That Pogues song at the wake scene in season 3 is fucking awesome, the kind of song my Italian ass wants at my own wake/funeral. It's the perfect song for that kind of a guy, in that kind of a job, with those kinds of colleagues.

I also loved when they used Walk the Line in season 2, and the other Pogues song when McNulty's driving absolutely shitfaced in season 2.

The music is incredibly well done.
