What the Hek is Cow Bell - mentioned in sig.lines

Two members refer to Cow Bell in their signature line .

What is it ........a drug culture term ?:shakehead :green:

It is from a great Saturday night live skit from a few years ago featuring a pretend Blue Oyster Cult jam session. Christopher Walken kept saying "I need more cowbell" or words to that effect.

At least I think thats what these folks are referring to.

cheers

It's probably in reference to a SNL skit with Will Ferrel.....relax

EDIT: Powernoodle is too quick...........

Christopher Walken played the record producer. "More cowbell".
There is a video of it somewhere on the web.

It's something of a running joke on CPF.

Cowbell is the way to go..!

"Guess what? I've got a fever! And the only prescription..... is more cowbell!"

Until I saw that skit, it NEVER clicked that the song has cowbell - for the last few years, every time I HEAR the song I think "MORE COWBELL"

Sigh, never saw BOC on stage, and they are/were semi local - heck, I even knew that if you heard that "Soft White Underbelly" was going to play it WAS BOC (or as it was billed "The Ultimate BOC cover band")

Speaking of "MORE COWBELL" coming to mind when I hear "Don't fear the reaper" - You guys have any songs that bring "popular" images to mind that were NOT intended by the band? One big one for me is with the Stones "Satisfaction" - Mental immage is of someone water sking behind a PBR

"PBR"? Pabst Blue Ribbon?

I saw BOC perform live in Juneau AK. in the early-1980s; I believe the band Nazereth opened for them. This performance was indoors at the Juneau Convention Center, so they could not use fire, high-powered lasers, pyrotechnics, or other horse puckey like that.

Pssst....hey, anybody got any cowbell?

Who's the babe?

Dunno.
