These speed graphs, along with the numerical coordinates calibrated, indicate the speed movement Woke Up This Morning of the theme for the HBO series, The Sopranos. With a mean speed of 89.5 beats per minute, Woke Up This Morning by A3 (Alabama 3) falls right on the cutting edge between the Meanspeed music theory categories, of Renewal, 85-89 beats per minute, and Enthusiasm, 90-97 beats per minute. Many people have searched among the iTunes versions of the song in order to download it—this far, however, the song that is used is only available on Sopranos CD’s. We tend to hear the song as a straight speed most likely made with an electronic/digital drum track (“drum loop”) with no speed changes at all–where the reality is that even when these is a drum machine track (or five, in many cases), the song itself still forms a speed of its own.

The Little House on the Prairie? Landon was a Jew, and a target of the grotesquely terrorist-in-chief, the midget Iran dude.

composer, WHITE CHRISTMAS

Irving Berlin

The Iranian President would kill Newman or Landon or Berlin anyone else he considered “Jewish.” Yet, because the world depression has so spun the public’s mind out of control, the idea is: Kill Harrison Ford, Sarah Michelle Geller, Sandy Koufax, William Shatner, Angelina Jolie because the Islamic Fascist Mob Terror Tribe would be placated by that, and then all people would be richer than Bill Gates.

Dream on. Get comfortable. Numb? The war is coming. Very soon.

You woke up this morning. Got yourself a gun.
Mama always said you’d be the Chosen One.

She said: You’re one in a million you’ve got to burn to shine,
But you were born under a bad sign, with a blue moon in your eyes.

You woke up this morning all the love has gone,
Your Papa never told you about right and wrong.

Landon

But you’re looking good, baby, I believe you’re feeling fine, (shame about it),
Born under a bad sign with a blue moon in your eyes.

You woke up this morning the world turned upside down,
Thing’s ain’t been the same since the Blues walked into town.

But you’re one in a million you’ve got that shotgun shine.
Born under a bad sign, with a blue moon in your eyes.

When you woke up this morning, when you woke up this morning,
When you woke up this morning, you got yourself a gun.
