It is believed that the use of this work qualifies as fair use under United States copyright law when used on the English-language Wikipedia, hosted on servers in the United States by the non-profit Wikimedia Foundation, where: The sample is being used for commentary on the recording in question. It contributes significantly to the encyclopedia articles it is used in (listed under the heading "File links" below) in a way that cannot be duplicated by other forms of media. The sample is short in relation to the duration of the recorded track and is of an inferior quality to the original recording. No other samples from the same track are used in Wikipedia. There is no adequate free alternative available. A more detailed fair use rationale may be provided by the user who uploaded this recording. Any other uses of this recording, on Wikipedia or elsewhere, may be copyright infringement. If you are the copyright holder of this recording and you feel that its use here does not fall under "fair use" please see Wikipedia:Copyright problems for information on how to proceed. To the uploader: please add a detailed fair use rationale as well as the source of the work and copyright information.

Fair use rationale for this sound clip:

1. Its use in The Wire (TV series) adds significantly, since it is the theme song for the show's fifth season;
2. Its length is only thirty seconds (the full length of the song is about four minutes, and the length of its use in the show's opening sequence is over a minute and a half);
3. It does not infringe on the commercial value of the original music recording, since it has been reduced in quality by compression and been overlaid with sound effects from the opening sequence;
4. It does not infringe on the commercial value of the television program it was recorded from, since it is presented without the accompanying video and includes no dialogue, acting, etc.;
