I would have picked 37 in the opening sequence, because it is one of the least mellow numbers on the Mellow Number Scale. These are numbers that work well in rock music lyrics, but especially so in blues songs. Stagger Lee didn't carry a .37 pistol, for example. Steely Dan never sang Hey Thirty Seven, even 18 years into their career. 666 however, when divided by 37 is 18, which is a mellow number. Therefore, the Beast, by the distributive property of mathematics, is mellow, which is what makes him a great deceiver.
