All right...I live a very sheltered life in the sticks (Yes California still has sticks) and I usually catch up with pop culture just about the time it makes a nostalgia comeback. So, I gotta ask:
What is with the COWBELL?
It originated in a Saturday Night Live skit, where Christopher Walken played a record producer, who repeatedly asked the cowbell-striking bandmember (the band was supposed to be Blue Oyster Cult) for more cowbell. In fact,
he had a fever, for cowbell!For some reason this skit has caught on and is regularly referenced here on FR. It's like hugh and series, and my beeber is stuned. And no, I don't know the origins of those other Freeperisms!
