Pretty much anything Christopher Walken is involved in will turn out good.

How ‘More Cowbell’ Became a Classic ‘Saturday Night Live’ Sketch

Step 1. Put Christopher Walken on it. He's had a bunch of very strange, funny skits. This one, the census taker, Colonel Angus, the Pranksters (I pranked him to death with a tire iron), the trivial psychic.

It’s not well known, but a herd of cows calmly grazing in a meadow overlooking the Atlantic Ocean heard that cowbell emanating from a television on a luxury yacht and charged off a cliff to follow that cowbell resulting in the deaths of over 200 cows.

Jerry Stanker was a witness to this event.

“The cows fell off the cliff like Cocoa Puffs falling into a bowl of salty, blue milk.”

Here are a few rules for a doing a perfect Christopher Walken impression.

1) Always pronounce one syllable words using two syllables.
2) Pause in a middle of sentences. Not all the time, however, lest it sounds repetitive.
3) Crack your voice occasionally. But again, not too often.
4) Draw out the last syllable of sentences, but not every time. Just occasionally.
5) Use a New York accent. This is maybe the most difficult but still very important rule.

Now, practice using the following (ignore rule #2 in this case):
Come on!

“.....and a fittingly bizarre Christopher Walken performance.”

A “normal” Christopher Walken performance would have sounded better. No need to be redundant.

when I see walken I always wonder if he talks with that cadence in his normal life.

Here he is at the age of 25 in Hawaii Five 0. Not as pronounced

More than anything, I believe it was the delivery of the dialog by Christopher Walken. Same as with William Shatner, their mannerisms and delivery of lines are unique and memorable.

notably they do not ask walken his thoughts on the skit.

he has said fans still come to plays he is acting in with cowbells. he wishes he had never done the skit.

It’s become a political metaphor for “digging a deeper hole”, and it really works for that.
