@bustermk2 I may be WAY too easily amused, but I cannot stop laughing imagining ANYONE "taking up" the cowbell. . . . I keep thinking about a music store setting where a guy with a sweater, a mustache and a small room is very seriously attempting to explain the dynamics of this instrument when properly played.
@mhrnicek There aren't many, usually a G/F of a band member (like tamborine) or the cow bell is played sporadically by the drummer (percussionist) in intros etc, and rarely carried throughout the song.
Honestly I've always been a BOC fan and loved this song but not until I recently saw the "more cowbell" skit did I even realize it was on the track.
Probably a testimonial to SNL's writers (and will ferrell's physical comedy genius)that something so subtle turned out such a subject of hilarity.
@fozzyisjerich0 sorry man i have never heard one of your records. so i apologize for voting you down..However this song was a metaphor. kind of like if you were trying to get your lady to go surfing with you and she had watched jaws to many times. ok
@fozzyisjerich0 Ah, it's really you, isn't it Eric?! I see you around Harold C. Black's fb wall from time to time. Your music was the part of the soundtrack of my teen years in the 70s! Thanks for the great music! :-D
hahaha any5dollarfootlong is so fucking right i saw the snl skit before i listened to the song all the way through haha i personally think they need MORE COWBELL!
@juansihi= He wears a black robe, carries a scythe, kind of like a big curved knife, has a skull face, speaks with a Swedish accent, somtimes Jamaican, and hangs around with two little kids. Also, he's bad at Twister.
awesome, i was wondering where the funniest skit on tv was. Turns out its not on youtube. Remember when youtube and snl used to kick ass? Remember how creative expression ran freely? Man, the TSA got a hold of that too.
i went to McDonald and ordered a hamburger. I was very disappointed with what i got. i went back to the cashier with a grave look upon my face and when she ask whats wrong I plopped the sandwhich on the counter looked her dead in the eye and said " not enough cow bell....." and walked away.
