Cowboy Bebop Episode title

Anyone notice that the titles of the episodes for the bebop songs seem to be song titles.


Now i'm not sure if its true

But


one of the episodes is

sympathy for the devil -rolling stones


the film is
knockin on heavens door


can anyone help me see if its true for them all?

 

Yeah,all the episodes have a title that has something to do with music or movies.Not necissarily a particular song,though.

Examples:

Asteriod Blues - Blues being a style of music.
Stray Dog Strut - A variation of the Stray Cat's song "Stray Cat Strut"
Honky Tonk Woman - A song by the Rolling Stones if i'm not mistaken.
Gateway Shuffle - a reference to "the shuffle".
Ballad of Fallen Angels - Ballad being a type of song.
Sympathy For The Devil - A Rolling Stones song.
Heavy Metal Queen - Heavy Metal being a type of music.
Waltz For Venus - Waltz being a type of dance.
Jamming with Edward - an album(by ?)
Ganymede Elegy - Elegy being a type of melodic poem.
Toys In The Attic - Song by Aerosmith.
Jupiter Jazz parts 1 and 2 - Jazz being a type of music.
Bohemian Rhapsody - Song by Queen.
My Funny Valentine - a song (no clue who sang it).
Black Dog Serenade - Serenade being a piece of music played at night.
Mushroom Samba - Samba being a type of dance.
Speak Like A Child - A song(no clue who sang it).
Wild Horses - Song by the Rolling Stones(?)
Pierrot Le Fou - foreign film.
Boogie-Woogie Feng Shui - Boogie being slang for dance.
Cowboy Funk - Funk being a type of music.
Brain Scratch - Scratch.........you know.Like a "DJ".
Hard Luck Woman - Song by KISS.
The Real Folk Blues Parts 1 and 2 - A song by Muddy Waters.

As you can see,the show seems to be heavily influenced by Western music.

 

i'm pretty sure that asteroid blues jammin with edward and mushroom samba are definite song titles as is Waltz for venus.


real folk blues is also the ending title songs name... meaning the end (its the end of series and the ending song clever)

 

music!

There are a ton of music refences in Bebop. In the show there are great quotes about creshendoes and musical interludes and crazy stuff like that. The music obx refence in BFA and all kinds of other things.
