The Wire: Who's On Third?

Just realised in a moment of party-shuffle clarity that I have the Tom Waits song Way Down In The Hole on the album Frank's Wild Years. I somehow didn't realise it was him singing the theme tune on The Wire (season 2 only, but it's his song sung by The Blind Boys of Alabama and The Neville Brothers on seasons 1 and 3 respectively. Check out the Neville Brothers catchy URL).

Not only that, but it's clearly the song sampled for the 3rd Bass classic Soul In The Hole.
