SATURDAY NIGHT LIVE CLASSIC "MORE COWBELL"

with guest host CHRISTOPHER WALKEN

in the spoof of the recording of...

blue oyster cult's smash hit "Don't Fear the Reaper".

After a series of staggering defeats, Blue Oyster Cult assembled in the...

...recording studio in late 1976 for a session with...

...famed producer Bruce Dickenson.

And luckily for us the cameras were rolling.

Alright guys. I, I think were ready to lay this first track down.

By the way, my name is Bruce Dickenson

Yes, The Bruce Dickenson.

And I gotta tell ya fellas, you have got what appears to be a dynamite sound!

Comin' from you Bruce, that means a lot

Yeah, I mean, you're Bruce Dickenson.

This is incredible. I can't believe Bruce Dickenson digs our sound!

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

Alright. Here we go

"Fear," "Don't Fear the Reaper" take one. Roll it.

Alright!

Here but now they're gone

OK. Break! Break!

'k. Stop

Um, Bruce, could you come in here for a second, please?

What is it?

That, that was gonna be a great track! Guys, what's the deal?

Uh, uh, are you sure that was sounding okay?

I'll be honest, it was sounding great. But,

I coulda used a little more cowbell.

Go.

- Let's take it again. And Gene. - Yeah.

Really explore the studio space this time.

You got it Bruce.

I mean, really. Yeah.

Explore the space.

I like what I'm hearing.

Roll it.

STOP!

Stop. Bruce. I'm sorry. Could you come back in here please?

Fellas. Now, we, we just wasted 2 good tracks.

This last one was even better than the first!

Well it's just that I find Gene's cowbell playing distracting

I don't know. If I'm the only one, I'll shut up.

No. It's pretty rough.

You know, I could pull it back a little, if you like.

Not too much though. I'm tellin' you, fellas,

you're gonna want that cowbell on the track.

You know what? It's fine. Let's just do the thing.

Ok. Roll it.

Here, but now they're gone

- COME ON GENE! - NO, YOU COME ON!

Hey guys, you know...

That, that. It doesn't work for me.

I gotta have more cowbell!

DON'T BLOW THIS FOR US, GENE!

You're being sel... You're being so selfish, Gene.

CAN I JUST SAY ONE THING?

Say it, Baby! Just say it!

I'm standing here & staring at rock legend Bruce Dickenson.

I'm the cock of the walk, Baby!

And if Bruce Dickenson wants more cowbell, we should probably give him more cowbell!

Say it, Baby!

And Bobby you are right. I am being selfish.

But the last time I checked, we don't have a whole lot of songs that feature the cowbell.

I gotta have more cowbell! Baby.

And I'd be doing myself a disservice, and every member of this band...

...if I didn't perform the hell out of this!

Guess what!

I got a fever!

And the only prescription...

...is more cowbell!

Thank you Bruce.

I knew you... I think if, if I just leave, and uh maybe I'll come back later, we can lay down the cowbell

Come on, Baby.

Gene wait!

Why don't you lay down that cowbell right now...

...with us...

...together?

Do you mean that, Eric?

He speaks for all of us.

Thank you.

Babies, before we're done here,...

...you'll all be wearing gold-plated diapers.

What does that mean???

Never question Bruce Dickenson.

Roll it!
