An Important Message About Cowbell Fever
It’s sweeping stages across New England — and it’s good for you!
“The only cure for cowbell fever? More cowbell.”
Such was the advice from The Bruce Dickinson as portrayed by Christopher Walken in the 2000 Saturday Night Live sketch, “More Cowbell.”
In the sketch, Will Ferrell (who co-wrote it) portrays Gene Frenkle, a fictional cowbell player for Blue Öyster Cult. As they record “Don’t Fear the Reaper,” Frenkle’s cowbell playing begins to annoy the other members of the band, until Dickinson steps in and asserts himself as needing “more cowbell” because he has a fever for more cowbell, and the only thing that can cure it is . . . more cowbell!
