MadTV did a hilarious skit centered on this song. Anybody seen it?

This is not the typical radio version, and the aforementioned cowbell is less pronounced in the mix!
More Cowbell indeed.

Fortunately, I had given up watching SNL long before that skit. Unfortunately, it seems inescapable, to this day. |

I had the exact same thought, gets a notch up on my rating for making me laugh. "More Cowbell !!!!"  |

That's funny! I saw Aerosmith booed offstage in Springfield, Il. in '84. Tyler was doing coke onstage and eventually fell off. What a trip. |

Saw BOC a bunch of times in Chicago. I still don't get why, with all the good stuff BOC released, Bill only plays 4 songs. If The Red and The Black is good enough for the Minutemen to cover, seems to me its good enough for Bill to play. C'mon Bill, how about Wings Wetted Down or something besides their final album where they had already started running out of ideas, or their post-mortem compilations put together by a desperate label and the A&R men?

Blue Oyster Cult = Soft White Underbelly. Saw them on a bar tour under that name in the late 70's. Awesome show but there wasn't nearly enough cowbell.

Weird, this song was totally eighth grade for me too. But my eighth grade was probably 30 years later...
