    "Okay, 3, 2, 1... Let's jam"

    BAH-dum BAH-dum BAH-dum ba-da-da

    At the risk of geeking out an already geeky discussion, the intro theme to the Japanese Anime "Cowboy Bebop" is probably my favorite intro sequence of any show in the last 10 years or so. The kinetic intro animation full of guns and cigarrettes is perfectly paired with the percussive brass jazz of "Tank!" by Yoko Kanno, performed by The Seatbelts. Sets the stage perfectly for this western/sci-fi/kung fu/noir/dystopic fusion series.
