According to Pablo Ferro, title designer, the opening title shots were born of remarks between himself and Stanley Kubrick wherein Ferro observed that all machines invented by men have a sexual aspect. In the context of the film, it made Kubrick think of B-52s refueling in mid-air. Originally talking about arranging for a shoot to capture that image, Ferro said he was sure the Air Force had been so proud of the technology that they had filmed the process from every conceivable angle. It didn't take long for him to bring back stock footage in which both men were delighted to see the aircraft involved in the process suggestively "bobbing," "bumping" up and down and swaying in the air as they connect, transfer fuel and then disconnect. The addition of the music instrumental on top heightened the intended effect, and knowing all this makes watching the opening titles quite a different experience. Indeed, the music actually 'punctuates' the refueling rod's eventual withdrawal from the B-52 scene.
