Cowboy Bebop OST 1 - Too Good Too Bad

[TheFungineer]

The drums, I live for these drums.

[talloncloud]

Reminiscent of some New Orleans jazz, love this.

[doc2skate]

This song features a combination of Herbie Hancock's "Chameleon" and Benny Goodman's "Sing, Sing, Sing".

[Wonocva15]

@robin17171

Respect good sir. I love when great music from shows or games are brought to the forefront via high schools and such.

[CausticPainkiller]

How I envy you, I wish my school band to play something like this

[MathanJot]

I cant even explain how many levels this rocks on...

[BenJogan]

at about 0:48 the bass line is very similar to Herbie Hancock's "Chamaleon"!

[MrPoliticalpuppet]

who else thinks this would be great for a racing game?

[llmustafall]

Muito bom mesmo.

[ichibanhahn]

love this

[noobhero78]

BONUS STAGE!!!

[MegaColacho]

i loved episode 4 cause faye and spike were shooting misiles with virus warhead to make humans monkes at ganhymede by terror enviromental group. Faye says having a little trouble? I will help by 80% Spike says 40 % final offer so epic running away from misiles before space gate closes

[Jwend392]

1:35 Love that bari sax.  that takes som serious wind to pull off!

[SakataGintokiSan]

Ten persons don't like music

[Awes0m3n3s5]

It was amazing when the doors to the hanger opened and Doohan and Miles roll out in this old school shuttle with this song blaring

[MrJayZeppelin]

This song actually motivated me to clean my room! Amazing!

[pulpgarfield]

For some reason, this piece of music always makes me laugh really hard.

[raysetiger285]

Oh god the trumpiting for some reason sounds so cheesy to me :) this song just makes me laugh

[Lastdragonrider88]

@raysetiger285 if by cheesy you mean completely fucking amazing then i understand.

[Billy145891]

Shuttle team Assemble!!!

[ek180]

This song had me from 6 seconds in.

[anadryantontine]

Excellent use of the bari sax in this song, takes the place of the bass in a rock band and provides a downright tasty and funky low tone that rounds everything out.

[spitfirez89]

anyone know artists who play jazz like this? just love this type of jazz

thanks

[ehleesah]

@spitfirez89 I'm interested as well :D

[FrankinKal96]

Hey, the trombones in the background at 0:09 are playing the baseline to "Chameleon" by Herbie Hancock.

[thetonebox]

"40-60, that's my final offer!"

"Alright!. . . I get the 60."

[picklemnstr11]

Car chase :P

[AnotherPostcard]

Sounds New Orleans-y to me. That said, I'm probably talkin outta my ass because the most exposure I get to Jazz is from this show and the show "Treme." I'd like to be more qualified to make these kinds of assumptions. Can anyone point me in the right direction? :)

[rendleshack]

This is the song I play when I try to get out of bed.

[TheSMWStudios]

Thumbs up, if you like jazz or bebop jazz. :D

[TheSMWStudios]

10 people were running from the cops and they didnt't have this playing in the background, so they were caught.

[assholemon]

i love classy songs just like this one.

Cowboy OST : one of the best ost based on an anime i've ever heard.

[csw2629]

ha ha

[TheKisame299]

Where can I find this album? Or music, Not the spinoff versions. Does anyone know?

[dracionx]

@TheKisame299 I would try amazon.com

[Cornflakesss]

@TheKisame299

I got mine from eBay. Good luck!

[MAUR1C1OX]

too perfect i'd say

[Krenisphia]

It's amazing what crazy masterpieces humans can conjure.

[billNtedDudes]

Jet: You need to use your boosters to slingshot around.

Spike: Can't.

Jet: What!? Why the hell not?

Spike: Outta fuel.

Doughan: Need a hand?

[Corpsnerd09]

I remember watching this episode on Adult Swim in 2004 and getting me hooked on CB, I had seen Mushroom Samba, partially, and didn't interest me, then I see Session 4... this part was so jam packed with excitement, I now own the entire series and the film, and the soundtrack... Love it.

[robin17171]

Just finished arranging this for my High School's Marching Band. :D It's gonna be a GREAT season!

[sugar0o]

@robin17171 Hey! Link you Marching band's performance!

@nygnsporf Epic!

[VladtheImplier]

@robin17171

Wanna hook a bro up? Please?

[razvan4356]

@robin17171 Have you guys already finished the march and all? If not WE WANT VIDS!!!

[EvilBlackComet]

@robin17171: tape it and put it on YouTube? ^^

[alentris]

@robin17171 Could you upload this, for great appreciation? My band teacher would be thrilled...

[Atanih23]

@robin17171 Give. Me. xD Must play it in my jazz band.

[LadyYaoiGirl]

@robin17171 pleaaase, share! I would love to play this with me band!

[LockePhilote]

@robin17171 What school?

[frintong]

@robin17171 please send me a link to a video of that

[JapanEyedPinoy]

@robin17171 Dude! Gotta see that! :D

[skyguy15]

@robin17171 You are awesome! You deserve a bowl of bell peppers and, beef.

[Needless957]

@robin17171 and u are my hero

[BeLikeBoom]

And episode that uses this song is on right now

[Aacire]

This is what's so great about the music on this show. It fit so well that you just hear it, and you know what scene it is, the dialog, it's like watching with out wayching it. There aren't many show like that where the music & the show are one like that. I know that the music was made for the show, but when the live action movie comes out, I'll listening out for the music cause there's no Cowboy Bebop without the music!

[xanthegreat2]

@Aacire is a live action movie coming out for CBB? i must have been under a rock, never heard of it

[Nyiddle]

Anyone else hear "Herbie Hancock - Chameleon" in this track?

[BloodPoolxCQCx]

@Nyiddle "I need your John Hancock, sir."

"Pfft, It's Herbie Hancock."

[grendelwok]

@Nyiddle Specifically, Maynard Ferguson's cover of Hancock's Chameleon

[kievon]

Yoko is a genius her music along with a few other Japanese artist such as Nujabes and Tsutchie got me back into makin music.

[Beast615]

Doohan was a badass, thank god he trusted spike enough to give him the swordfish.

[billNtedDudes]

Spike: You can't be serious.

Ed: Trust Ed!

Spike: I was afriad you'd say that.

[Scrufyness]

This has to be my favorite song from Cowboy Bebop. Not saying the rest are bad but this is just great.

[ilikemyfatcat]

Doohan: There's still time to change your mind and leave Myles...

Myles: Negative, Blue Sox fans never leave the game early!

Doohan: *smirks and gets ready to go save spike* Let's go!

[rcktnpnts]

why drive when screwing is soooo much better

[wisewarriormuzic]

@rcktnpnts LOL

[tolikechicken]

herbie hancock ftw!!!!! <3

[onionknight777]

I wanna marching band to play this in a show. :D

[MilkweedTheif]

i have to watch this series again. Can anybody tell me what episode this is from?

[Chireidonuts]

@MilkweedTheif It's from episode 19, I think. Whatever episode Spike gets his ship fixed up. This was playing when they were taking the one ship out of the bunker and preparing to launch into space.

[gomu269]

@MilkweedTheif It's also from episode 4 when they're in the gate stopping the monkey virus from reaching Ganymede

[PurpleNight100]

Cowboy Bebop rocks!!

[shimigamisama3]

maby a bass trombone

[sonofdark18]

Yoko kanno- The QUEEN of Jazz. and the sealtbelts are her servants ^__^

[chibot1]

I've asked a lot of people and get different answers but what do you think the brass instrument playing the bottom line is? Tuba or Bass Trombone?

[Daelyas]

@chibot1 I'd wager Trombone... because of the "feel" of the song... but I wouldn't bet that much money on it. Both would work well :)

[pong224]

@chibot1 It's a Tuba..... it's sooo TUBA.

[muitah]

what kind of genre is this type of song.anyone help me? kinda interested in this kind of genre

[StrawhatDawn]

@muitah Jazz; the roots of that.

[blackstar21595]

@muitah bebop/jazz

[tolikechicken]

trombones at the begining sound like chameleon a little :D

[Rattleguitar]

Spike: Hey Jet... Jet: Hm? Spike: You know... I got some whiskey behind the fridge. Why don't you help yourself, bud. Jet: Huh? What went wrong! *Spike with cigarette in mouth, and ligher in jis hand.* Spike: The fuel tanks are empty... there is nothing I can do now. *Spike starts to light his cigarette* Doohan; How bout I rendevouz, and tow you back. In exchange for the whiskey. I heard your conversation. Give me the exact coordinates of the Swordfish. Spike: Doohan! How the hell- *Play*

[CockapooIzAMutt]

@Rattleguitar FUCK YEA

[Fuzzjunk91]

Jet: Don't get hotheaded spike...

Spike: You havent seen hotheaded yet, jet!

[mikatan22]

God I love the horns in the song.

[nygnsporf]

If I ever rob a bank and run from the cops, I want this playing in the background.

[barneycles]

@nygnsporf what are waiting for man. lets go.

[Texarmageddon]

@nygnsporf I know right?

[tempchanja]

@nygnsporf  i agree wholeheartedly

[500YenDevin]

@nygnsporf Don't you mean "when"?

[zerocool08]

@nygnsporf then when you are trying to get away from the police you can have "Bad Dog No Biscuits" playing in the background

[SuperSupraful]

WHOO! RINGTONE!!

[animechaosable]

cooolllllllll

[TheOriginalTrombone]

Do I detect a hint of "Chameleon" in this song?

[mrAdrian01215]

@TheOriginalTrombone

They share the same bassline from about 0:48? and the trumpet sharp attacks as well hmm...

[TheOriginalTrombone]

@mrAdrian01215 You got it.

[elelsey]

@TheOriginalTrombone Good ears man!!! It's b/c it's in Basic Bb Blues and the melody uses the Bb Blues scale just like in the original Chameleon.

[11Sharn11]

@elelsey You friend are AWESOME!!!! Only musicians will get that!

[elelsey]

@11Sharn11 Thanks man!  I appreciate that!!!

[Klefth]

@TheOriginalTrombone Some parts sure sound a bit like it. Ah, so awesome.

[Fuzzjunk91]

9 people obviously didnt have beef with their bell peppers.

[stevewangster]

Reminds me of a song called "Chameleon" which I played in jazz band in my high school.

[kazz330]

@stevewangster played that a lot in jr. high!

[Caledfwlch7]

seems like Vicious made 9 youtube accounts

[spartan7942]

fucking awesome.

[malikjlj]

*9 people failed their high school physics course.

[imthatoneguy16]

wow 9 people built that missle and disliked this song

[ElephantseatShorts]

some major monkey buisness ♥ reminds me of spike flying in space, capturin' some bounties. XD I love this

[SingularlyDatarific]

If I ever get to ride the Space Shuttle (or whatever replaces it), I am BLASTING this music on takeoff.

[Kev95682]

This sounds like good music for when you're monkeying around...

[cbradley1391]

this song sure inspires alot of monkey buissness :P

[Tedluffsyou]

I just realized this song has practically the same bass line as Chameleon.

Also, the Cowboy Bebop OST is orgasmic <3

[Uckb]

8 people didnt want the final offer

[carzz185]

i love faye's face when the missile split the second time hahaha

[cmgreen4]

cowboy bebop just have a freaking fantastic atmosphere.

[snackpeelskin]

a blue socks fan never leaves a game early.

[MrAnimelvr]

I was at a convention with some friends once, we were listening to this OST in my room when i got in a argument with a friend, can't remember what it was over, eventually it got out of hand and we beat the crap out of each other to this tune. True story

[1johpo]

1 missile, 10 missiles, 100 missiles, 1000 missiles...

[tripmine111]

First time I heard this song... I was like

Spike GET THAT SHIT DONE!!! YEAH!

[TheBramblestar]

I have to say, when I listen to this I get shit done.

[B372131]

tight scene, spikes crackin his knuckles.

the bars in silence then all of a sudden a bang breaks loose!

BANG! made the ladies dance, and made em sung a song that theyll never forget><!

[MrBeast842]

@willmaster93 I knew it!

[Skaldicgoth]

i just came

[Minidwarf7]

@Skaldicgoth to a realization that your joke wasnt funny!!!!!!!!!!!

[willmaster93]

*cough* this song screams chameleon *cough cough* still a great song *cough*

[Momentum139]

*crazy terrorist lady singing and fanning herself like a madwoman about to unleash Hell upon some poor space colony with spaceAIDs*

[kswindl]

i was thinking of buying this soundtrack and listening to it in my car...but i'd probably end up driving too fast

[JohnyokoLennon]

@kswindl I thought the same thing!

[YoungChilla74]

@kswindl i was jus thinkin the same thing! lol..

[MatthiasCorvinu]

@kswindl It's ok. If the police come after you, just run. You will be imbued with the power of Spike and get away in a flashy manner.

[Frankenstrat247]

@kswindl if you think that's bad try driving to "bad dog no biscuits"

[heyzeus94]

@kswindl happens to me everyday ha

[AkimboNinjaPWN]

@kswindl wait till they invent space traveling jets.

[dabliuem3nighty]

che colonna sonora eh?

[Swartzvald]

After having a couple shots of liquor this song sounds even better ... if thats possible.

[Stiglitz51]

Faye: Hi There! Having a little trouble?

Spike: Huh?

Faye: I can bail you out for 80%

Spike: YOU'RE INSANE!

Faye: OKAY bye bye now

Spike: ALRIGHT 40% that's my final offer!

Faye: Okay, I get the 60

[bowieluver1]

@Stiglitz51 that's how I negotiate with everybody :]

[SamueLPowerS88]

@Stiglitz51 XD One of my all-time favorite exchanges on the show.

[Stiglitz51]

@SamueLPowerS88 That scene was what got me gripped to the anime lol.

[thaboss32]

@Stiglitz51 negative, blue sox fans never leave a game early

[rodiruns]

@Stiglitz51 Great quote! She's such a vulture... I'll make monkeys out of you ALLLLLLLLLLL!

[uneedrandination]

@Stiglitz51 you sly anime devil

[noobhero78]

@Stiglitz51 My favorite episode of all time!!!

[augustofretes]

@Stiglitz51 They also used when Spike is falling with no fuel! Cowboy Bebop is amazing!

[Iffy350]

I love this song and I love this episode! RIP the real Orbiter Columbia and the crew.

[Arlian666]

come to think of it doesnt joshua redman play a sax number or two for the cowboy bebop tracks?

At least someone told me that? does anyone know if he does and which one(s)?

[xxmitsunexx099]

This song kinda reminds me of Mardi Gras music, or some kind of circus punk! :D

[YaoguaiWretch]

Was this the scene where Swordfish gave out and was heading towards Earth, but that old guy saved him? haha awesome.

[DrCowboyFace]

I listen to music to this music.

THAT'S HOW FUCKING GOOD IT IS.

[jonasbacklund]

seeing the columbia coming out of that hangar makes my skin crawl... Awesome!

[samuraichamploo07]

i was watching the "blue sox" episode early this morning on adult swim,and the "mad Pierrot" episode came on after,does anyone know the name of the theme that played when we say Pierrot's origin in the facility or was that theme even released at all?

[Bebop56210]

@samuraichamploo07 Sure (old comment I know) but it's "On the run" and obvious homage to Pink Floyd's song of the same name...

[delgado290690]

Play this during a plane game(advertising gdm but HAWX) and believe shit will happen its just too awesome XD waaaayyyy tooooo aaaaawwwweeeesssssooooommmmeee­e

[Zeekar]

I wish I could give this so many more thumbs up.

[Tigerbeam2]

When people say john williams is the best composer alive, I just point them here and remind them that he keeps (literally) a shrine to yoko kanno

[firstreality]

hints of chameleon in this thang

[stopthrm]

@firstreality Very Maynard FFergusomn esque...

[pyroguy6922]

8 people sing off-key.

[Vespasian95]

[CrazyKraut20]

@Vespasian95 he, who can read has the advantage -_-

[midnightsun5857]

@Vespasian95 The Seatbelts man.

[DrCowboyFace]

This makes me want to throw small pirate bombs out of a speeding car after a big bank heist.

[Fredjo91]

[Fredjo91]

See you Space Cowboy...

[Aschandil]

[D0g63rt]

Wasn't it a sea rat hugging terrorist clique?

[chuckythekillerdoll]

[ordinaryvanity200]

[mustang750r]

I feel like I should be wearing a zoot suit and standing in a corner flipping a coin as big heist goes down. EPIC!!!!
