyesore and optics optics optics. And what is perfect is in that 8 second span you hear "you got to keep the devil, way down in the hole", and it flows together sooooo perfect.
Just to add (2 years later) to this nice comment; After the rug gets rolled open there is 'dope on the table' as kind of an excuse for people to forget what just got left under the rug. ''Just forget the increase in crime, we got dope on the table'' kinda.
I love the references to the Barksdale-Stanfield war. The boxing, the dogfighting, all the shots of dead bodies and blood, the comstat murder numbers, all the guns that are shown etc
0:55 - 0:57 The cut between zipping up the body bag to the pan of the Bodymore Murdaland wall is so god damn good. Shows of how much blood just gets spilled over the season and the overall issue of the murder rate being so high.
Best Intro. Hands down. I listen to it every episode. It's the only one I don't skip through. Aside: I never really noticed how much Aaron Neville sounds like Cleveland Brown, though. Just dawned on me; now, I can't unhear it.
@@thelimon4338 I read that sentence and it looks like incoherent babbling. I’ve seen the wire, but what that guy typed looks like somebody drunk or high wrote it.
This was the meat in the potatoes of The wire season 3 it just got harder and better absolutely this is the best season of The wire and I watch has thousands of times and I can't stop season 3 of The and season 4 and season 5 of The wire
I watched a ton of tv shows. The Wire is the only show i never skipped the intro, not even once. This one, S3, is my favorite tho. Sorry Tom, gotta give it to the Neville brothers on this one
I won't say best tv ever because some idiot would become angry and start talking about how some other tv show eg. sopranos or twilight zone or twin peaks etc were the best
1. Breaking Bad 2. The Wire 3. The Sopranos 4. Twin Peaks 5. Game of Thrones 6. Oz 7. Lost (seasons 1-4) 8. The Walking Dead (seasons 1-5) 9. Sons of Anarchy 10. 24 My top ten
I am very happy when I say I watched this serie but I feel so sad when I know I have only 9 seasons left before I finish the whole show... so fckn sad shhiyyyyyyyyyyy
What? Season 4 was arguably the best season of any television show ever. 5 wasn't perfect but it wasn't unbearable to point where I'd say the show fell of its still better then 90% of Tv despite its dip in quality.

San Yates never thought about that, but it actually makes sense
good observation. season 4 was about the school system and had the most youthful vocalist.
@@fcukausername season 2 was about the docks and it had the worst singer lol
@@Shade571I thought that it was alright although I definitely hold this theme (3) as the best
@@dannymain542 my ranking of the songs is exactly like ranking the seasons lol
1. Season 4
2. Season 1
3. Season 3
4. Season 5
5. Season 2
Season 3 is a masterpiece
It's a total shame they never won 1 award
@@jennycheeks9215 Fuck the Emmys. 2019 had their worst ratings in years also.
Season three is television at it's best.
Agree
Okay i love House and nothing against Madmen but how td do either of those shows even compare to any season of The Wire???
This was my fav intro version out of all the seasons! Had me singing along every time
Agreed. Especially toward the end with the horn
If ya walk with JEEE-ZUUUUUU-HUH!!! Still sends shivers through my whole body.
And how he says "at his commaaaaaand" 😁
@@gpl992 yea, that was the part there
"And you don't have to worray if you hold on to JEEE-ZUUUUU-HUH haaaaand
And you'll all be safe from Satan when that thunder roll" ....

Omar story.. the new York guy... the detectives and them stories
Sopranos Season 5&6 > Sopranos Season 3
Wire Season 4 > Wire Season 3
The most pivotal of all the Wire seasons. You really see a transition of power on all levels.
I think Season 4 is the best Sopranos season though.

The shot of the officer walking by the COMSTAT screen is always cool to see
I love the references to the Barksdale-Stanfield war. The boxing, the dogfighting, all the shots of dead bodies and blood, the comstat murder numbers, all the guns that are shown etc
Best season ssshhhhheeeeeeiiiittttt
sheeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeit the 4th season intro was better though
I got some memories from that season that still make me smile, yo!
Clay Davis?
Much obliged
4th season
0:55 - 0:57

This is my favorite version.
One of the best Wire intros
definitely in top 5
There's only five you cheater :^)
ehhh i think its the worst but the other 4 are so good its hard to beat
@@kdizzle901 I think the clips they use are better in other seasons but I think this is the best version of Way down in the Hole
The best*
The helicopter camera shots and the sensual zooms along electrical wires is my favorite part in these
this is the best theme out of all 5 seasons
No it’s between season 4 & 1
I agree. This season's opening stands out to me the most.
Facts
This & season 4 are the best intros
Definitely
Best intros for the best seasons
Season 1 Has the best intro
Most soulful intro out of any of them ❤✊🏾
Season 3 brought a fresh new energy that was a noticeable change of pace from season 2 and it was great imo.
The Wire is.. was.. and it always be will be.. my favorite show
my personal favorite. season 4 is a very close second.
1:17 - that shot whipping up showing us the whole city is probably my favorite shot in the whole series.
This song is so smooth
Best intro music ever!!...i came loop this all day
Best into by far, so godamn soulfull
And then that Sax sounding single too!
Seasons 3-4 are masterpieces
Meh I hated s4 intro. Seemed so amateur
Everyone talking about season 4... I still think season 3 is way better
I didn't liked season 4..
Rony Baroni u got problems then
HAMSTERDAM
both s3 and 4 are fantastic
Now this sounds more like it last season the damn song sounded like the Cookie Monster was singing it
funny enough, he wrote the song. it's the worst version to me.
@@dubdeuce1517 who’s he, the Cookie Monster? Lmao
@@BayAreaMike99 lol sound like it. Dude name is Tom Waits
Best Intro. Hands down. I listen to it every episode. It's the only one I don't skip through. Aside: I never really noticed how much Aaron Neville sounds like Cleveland Brown, though. Just dawned on me; now, I can't unhear it.
Best season IMO cuz it had the war and Hampsterdam both 2 of my favorite sub plots in the Wire
You know everything.. the kids they work.. the police stuff Omar story ...the New York guy... stringer bell and and and and so many stories
@@ronybaroni2452 what the hell are you talking about?
ade wilson you act like you haven’t watched the wire anyone who watched the wire knows what they are talking about

@@adewilson132 Man fuck you be polite, not everyone’s first language’s is this disgusting thing you call English.
Best of all :)
+FloidMr Season 3 is the best season!
agree
Season 1 intro was the best by a mile, but I'll give this second place.
The BEST intro
I would have loved to seen a video of the Neville Brothers singing this down in a Subway tunnel... sound effects and all.
The best intro of the series
I agree defiantly the best and my favourite season for sure
This was the meat in the potatoes of The wire season 3 it just got harder and better absolutely this is the best season of The wire and I watch has thousands of times and I can't stop season 3 of The and season 4 and season 5 of The wire
Best season out of all of them
Uma das melhores aberturas de série
Greatest show of all time
S3 and S4 are the best just finished watching the series baked every episode!🔥👀👌
I watched a ton of tv shows. The Wire is the only show i never skipped the intro, not even once. This one, S3, is my favorite tho. Sorry Tom, gotta give it to the Neville brothers on this one
1:02 Love how the "way down in the hole" coincides with the audio frequency on the monitor
'JEEEZAAAAAS' always kill me
underrated hard af theme
Second best season intro.
Best intro, best season.
This is my ringtone
This is the best intro behind season 5
Best intro of them all.
Is There a full version anywhere? 😭
Favourite one
Show was great all around but season 3 was the best
Season 4 was slightly better
That's when Avon came out!!!!
They gonna talk to me about money laundering?? In WEST BALTIMORE?
SHEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEIIIIITTTT
Who else saw the first season intro is very similar to breaking bad them ?
Right?
WE. OWN. THIS. CITY.
1:04 I love it brooo
That’s when Avon got out fucken straight nice piece
Season 3 is the most traumatic for me. School kids intro, Idris Elba killed off, into to Marlo...it just gets worse.
school kids wasn't until season 4
Lol i always imagine ervine burrell singing this
Second best season, 3rd best intro
What's the best season and intro in your opinion?
the first 34 seconds sound like ervin burrell singing the lyrics
Anyone ever notice the Pelosi flyer in this intro?
I guess a subtle way to show Nancy Pelosi is originally from Baltimore and her father was the mayor in the 50's
1:06
@1:22 best part
1.25x speed and it’s more interesting
Season 3 was the shit!
These are tombs....
Who did this version ???
Tom waits
Sorry if im late
IF YOU WALK WIT JEEEE-ZUSSSS
I won't say best tv ever because some idiot would become angry and start talking about how some other tv show eg. sopranos or twilight zone or twin peaks etc were the best

After this season the show fell off . #Ripthewire
What? Season 4 was arguably the best season of any television show ever. 5 wasn't perfect but it wasn't unbearable to point where I'd say the show fell of its still better then 90% of Tv despite its dip in quality.
Season 3 is great but the intro kinda sucks
worst version of the song and 2nd best season....not saying its bad just not as good as the other versions
Worst of the 5 intros
Season 5 da worst bruh
@Faults You ain't lying, season 4 intro is torture
Faults prolly WMD
This is the 3rd best season overall on the show.
But worst opening theme out of all 5 seasons
Second best season intro.
