Hey, here’s a good question for you Simpson fanatics.  
In the episode where Homer ends up as the chief of police for Springfield, towards the end of the episode, when fatony meets his mafia buddies and are driving to Homer’s house, theres a sweeeeet song playing while he’s driving  
Who knows the name of the band or the name of the song???  
Thanks for the help  
😃

Cheers

I think the episode is called “Poppa’s Got a Brand New Badge”. Can’t find the name of the song at the moment though…

It’s the theme song from the Sopranos I believe.

The name of the song is “Woke Up This Morning”, btw, from the album “Exile on Coldharbour Lane”, by A3.
