CB music references

[timepiececlock]

Cowboy Bebop is _all_ about the music. Anyone who has watched it knows this.

I made a list.

Show title: Cowboy Bebop - "Bebop" is a type of improvisational Jazz music, for starters.

Episode 01: Asteroid Blues - Blues is a type of music
Episode 02: Stray Dog Strut - I believe this is from a song called "Stray Cat Strut."
Episode 03: Honky Tonk Women - Rolling Stones song
Episode 04: Gateway Shuffle - "Shuffle" is a music reference
Episode 05: Ballad of Fallen Angels - a ballad is a type of song
Episode 06: Sympathy for the Devil - Rolling Stones song
Episode 07: Heavy Metal Queen - Heavy metal is a type of music
Episode 08: Waltz for Venus - again, a waltz is a particular kind of music/song
Episode 09: Jamming with Edward - jamming referrs to music
Episode 10: Ganymede Elegy - an elegy is another kind of song, sometimes a poem, usually sad and/or reflective
Episode 11: Toys in the Attic - Aerosmith song
Episode 12 & 13: Jupiter Jazz (Part 1 & 2) - Jazz is a type of music
Episode 14: Bohemian Rhapsody - Queen song
Episode 15: My Funny Valentine - Frank Sinatra song
Episode 16: Black Dog Serenade - a serenade is a particular kind of song, like a ballad or a waltz
Episode 17: Mushroom Samba - a samba is a Brazillian dance, or the music for this kind of dance
Episode 18: Speak Like a Child - song by Style Council
Episode 19: Wild Horses - Rolling Stones Song
Episode 20: Pierrot Le Fou - dunno about this one.... except I googled it and it seems to be a 1965 film. Huh.
Episode 21: Boogie-Woogie Feng-Shui - boogi woogie is type of blues music
Episode 22: Cowboy Funk - Funk is a type of music, and a general music reference
Episode 23: Brain Scratch - scratch as in to scratch a record, to record music; or in reference to a hip hop DJ
Episode 24: Hard Luck Woman - a Rolling Stones song
Episode 25 & 26: The Real Folk Blues (Part 1 & 2) - Blues again, a genre of music; also, this is the title of the song that's played at the end credits of every episode except the last one.

And, of course, the last thing we see, "YOU'RE GONNA CARRY THAT WEIGHT" ...is most definitely a Beatles lyric line.

That's cool! I've never seen the whole textwritten out like that; thanks.

I am equally in love with CB for the music as for the anime itself.
