(Don't Fear) The Reaper

I defy any of you to watch this SNL skit and then listen to the Blue Oyster Cult's original version of "(Don't Fear) The Reaper" and not only hear the cowbell.

Ever since I saw that skit all I hear is cowbell when I hear that song. Funniest skit ever, or up there at the very least.

Don't know if anyone else remembers this, but The Holders, the band that played our wedding, used to have a "groupie" that would show up every time they performed at the Longmeadow Carnival back in the day. They would give him a cowbell and he'd stand in front of the stage and bang it while they played. Of course, he had no sense of rhythm. Between him and the guy that was called "The Rock" and alternately "I Love America" because of his homemade armbands supporting the was in Iraq (that would be the FIRST war in Iraq, although please do not take any political connotations from that), who was this old guy who danced like a fool, you had quite a bit of added entertainment!
