“Evidently Chicken Town”
One of the best aspects of The Sopranos is the soundtrack of each episode. This past week’s episode ended with this sort of rapid-fire, Mancunian-accented rap-hop track called —I now know— “Evidently Chicken Town.”
I knew I had heard something very like this song before, but couldn’t quite place it. But as soon as I googled up the lyrics to it and saw a picture of their author —John Cooper Clarke— I remembered that he is the guy walking around in the intro to the 1979 Joy Division video “Transmission.”
Check it out. It’s great stuff.
