And a good day to you sir! A friendly neighbourhood blogger named Affy dropped by yesterday and posted up what many of you have been asking for and i have not been able to deliver as of yet since my video copy is like 50 megs, but here is the full Windows Media version of the Blue Oyster Cult - Behind the Music SNL skit, of which this site is completely inspired and named after, with Gene playing that cowbell like there's no tomorrow! Give it a spin and tell me it's not the funniest SNL sketch in existence - enjoy - Thanks Affy!
Posted by scotty at January 08, 2003 12:06 AMVideo can be seen at http://www.vimeo.com/clip:17746 . Grab it or www.Snag-it.com while you can as they are trying to remove it from from everywhere on the internet.
Posted by: ASMILINDOG on December 16, 2006 04:14 PMParsody is from the Blue oyster Cult song "Don't Fear the Reaper". They play this video on the big screen at Texas Stadium during halftime at the Dallas Cowboy games. The whole place goes nuts laughing.
Posted by: ASMILIINDOG on December 16, 2006 04:10 PMI was at an outdoor comedy show last night in MN and they had a really bad band and they started to do this same Blue Oyster Cult song and had this fat bald guy jumping around playing the cowbell..they paused for one second because they kept misreading the music or something so I yelled "I GOTTA HAVE MORE COWBELL!!". Most people didnt get it.
Posted by: wanda on July 13, 2006 02:18 PMI'm French-Canadian and all I can say is PLUS CLARINE!!!
Will Ferrell's hairy gut and that undersized shirt are ridiculously funny. And Walken, well, he's the cock of the walk baby. He puts his pants on one leg at a time, but when he's done, he makes gold records!
Y'all be wearing gold-plated diapers!!!
Posted by: Jeff on May 16, 2006 02:43 AMHey Fella's,,
I put my pants on one leg at a time, just like you.
But when my pants are on,,I make hit records..
Funny Stuff.
Walken and Ferrel are the best..
Stupid question - how do I download the clip??? I seem to only be able to view it, and I want to download it...thanks...

Posted by: Killerov on January 27, 2006 08:11 PMWalken and Ferrell Rule!
Posted by: wayne on January 27, 2006 04:08 PMThis IS by far THE funniest skit I have seen! I just love the way Will Farrell's shirt is way too small and his gut hangs over his too tight pants while he beats the hell out of that cowbell! Explore the space everyone! Avid SNL fan
Posted by: Stephanie on January 11, 2006 10:01 PMawesome, man! don't fear that reaper...
Posted by: scotty on January 3, 2006 05:31 PMJust got a cowbell mounted on my Tama Rockstar drumkit!!!!! More suggestions on songs that would come back with more cowbell?

Posted by: dustin on November 4, 2005 10:55 AMI just got my first cowbell, it rocks! The nieghbors must be about to go insane now since Ive been playing non-stop! gotta have more cowbell baby
Posted by: scott/pippen on October 22, 2005 04:28 PMI need more cowbell
I was at the Adams Avenue Street Fair, in San Diego, California last weekend. During the two-day event, about 80 bands played a handful of stages. As I walked by a group getting ready to start their next song, one of the group's members said into the mic "it needs more cowbell".
Having seen the skit, I broke out into laughter. It seems I was the only person in the crowd that got the joke. It definitely was one of the best skits ever on SNL.
I LOVE THIS SKIT!!! My dad loves Christopher Walken. He got the Best of Christopher Walken on SNL on DVD. It is one of the funniest things you will ever see on DVD. I even ordered a shirt that says "More Cowbell" on it. I love this skit. Even though a lot of people know this skit, it is still very unpopular. WE NEED TO SPREAD THE WORD!!! My dad and I watch that skit all the time. I show it to all my friends. "I gotta fever, and the only perscription is MORE COWBELL"!!! WALKEN RULES!!!
Posted by: Josh on August 25, 2005 12:56 AMLet's get some merchandising going. How about some coffee mugs, Halloween costumes, etc.
Posted by: Darren on August 15, 2005 03:44 PMyes guy. i have that video clip on this site too - i think it's about a 5 year difference. check the 'cowbell sketch' category for that clip. \m/
Posted by: scotty on August 5, 2005 12:51 PMHave you guys seen the video from when Will Ferrell comes out playing the cowbell during a Queens of the Stone Age number? Does anyone know what the time span was between the cowbell skit and this number?

cowbell avatars for everyone!
Posted by: ben on July 21, 2005 07:10 PMThis is by far the best skit Will ever did on SNL. On the same topic, about a year ago I say someone with a Will avatar hitting the cowbell. Does anyone know where I can get this avatar?
Posted by: Squad Car on July 13, 2005 11:00 AMThis site is great but it needs more cowbell!!!!
Posted by: frankthetank on June 28, 2005 08:01 AMhello
Posted by: jeff on June 28, 2004 01:14 PMCOWBELL I LOVE IT!!!
I shake my cowbell naked in my stationwagon and then drive over cedar hedges to avoid parents who hate me, yet I still shake the cowbell at them as I drive away in my '72 480 CI sationwagon.
Nothing can stop my car or my cowbell!!!
I wish I could join a cowbell support group to help me cope with being a cowbell fanatic.
THANK YOU FOR POSTING THAT URL!
I've been looking forever for that video.
Do you have any idea what the song name is though?
gold plated diapers!

Posted by: topjimmy on February 25, 2004 05:27 PMNot only did i watch Ryan Malcom sing backup for my friend adam, preforming mm's epic 'lose yourself' @ kickass karoke in Toronto, but i also saw a full rendition of the greatest skit ever. Props boys, you know who you are, because of always...the first rule of kick ass karoke is you dont talk about kickass karoke.

Posted by: Rock andor Roll on January 28, 2004 02:08 PMThank you. I was out at dim sum with a couple of girl, and one girl said she'd called her mom to ask if she needed anything from the store. "Yes. More cowbell."
I almost shot barbecue pork bun out my nose. One girl hadn't seen the skit, so was very lost. Now I'll be able to show her. Thank you.
Posted by: dan on January 26, 2004 11:28 PMWoot! I've been looking for this one forever, heard about it so many times...
However, did they know what they were talking about calling the producer bruce dickinson?

Posted by: Brendon on April 16, 2003 11:36 AMHey all! If you want to see what members of Blue Oyster Cult thought about the greatest SNL skit of all time, read my exclusive interview with their guitarist/vocalist Eric Bloom!

Posted by: maddy on January 14, 2003 05:14 AMI hope it's worth the 25 minutes this is going to take me to download over my superslow connection! :p
Posted by: maddy on January 14, 2003 04:11 AMI have never seen that sketch before and it is damn funny BUT... I would have to say that the SNL sketch with Mike Myers as that hyper-active kid in the harness that's tied to a jungle gym with chocolate smeared all over his face is a definite must-see as well. Oh, and by the way
FINNY I NEED MORE COWBELL!!!
