Ramble On - Or How I Get Through This Life

I Got the Fever

January 23rd 2008 05:35
In a BEHIND THE MUSIC parody from SNL, Christopher Walken played a famous producer insisting that "More Cowbell" is the key to making Blue Oyster Cult's "Dont Fear the Reaper"
a success. SNL Video

This sketch first aired in 2000 and it still makes me chuckle. I came across this great geeky website geekspeakweekly.com and their "The Cowbell Project" Link to project


Well looks like BOC has been good sports about the "Need More Cowbell" Washington Post article and why not? If you guys have seen BOC in person recently... they need all the positive press that can get (ouch!)

Here are some of my favorite songs with cowbell

Def Leppard "Rock of Ages"


Talking Heads, "Crosseyed and Painless"


The Rolling Stones, "Honky Tonk Women"



Strawberry Alarm Clock: Incense and Peppermints


Bryan Ferry, "Slave to Love"


Andrea True Connection, "More More More"


Beastie Boys, "Hey Ladies"


Grand Funk Railroad, "We're an American Band"


Rocky Horror, "Sweet Transvestite


Porno for Pyros, "Pets"

I'm afraid we have mostly different tastes in music, Mis, unfortunately, but you certainly give good value for money. Pay well, does it?

Miss,

You learn something everyday.

It was such a joy to see the Honkey Tonks again, wow he was never that young... and aah Frankenfurter? What a great flashback ... I couldn't hear the cowbells, but I certainly could see them and enjoyed watching that clip again *lol* ... I should hire that out again one day, it was such a silly film.

Love Bryan Ferry and hope all's well with you.

PS Mis,

I think Chris W is one of the funniest men on the planet and i loved this skit. He just gets better and better and I hope you have had the pleasure of seeing him in *envy* with JB.
