Thought it appropriate to include this video what with me riding as a cow! It’s so many kinds of classic and is appropriately aligned with the madness of riding a BMX from Cape Town to Johannesburg. “I need more cowbell!” is actually code for I need more donations. Now go on and donate to the cause. I need more cowbell. MORE COWBELL!
“More cowbell” is an American pop culture catchphrase originally derived from an April 8, 2000, Saturday Night Live comedy sketch which fictionalized the recording of the song “(Don’t Fear) The Reaper” by Blue Öyster Cult. The sketch featured guest host Christopher Walken asmusic producer ”The Bruce Dickinson” and regular cast member Will Ferrell, who wrote the sketch, as fictional cowbell player Gene Frenkle. In the television special Saturday Night Live: 101 Most Unforgettable Moments, this sketch is moment number five.
