	The official CowBell Mafia Thread-Don't Fear the CowBell Cowbell n : a bell hung around the neck of cow so that the cow can be easily located One of the most mysterious instruments ever created has been the legendary Cowbell. From the beginning of time, the Cowbell has been one of the most overlooked instruments that has ever participated in any kind of musical theatre production and that is nothing to be proud of. But times have changes..... A few years ago, Saturday Night Live did Justice to the Cowbell and made it one of the most famous inventions ever invented (haha) thanks to Will Ferell and Christopher Walken! Here is the gag.... Behind The Music: Blue Oyster Cult Bruce Dickinson.....Christopher Walken Eric Bloom.....Chris Parnell Buck Dharma.....Horatio Sanz Alan.....Chris Kattan Bobby.....Jimmy Fallon Gene Frenkle.....Will Ferrell Announcer: After a series of staggering defeats, Blue Oyster Cult assembled in the recording studio in late 1976 for a session with famed producer Bruce Dickinson. And, luckily for us, the cameras were rolling. Bruce Dickinson: Alright, guys, I think we're ready to lay this first track down. By the way, my name is Bruce Dickinson. Yes, the Bruce Dickinson. And I gotta tell you: fellas.. you have got what appears to be a dynamite sound! Eric Bloom: Coming from you, Bruce, that means a lot. Buck Dharma: Yeah. I mean, you're Bruce Dickinson! Alan: It's incredible! Bobby: I can't believe Bruce Dickinson digs our sound! Bruce Dickinson: Easy, guys.. I put my pants on just like the rest of you - one leg at a time. Except, once my pants are on, I make gold records. [ the group laughs ] Alright, here we go. "Don't Fear the Reaper" - take one. [ exits into the control booth ] [ the group begins the song. Bobby slaps the drums, Eric jams his guitar, and Gene bangs on a cowbell. ] Eric: [ distracted by Gene banging the cowbell ] Okay! Wait! Wait! [ the group cuts off their instruments ] Bruce, could you come in here for a minute, please? Bruce Dickinson: [ stepping out of the booth ] That was gonna be a great track. Guys, what's the deal? Eric: Are you sure that was sounding okay? Bruce Dickinson: I'll be honest.. fellas, it was sounding great. But.. I could've used a little more cowbell. So.. let's take it again.. and, Gene. Gene Frenkle: Yeah? Bruce Dickinson: Really explore the studio space this time. I mean, really.. explore the space. I like what I'm hearing. [ the group starts the song again, as Gene bangs more wildly onto the cowbell ] Eric: Okay, wait! Stop! I'm sorry. Bruce, could you come back in here, please? Bruce Dickinson: [ stepping out of the booth ] Fellas.. now, we just wasted two good tracks! That last one was even better than the first! Eric: Well, it's just that I find Gene's cowbell playing distracting! If I'm the only one, I'll shut up. Buck Dharma: It was pretty rough.. Gene Frenkle: You know, I could pull back a little. If you'd like. Bruce Dickinson: Not too much, though! Fellas, I'm telling you - you're gonna want that cowbell on the track! Gene Frenkle: You know what? It's fine. Let's just do this thing. [ the band starts the song once more, with Gene banging the cowbell right next to Eric's ear ] Eric: [ stopping the song again, fighting Gene ] Come on, people! Bruce Dickinson: [ running out of the booth again ] That.. that doesn't work for me. I gotta have more cowbell! Alan: Don't blow this for us, Gene! Bobby: Quit being so selfish, Gene! Gene Frenkle: Can I just say one thing? I'm standing here, staring at Bruce Dickinson! And if Bruce Dickinson wants more cowbell, we should probably give him more cowbell! And, Bobby, you are right - I am being selfish. But the last time I checked, we don't have a lot of songs that feature the cowbell. Bruce Dickinson: I gotta have more cowbell, baby! Gene Frenkle: I'll be doing myself a disservice, and everybody in this band, if I don't perform the hell out of this. Bruce Dickinson: Guess what? I got a fever! And the only prescription.. is more cowbell! Gene Frenkle: Thanks, Bruce. But I think, maybe if I just leave.. and, maybe I'll come back later, and we can lay down the cowbell. [ starts to leave the studio ] Bruce Dickinson: Aw, baby.. Eric: Gene, wait! Why don't you lay down that cowbell right now. With us. Together. [ everyone agrees ] Gene Frenkle: Do you mean that, Eric? Buck Dharma: He speaks for all of us. Gene Frenkle: Thank you. Bruce Dickinson: Babies.. before we're done here.. y'all are gonna be wearing gold-plated diapers. Alan: What does that mean? Bruce Dickinson: Never question, Bruce Dickinson! Roll it! [ exits back to booth ] Eric: [ ready to lay the complete track down ] 1, 2, 3, 4. [ the band starts up again. Close-up on Gene as he bangs the cowbell to freeze-frame with graphic: "In Memorium: Gene Frenkle: 1950-2000" ] After a while, the Cowbell was forgotten.....until three days ago. Admiral-Snackbar-81 and I started making referrences to the Cowbell in the Star Wars Episode III: Spoilers Allowed Board. After being warned not to keep the joke going, we thought it was time to take matters into our own hands. Now the future is here.... We are the CowBell Mafia. Feel free to come in here and appreciate the genius of the CowBell. I am Darth_Malt, you can refer to me as Don CowBell. To my left is ApolloSmileGirl, my enforcer. To my right is Admiral-Snackbar-81, minister of propaganda. You would do well to give us all props for our knowledge of the CowBell. Anyone who wishes may become members of the CowBell Mafia. I have to warn you that it is blood in, blood out. Once in, you are CowBell Mafia for life. Enjoy!
