Has the song been already identified and covered that we hear when Mr. C drives up to the 'truckdrivers' in 3.01 (probably got a workover from Trent 'Nine Inch Nails' Reznor)?

Doing a search on the lyrics yielded this (probably better known in the US?): 

American Woman - Muddy Magnolias

Bring the bacan and I'll put it in the pan Got my own, baby life is grand Every move I make is just a part of my plan And I do it just because you said I can't Do I look like, The steppin' French type? I'ma whole lotta grown ass American woman Do I look like, The walk over me type I'ma whole lotta strong ass American woman I know my worth and who I am Mister if you're hard up, I can spare a few grand Hell will freeze over and I'll be damned 'Fore I take orders from any ol' man Do I look like, The steppin French type? I'ma whole lotta grown ass American woman Do I look like, The walk all over me type I'ma whole lotta strong ass American woman I'ma whole lotta, Show stopper, Mississippi, New York city You better treat me proper  I'ma whole lotta, You gotta, Recognise… a real ass woman, if you can't don't bother

I'ma whole lotta,
Show stopper,
Mississippi, New York city
You better treat me proper
I'ma whole lotta,
You gotta,
Recognise a real ass woman, if you can't don't bother, Uh
To all my head strong women
Single mamas with the children
Three jobs and something to prove
Go along and work your way through school
Don't let 'em put you in a corner
'Cuz it's a new world order
You're a star, you're under strife
Make 'em salute you like a flag on the fourth of July
(Make 'em salute you like a flag on the fourth of July)
I'ma whole lotta,
Show stopper,
Mississippi, New York city
You better treat me proper
I'ma whole lotta,
You gotta,
Recognise a real ass woman, if you can't don't bother
I'ma whole lotta,
Show stopper,
Mississippi, New York city
You better treat me right
I'ma whole lotta,
You gotta,
Recognise a real ass woman, if you can't don't bother
I'ma whole lotta grown ass American woman

It must therefore be

American Woman - David Lynch Remix

It's stated in the end credits along with Frank 2000 by Thought Gang (Lynch/Badalamenti) and also a track by Lynch and someone called Dean Hurley.

It's great.

I  really like the quoted part as a way of introducing Mr. C: 'I'll be damned 'Fore I take orders from any ol' man Do I look like....'

This guy is not to be messed with. Reminded me of the 'No Country for Old Men' killer.
