Please leave a comment if you've got any info or questions or just want to comment :)


Spotify

I've made a Spotify playlist with everything I could find. Updating as I go. Currently at 760 subscribers :)

Made an account over at WatZatSong? (sndtrksfwtfr) and uploaded some samples. Hope it will help.

Thanks
Just want to thank everyone who's been linking this post all over the web, the reddit link almost doubled my traffic for a day :)
Oh and I just now replied to some messages on facebook, sorry for the enormous delay, never checked the 'other messages' section before. I will now, but you can always comment too.
Major thanks go out to a Jeremiah and to Bendy1 and Jacobwhitt (giving credit where credit is due ).

Other sites of interest
Drake over at http://drakelelane.blogspot.com links to a bunch of tracks on rhapsody, but as non-American I can't listen to it :(

Nora Lee Mandel's blog about the popcultural influence of The Wire:
Mavens nest - The Wire

(09/07/12) Added Baltimore music info from: Citypaper.com. They've also got links to where you can búy the music so visit! I've noted that the episode numbering he used seems different...so either he or I am one episode off. I'll have to check that later..(or let me know in the comments which saves me time)

A piece-by-piece, episode-by-episode look at The Wire:
The Wire blog

Alan Sepinwall gives indepth reviews per episode: What's Alan watching?

Questions!
There have been a lot of questions specifying a specific scene and asking which song is played. Since I don't know the answer but somebody else might. I've paraphrased the questions here:

1.12: I got a decent recording of the audio, but I can't find the track (even googling the lyrics won't seem to help). Check below (at 1.12) for the lyrics.

2.09: Which song is playing in the SUV when Bodie throws the guns off the bridge in The Wire Season 2 Episode 9 around the 10 minute mark.

3.02: What is the song playing while Kima is in the bar?
3.04: What is the song playing in a car that Bubbles is spying on writing down the license plate number of (about 9 minutes and 50 seconds in the ep)?

Other questions:
1) Anyone know what song Marlo has on in the car?: scene.
2) piece of jazz music when marlo and levy talking in the cocktail party? Just before Marlo went to the street and shouts.

Tracklisting:
S1 Theme: Blind boys of Alabama – Way down in the hole

What an impressive effort.

Arjan said...

Thanks, it was fun to do and I could do it in stages :)
And now I can listen back tracks (and rip em with audacity) when I like.
There's loads of great music in there.

I really promise that there's gonna be a Dexter update somewhere this week. Maybe I'll try and make a youtube compilation for it with the music.

very nice , i also a big fan of wire episodes , i have some episodes of season 1 on dvd , the season 1 is my favorite one.this is very good blog .

I was looking for a site for the information about where to download the wire episodes for free and came across your blog and found that your blog is really interesting.

Anonymous said...

I am agree with everyone,It is a fantastic show.The Wire Episodeis excellent series,excellent dialogs, and truly outstanding characters.My favorite character is omar.

Guive said...

can you find out what song is the played while they're driving off after Cheese gets shot in the last episode?

Arjan said...

I will check it out :)

Guive said...

thanks. its the one with the good beat, theres two songs playing I would appreciate it so much

Guive said...

any luck with that song?

Arjan said...

nope, I've tried and ask around on the HBO forums and at the comments of the youtube'd scene but didn't come up with an answer.

I think this might be the other track though.

Diego :) said...

Hi there. I want to know what is the music playing while D'Angelo is getting dressed in episode 6 of the 1st season? It is not on the list so if anyone knows... Thanks. Great blog by the way.

Unknown said...

fabulous effort. it is delight for me to watch the wire online without stupid ads and fun uninterrupted

Arjan said...

just a short update.
I've got all seasons on dvd so I'm better able to check out stuff,

I'm going to pay attention in the end of ep6 (I'm re-watching everything at the moment).

I might try and give the links an update too, step by step because they're probably a lot of dead links.
Also gonna update with a True Blood-link post.

Pascual said...

Muchas gracias..

Unknown said...

Any luck identifying the songs played after Cheese got shot on the Wire?

Arjan said...

sorry to be such a slowpoke in reacting...

nobody seems to know what song they're playing.
Maybe I need to check up on the HBO forums again and or mail some of the people who worked on the Wire, especially the one(s) responsible for the music.

Anonymous said...

Hi! First of all, you've done a great job putting those songs here, but I was wondering what is that song you didn't mention in the season 2 episode 10? It comes after Ziggy shoots that Greek guy and goes back to his car. He starts the car and the radio plays this song while he tries to light a cigarette. The scene can be found somewhere around 30 minutes of the episode. I think it sounds like some rock or power pop from the seventies or the eighties. Does someone recognize that song?

Arjan said...

Hi Henri,

Thanks :)
I'm going to check it out, I know which scene you mean. Might be this weekend though.
I'll make a list of the other questions too. I might even check it on that app that recognizes music if I can't find it easier :)

Mikestr said...

And does anybody know which track is playing when Dukie walks in on Michael and the girl?

Stefan Joseph said...

Awesome list, will be hunting a few of these down for sure!

One song I haven't managed to find is the song played in the departing cars when Slim Charles kills Cheese, Season 5 Episode 10?

You/anybody know what it is? Would be hugely appreciated.

Again, awesome job!

Arjan said...

@ Stefan Joseph
Thanks :)
That song is really hard to find, haven't been able to track it.
The problem with some of the songs is that they're made by local artists and are therefore not big hits and hard to find.

I've been promising to do another update search, might do it today, the HBO forums are probably the best way to go.

Thank you!

Been trying for years to find out who sings the brilliant track playing in Orlando's during the very first episode and now I know - Bill Withers singing 'Use Me' - it's superb.

Thanks again.

great effort for putting togehter all these songs, i just want to know the name of the song used in the very end of the S1E3 when McNultys friend from FBI drives off from the place where they met.Thank you.

Love the list, great job! :) I've been scratching my head for ages to find some of these so thanks. One that isn't listed tho that hopefully you or someone can help out with...Season 2, Episode 6 when Sergei intimidates Cheese, there's a hip hop song playing. Help would be appreciated :)

rachmaninov43 said...

This is regarding season 1 episode 8. Its the scene in the bar with McNulty and Bunk, where Bunk is eyeing up some other woman. The song in the background is not listed here. I've listened to it about 10 times and can't even get any lyrics. Anyway great job on what you have achieved so far! Its a gold mine of info here!

Arjan said...

thanks people! If anyone finds the songs that are missing (as asked above) please do tell!

I've emailed HBO but got no response.

In other related The Wire-news, have a look over at : http://wirefans.com/ They've been busy.

There are a couple of things I'm planning to do this Easter.
1) Collect all questions that haven't been answered and post them.

4) add any new found stuff to the blog as well as to the Spotify list.

Colin Johnson said...

Season 1 / Episode 08: Which song is playing in the background in the scene in the bar with McNulty and Bunk, where Bunk is eyeing up some other woman.
-- Cover of Marvin Gaye's Trouble Man.

Arjan said...

@ Colin: do you happen to know which artist did the cover?

Kumamoto Ken said...

Hi all,

Great job on the listings.

I think the song in Tillman's car at 27:00 in S02E03 is 'So Fine'. I'm not sure on the artist though, might be the Oak Ridge Boys.

Arjan said...

Hi Kumamoto Ken,

Thanks for commenting. I'll try and check it somewhere this week, thanks.

Updated season 2 up to 2.06. I thínk I got the track the play when Sergei intimidates Cheese. Let me know what you think.

jacobwhitt said...

The song you're looking for when Sergei intimidates cheese is "The Game is over- St John

This myspace page is the only place I could find it-


http://www.myspace.com/stjohntheone/music/songs/the-game-is-over-80850457



- A few other songs in The Wire I discovered- Season 1- Episode 9 when Avon is at his club with Orlando and Wee Bay talking about his long day. A song by J live called "Nights Like This" is playing in the background


- Another J Live song called "Satisfied" plays in either Season 1- Episode 11 or 10 when D'Angelo and Bodie are sitting on the couch in the Pit


Arjan said...

Thanks Jacob!!

I've corrected it :) I couldn't play the full song (only 30secs) at myspace(am I doing something wrong?) so I linked to Amazon where you can listen to a more recognizable sample.

Also inserted the info for J Live in 1.09. I've noted down 'Satisfied' by J Live in my notes, I'll check it and insert it in the right episode.

I've been noting down évery scene with music...there's still a lot of blancs to fill in :(

jacobwhitt said...

No problem man :)

And as far as it only playing 30 seconds, I think that's just something they did so people get the full version on Amazon.

This is an awesome page though, and I'm watching The Wire again (Just finishing up Season 1) Because I love the music in it too. So I'll be sure and post all my discoveries here!

Arjan said...

Will be looking forward to more finds :)

I have a hard time skipping through episodes and not stick around and watch more scenes or whole episodes, but otherwise it'll take months to index the scene-song list haha. I'll definately re-watch the episodes again later too.

jacobwhitt said...

Got through season 2 and I'm back with more discoveries. I'm gonna start Season 3 up so I'll keep posting what I find as I go along.

pdoubleu said...

Do you know of a song, I think around when snoop was on, that sounds like a hip hop, school yard song? I know that's Incredibly vague, but can't think of the lyrics. Its about shooting/murder maybe?

Arjan said...

Do you happen to know which episode/season?
If you've got spotify, try skipping through the list, otherwise it's a bit too vague: 1) snoop on, 2 hip hop 3) track about shooting/murder ;)

pdoubleu said...

Definitely to vague. No luck with spotify. I think snoop and Chris are riding together? But still very vague. Thanks for the help. Will have to watch again , and report back!

Arjan said...

Not in my list? Hmm.
Chris and Snoop are quite the duo :)
Let me know if you can pinpoint the track a bit more.

R.A. Huston said...

Hey do you know the name of the song in the 2X12 cold open?

Arjan said...

what do you mean by 'cold open'?
I'll have a look at 2.12, haven't checked it thoroughly yet.
Maybe today, otherwise somewhere this weekend.

R.A. Huston said...

just the very start of the episode, before the credits. The song I mean is right after the HBO logo. Thanks for any help.

Arjan said...

@ R.A. Huston:
I really tried to find it..but the closest thing I could find is:
Musiq - Just friends.

But I'm pretty sure that just isn't it...
I caught the lyric '..I know this might sound strange, but [....]'
and searched for that. You might want to have another extensive go at it...

sv said...

Hey yo, thanks for compiling this! I hear a couple great ones here.

Question - I was just watching this show and I have this one song stuck in my head, it's just an instrumental section of some disco-era song that has these exuberant horns, I'm pretty sure it's playing when you see Orlando before his whole downfall, maybe in his ride, like when he's riding out to meet the guys who turn out to be undercover state police. Any clue would be appreciated, thanks!

Arjan said...

you're welcome :)

Can you name the episode (IMDB puts him in only 7 episodes, if you could point it out..)

I still have to re-watch S1 for the scene-song listing.

HARM CITY GOD 410 said...

What's the song playing in the background when bubbles goes to hamsterdam and has to make bodie re-up also gets himself a discount deal?

Arjan said...

@ Harm city god 410

It's not one of the songs I note in season 3? Checking back I don't know why I'm not 100% sure why I don't have a scene for some of the songs.

I'll check back.

jacobwhitt said...

Hey guys 1 thing I noticed is that alot of the tracks in The show are actually production tracks.

For Example the song the plays when Stringer is over at D's girls house in Episode 2.05 is

"Down with me"- St John
From Black Toast Music


Black Toast Music's website lists their albums that were used for certain shows like The Wire,

so now the trick is just finding what songs were used were.

I'm listening to some on Spotify too from Black Toast and I already heard a bunch that I've heard in The Wire.

Its just a matter of figuring out what episode their in

Thanks! I've added the track and I'll have a look (listen..) too. Added the track you named to the spotify list too. There's currently one other track by St John in the list.

I also followed BTM on twitter, I'll ask if they've got a list of sorts. Never hurts to ask :)

Awesome blog!

S1 E06 when Avon visits the Pit: the theme is called Wax Box Music

Please, help. S1 E08. What's the song playing in the Stinkum's jeep, when Wee Bey with him and Savino takes D'Angelo into resaurant?

Arjan said...

Thanks! Corrected the mistake :)

I'm going to re-watch S1 somewhere in the coming month to at least make the scene list completer.

Willer said...

I am sorry for my english. This is not restaurant, it's a

-Beef run.
-Beef run, where at?
-Pulaski, baby...

About Wax Box. May be it's a Lorem Ipsum the band, not Cytoplastik, isn't it?

In the beef run sound Glen Campbell - Gentle on My Mind (1967).

Arjan said...

@ Willer: going to check that.

Not entirely sure what you meant with the beef run thing..

I can also understand German or Dutch, so if either fits you better?



Willer said...

German or Dutch - no. I study English, but I have difficulties with the transfer of exact sense of what I want to say.

With beef run I want to say that people for each essence thought up the exact name. In 1.05 D'Angelo was in a restaurant with his wife. But in 1.08 he and his crime partners were in the fast-food eatery. Wee Bey called it a Beef run. I have read it in the subtitles.

German Petrov said...

Hi! Can you please tell. what song plays in 3x4 in the club, when Cutty is going to the room with woman?

Arjan said...

@ Willer : I'll get back on it this weekend.

@ Gyptest: hi! I'll try and find out, in hindsight I don't know why I don't have the scenes mentioned (instead of ...). I'll check back this weekend.

Arjan said...

@ Gyptest:

found it. DJ Technics - Neva eva extra.

I've also made a youtube link to it, can't find it on spotify though (the other DJ Technics (My life extra) track playing in the same houseparty ís in the list though).

Jerome said...

Season 2 episode 4: the classical music at the dining room tables is Bach: Brandenburg concertos, probably the 3rd

Arjan said...

Thanks Jerome!
Added it.

Willer said...

Arjan, please add in 1x08: Glen Campbell - Gentle on My Mind. Wee Bey, D'Angelo, Stinkum and Savino celebrate Stinkum's promotion.

But I still wating your help with my question. May I ask you to type the lyrics of this song's fragment? I failed with it.

Arjan said...

@ Willer, added, thanks.

@ the other question, sorry..haven't gotten around to re-watching s1 with Game of Thrones taking up time and life in general...

Checking it now. The things I hear (at least think that's what I hear) are sentences like:

'how many ways can I say it (.......) no means no'
and
'You don't understand, I only got 2 letters to send and it only takes a second.'

'no contest no stress, no second guess'

I tried google and rapgenius.com but can't seem to find anything so far.
I'll add it to the question.
Let me know if you dó find the answer :)

Arjan said...

I also fixed the Cytoplastic ->> Lorem Ipsum + added the youtube (found via your youtube).

If I missed any other questions, please remind me :)

Willer said...

Thanks for your efforts!

I found something on your tip-off

only got two letters, (only) takes a second to say it
no meaning no
no conscience, no stress
no second guess
no bodyguards
no questions

It's a insertion-refrain (chorus) in some rap song (Chuck D - No, Psycho Voyager - No Meaning No).

However this is not the desired songs. Therefore, searching in progress.

Hi!
Thanks for you impressive job!
I'm desperately searching a track wich is on the episode 1.7 (one arrest), at 37.30 mn.

Sorry for my bad english!

Arjan said...

Hi Clem,
You're welcome :)
I'll put it on my to-do list.

As for your English, ah well some minor grammar thingies..it's not my native language either. You should see my French (and that after 5 years of classes...) ;)
I'm sure I mess up my English from time to time on this blog =)

Hey found some stuff

one of the songs playing in Season 5-Episode 10 after Cheese gets shot is
Wiggle it Jiggle It- by G-$tack

Another in Season 2- Episode 8 when Bodie is staking out the opposition is
Gangsta Heaven- St John

Arjan said...

@ Jacobwhitt:

thanks man! I've been wondering about that track after Cheese gets shot for years (and I'm not alone)! :)

I don't know why I didn't put the scene from the Q's to the tracklisting below.

Added both tracks to the spotify list too :)

jacobwhitt said...

No problem! Happy to help! It sounds like there was 2 songs in the background when he got shot. Hopefully the other gets found

Arjan said...

there are 2 songs indeed.
I've put them in the tracklisting..that is, a link to a track that míght be it (see 5.10).

Will have to listen a couple more times though.

Arjan said...

@ Willer:

I added Chuck D to 1.08 (noting that it's a remix)

mattia85 said...

Don't forget "Miss fat booty - Mos def feat. Q Tip"... it's like in the episode n. 10 or 11 in the first season... i don't remember exactly... sorry :)

Arjan said...

Hi Mattia,

Thanks! I'm going to check it out. I'm coming up on re-watching those episodes so I should come across it.

Great listing! I have one question for you or anyone else that may be able to help.

In Season 1 Ep 10 (1x10), Orlando is listening to a song with some awesome horns in it when he pulls up to Troy Wiggins' car. This is the scene where he makes the buy that gets him arrested. Does anyone know the song? There are no lyrics in the short time that it's played, only horns.

Thanks!

Arjan said...

Hey Steve-O,

Thanks! I'm gonna check and see if I can find the info as soon as I can find time, won't be this weekend, but next week should be doable.

Maybe anyone with shazaam or a similar app?

Unknown said...

Shazam is a good idea. I'm going to DL it and give it a go. However, the song clip is only about :20 so I'm not sure if it will work. If it does, I'll post it here.

Unknown said...

I found it with Shazam. In case anyone wants to know:
Season 1 Episode 10 (1x10) at ~8:55 (I'm watching it on VLC which counts time DOWN instead of UP so that is an estimate). The song clip playing from Orlando's car is "Power of the Dollar" by Kool and the Gang. It's an instrumental, there are no lyrics. The horns are fucking amazing.

Thanks for the tip on Shazam and for this awesome listing!

Arjan said...

Somehow I overlooked your last two comments...
Thanks! I will add it!!

Unknown said...

WOW! Thank you so much for this blog.

I have been thinking about the music from The Wire for some time now, just never had the time to do the research necessary to compile a respectable playlist. And, now I have a huge head start.

You've done a fantastic job!

Arjan said...

Always good to hear it's appreciated :)

I'm slowly re-watching S1 and updating the list if I come across things that are still missing. Let me know if you have additional info.

greets,
Arjan

philfyHarry said...

The Chuck D track in 1.08 is No (The Wreck League Massive Remake)

Found it eventually!

Arjan said...

Thanks philfyHarry! I added it.

I should have some more free time soon to re-watch the last episodes of S1 to see if I can update the post even more :)

Unknown said...

Does anyone know this piece of jazz music when marlo and levy talking in the cocktail party?just before marlo went to the street and shout?I've searching it for a long time but couldn't got an answer..

ag93130 said...

Season 2 episode 7 at 46min 50s: The song is Taste of luv from Zee Asha (when Nick is with his girlfriend)

Arjan said...

@ Smith Rudy : I'll try and have a look...not much time the next week though.

@ ag93130 : thanks! Added it to the listing. Will see if it's also on spotify, couldn't find it on youtube.

Unknown said...

I don't know if you missed one on Season 1 Episode 2 or didn't know it it is where Stringer pulls up just as Bunk and Mcnulty are arresting D'angelo

YouTube link: http://youtu.be/_u-60DeHvUU

It is Kool Keith - Make Up Your Mind
And it is possibly and instrumental playing both can be found on Spotify but only the singing 1 on YouTube

Arjan said...

Hey JubblyFiles345,

I've probably missed it since sometimes there can be so many instrumentals I don't note them down for fear I will never get to find out which track it is (for instance the many piano pieces that are played).

But...if anyone finds stuff like this, I'll jump on the chance to add it to the list and to the spotify list :) So, thanks!! Consider it added.

Unknown said...

Can you find the song of season 3 episode 4 where Carver telling the cornerboys they can sell. The song you put is not clear.i tried to search for that rap song that look like 50 cents" in da club" but i couldn't find it by any means also i cant hear the song lyrics from the episode due to foreground sounds.
Could you find it pleeeezzzzzzzzzz

Arjan said...

@ Edd: Thanks for visiting :) I'll try to look into it this weekend.

Unknown said...

Thanks Arjan

Unknown said...

Great stuff

"Tillman is putting dope into Halls cough drop wrappers
Song: Oak ridge boys - So fine (as for the artist: best guess, the Fiesta's sound different)"

Was looking for this song. Did a little digging and found that the artist is actually The Chamber Brothers.

video can be found here:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZAdkQlhDE3M

great song

Wineguy999 said...

That version of "So Fine" in season 2, episode 3 is by the Chambers Brothers.

No self-respecting black man in The Wire would be caught dead listening to the Oak Ridge Boys.

Unknown said...

Hey thank you for this blog it is awesome! I was wondering if you could help me find the song I've been looking for the song plays at the end of season four episode 11 when the owner's wife drops the bomb on her husband about the affair she had with Malik, that scene takes place right outside the club right in front of Malik and his girlfriend.

Hi Pardeep,

I'll try to look into it as soon as I can find the time. Hopefully this weekend or early next week.

I've been quite busy, but I'll try and update all music tips you gave which I haven't added till now. I'll also sum up all your q's which I won't be able to answer because I don't know (yet), directly into the post.

I think I will be able to manage to get in an episode or 2-3 this weekend for checking.

Also, if you yourself have a very complete tracklisting from a different tv-series? Let me know, I watch a lot and might want to subscribe :)

Now I could be wrong about the placement of this, but that song is definitely used in either ep 8 or 9.

Arjan said...

Thanks Stud Dookie, I'll try to check it tomorrow and will add it :)

Arjan said...

checked the 1.09 scene, that's not it.

Will check the rest of the episode, but might not have time to check 1.08 before next weekend :(

I will keep an ear out for EZD & OC though.

Hey man, good work on this list!

Any luck finding out the track on s03.e02 about 20 mins in when Bunk and McNulty are in the bar?

eddierapide said...

In S1E4, the song playing in the background while Kima studies and Cheryl complains about the blue highlighter stain on her couch is called "Love Stains" and was penned for the occasion by the show's music supervisor and sound designer, Blake Leyh. I know this because Leyh told me so. After a year or two of being driven bonkers every time I watched that scene and finding nothing online despite copious searching, I figured maybe I should just go straight to the source – Leyh's website. That strategy worked out rather well!

Arjan said...

Thanks! I'll update somewhere this weekend. There are still so many unknowns!!!
