Is "Tank!" an adaptation of Emerson, Lake and Palmer's song "Tank"? One must admit the two sound very, very similar and have a similar structure but damned if I can't find any written evidence on the web that they are so. I was wondering if anyone else noticed the similarity in the songs and wanted to engage in some research to see if this was true and, if so, if would be information worth adding to the article? —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 67.162.162.61 (talk • contribs) 01:26, 2006 January 8.

Actually, it's quite the other way around. Emerson, Lake, and Palmer's version in a remake of the original. I beleive that it was an attemp at remaking the song with synthesizers thrown in the mix that escalated into its own product, however; for that I would need some verification. If anyone had this information it would be great to add to the article. On the other hand, if it is that different, maybe the Emerson, Lake, and Palmer song should have its own article?

Are you kidding me? The ELP song "Tank" was released in 1970, when Yoko Kanno (the composer of Cowboy Bebop's "Tank!") was six years old. I seriously doubt she wrote "Tank!" at such a young age, and if she did, I doubt ELP ever caught wind of it before 1970. Funkeboy 08:47, 8 March 2007 (UTC)

Anyone know if it is actually "Spike's" voice in the opening? It doesn't sound much like him to me.
