Cowbell

Of the *maybe* 10 minutes I spent watching the superbowl- the highlight for me (though that last catch was pretty impressive) was during Springsteen. Did you see the guy with the Cowbell?? It was frackin' awesome!!

Erin recently posted on FB that she "...wonders if she'll ever be able to listen to Blue Oyster Cult's "Don't Fear the Reaper" again without picturing Will Ferrell in a midriff shirt."

Which was very timely because that very morning I was driving in and giggling because I heard a song with cowbell, (not "Don't Fear the Reaper") and was transfixed on the cowbell. I wondered myself... will cowbell EVER be the same? I mean, really! How old is that SNL sketch, now?

Moving on... I've decided to make a list of all the songs with Cowbell. Topping the list of course, is OBC. But I can also add Bruce and a third thanks to Shazam and my itoy.

  1. Blue Oyster Cult - "Don't Fear the Reaper"
  2. Bruce Springsteen - "Glory Days"
  3. Electric Light Orchestra - "Evil Woman"
  4. MJ song, TBD...

If you know any of these little gems or encounter any, please enlighten me and add to this list.
Why? Because I have a FEVER, and the only PRESCRIPTION... is MORE COWBELL.

in the two week window that the comment function has *apparently* not been working... a couple fine souls have wanted to post comments.

thanks for the emails team, and hopefully this is fixed now.

...and what a cruel trick to TALK about cowbell, ASK you for other cowbell songs... and then you're not allowed to post. shame on me.
