Why can't we get accurate information about this?
Because the Internet has been broken by tech "innovation". But no, no he didn't.

on the Sopranos wikipedia page it clearly says the theme song is by "Alamaba 3". Reading the article, it says:
The show's opening theme is "Woke Up This Morning" (Chosen One Mix), written by, remixed and performed by British band Alabama 3.
With no references of Cohen anywhere. So a good chunk of the internet is wrong. Thus why AI shows conflicting information too.
He was a Buddhist who spent a good many years living in a monastery on Mt. Baldy. The Sopranos is exactly the kind of project he wouldn't be involved in.
I mean, the Sopranos is all about people who hurt others for their own materialistic desires slowly losing everything, including their own lives. When it aired it just sort of had this problem among the American public:
Reminds me of how people saw Okja as a simple adventure movie and tried really hard to ignore the message it was conveying about animal rights (the creators even went vegan for the movie but we're not ready for that convo...)
That's weird, in She Hulk series, Wong is living in a kind of monastery on a mountain and watching The Sopranos there and dancing to the theme song (Woke Up This Morning) supposedly believed by many to be sung by Leonard Cohen. It does kind of sound like his voice.
Seems to be settled that he didn't cover it, but damn, I wish he had. Would love to hear that.
I wonder if people are getting mixed up with Cohen's song, The Partizan.
