There isn't a lot to say about the song itself. It's a driving blues kind of a number with a growling sax melody. As far as I'm concerned this is and always will be the theme song. I dig the groove of this song a lot. In season nine, the song was re-recorded by Blues Traveler and lyrics were added. It's not bad, but it's just not what I remember the opening of the show as. You can here the version with lyrics at the bottom of this post.
On a side note, if you play saxophone in a rock unit of any kind, this is the tone you should be shooting to acquire. There's a big difference between the way a sax sounds in an orchestra or wind ensemble and the way it sounds in a rock setting. I've played with several guys who played pretty good solos, but were still missing that tone.
