Hey Nancy!   
      
    NB> I'd guess it has a catchy tune, to go with the lyrics....?   
      
   Yes.  I think the kids these days call it industrial music or at least it is   
   heavily influenced by that genre ... if indeed it is a real genre.   
      
    NB> That's as likely as anything to make it succeed as a TV theme song   
      
   I've never seen the TV show but I am aware of it's existance.  The little TV I   
   watch is more news than entertainment.  I am more of a radio person especially   
   CBC Radio One which is more talk than music.  That is where I heard the   
   interview with the author of "Woke Up This Morning".   
      
   BTW despite the name Alabama 3, the band is British.   
      
   Life is good,
