Everyone knows Blue Oyster Cult is famous for FM radio staples such as "Godzilla", "Don't Fear The Reaper", & "Burning For You". The writers of Saturday Night Live came up with the idea that an influential producer (Christopher Walken) thought he could add to the band's iconic sound with.......cowbell.
Jimmy Fallon, Horatio Sanz, Chris Kattan, Chris Parnell, & Will Ferrell are the band members, with Ferrell wielding the cowbell. Portions of this skit have been used by the Tri-City Valleycats to rally the baseball team over the years.
Walken was the host du jour the night this premiered in April 2000, and had become something of a cult favorite himself from appearing in a Fatboy Slim video.
