Marc in MontrÈal Posted January 14, 2005 Share Posted January 14, 2005 Respect the cowbell! Here's, on top of my head, the best all-time songs that feature, the cowbell. Now I'm not a music buff so I'm askin' for y'all to chip in and built the all-time best-song-that-feature-cowbell list. Here's my contribution: - Don't fear the reaper, BOC: No explaining needed here. - Groove is in the heart, Deee-Lite: Okay theres just like 3 seconds worth of cowbell but the song just wouldnt be the same without. - Push it, Salt N Peppa. A classic. I'm sure the producer who worked on the track was a Bruce Dickinson clone. Now let's hear about yours.... Marc, under the weather, in Montréal Go Bills!

SouthernMan Posted January 14, 2005 Share Posted January 14, 2005 As much as I had to perpetuate this stupid cowbell thing (what's that all about anyway? - don't answer) Honky Tonk Woman, American Band, and Mississippi Queen are probably 'The Big Three'. It's pretty sad if you need a silly in-joke about cowbells to make you think you're part of some elite TBD fraternity. Does it make you feel like you're part of the cool all-knowing crowd? Don't the work week pocket protectors and the gameday face paint make a loud enough statement on their own? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dan Gross Posted January 14, 2005 Share Posted January 14, 2005 Honky Tonk Women - Rolling Stones as a drummer I'm forced to add Moby Dick - Led Zeppelin and then there's Maniac - Michael Sembello (used to do it in pep band...) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cripes Posted January 14, 2005 Share Posted January 14, 2005 I know American Pie is about 78 minutes long, but I swear I've never heard a cowbell in it. But I'm not about to go back and try to find it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

stevestojan Posted January 14, 2005 Share Posted January 14, 2005 Don't you have an IPod? Nothing more than a couple of clicks, baby. 205542[/snapback] I usually keep the iPod hooked up to my home stereo system... At work, I use my cell phone. I have a nokia 6800. Work got it for me because i often have to send e-mails at all times of day, no matter where I am... and it has a full keyboard. Anyway, an added bonus is it has an FM radio built in... but tonight, I will look on the iPod, see if its on there (don't think i added it, can't listen to it more than once a year)...

The elite TBD fraternity didn't participate in the cowbell movement. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
