You know I found out the famous cowbell song and band was real today

[JohnKleeb]

I was like no way. Yes, I am dumb and slow.

[RevolutionaryActs]

1. John...Johnny... Kleeby sweetie... that's so sad.

You really didn't know who Blue Oyster Cult was??

[JohnKleeb]

4. I thought it wasnt a real band

I know, I am pitiful

[pres2032]

2. "Don't Fear the Reaper?"

it's a great song. you should watch Stephen King's The Stand. It uses that song in the best opening to a movie EVER!

[JohnKleeb]

5. I heard that movie was good

[pres2032]

7. it's incredible

Gary Sinise, Ossie Davis, Molly Ringwald, Rob Lowe, etc...

it's long as all get out, like 8 hours, but it's really good. and like i said, has the best opening EVER!

[JohnKleeb]

10. Damn thats long

[pres2032]

16. yeah, naturally it's broken up into 4 parts i think

but it was on TV once as the whole thing.

[JohnKleeb]

19. Yeah probably

[Swede]

8. He even quoted the song at the beginning of the book.

Came the last night of sadness
And it was clear she couldn't go on
Then the door was open and the wind appeared
The candles blew then disappeared
The curtains flew then He appeared

[pres2032]

11. sweet! i never read the book, but that's cool!

[Radical Activist]

3. LOL

That's like half the joke man.

[JohnKleeb]

6. whats the other half?

gold platted diapers? :shrug:

[Radical Activist]

[Radical Activist]

29. No, but

I have seen others.

[RevolutionaryActs]

31. Uncle RA...

I like cowbell. :evilgrin:

[Radical Activist]

34. Is that somehow

dirty in a way that I don't understand?

[RevolutionaryActs]

35. No.

I was going to say something dirty, but I decided not to. Hence the evil grin. :D

[Radical Activist]

41. Well in the future

feel free to send dirty messages.

[aQuArius]

48. What about ... "I'm Burning For You" ... ????

That song doesn't ring a (cow)bell? John, you're killing me, lol.

[Radical Activist]

14. This song came on the radio yesterday

I was with a friend and even though she knew about the skit she thought I was nuts. I couldn't stop laughing and quoting it. Later that night we were listening to a bar band and she goes, "You know what this band needs? More Cow Bell." What a babe.

[JohnKleeb]

15. You gotta love a girl with humor

Just gotta

[RevolutionaryActs]

17. Damn... no one will ever love me then. I'm so humorless....

:think:

[JohnKleeb]

18. smartass

[RevolutionaryActs]

22. What? I am dead serious here.....

How dare you mock my pain! :cry:

Life is pain, Princess! Anyone who says different is selling something.

Oh whoa, the Princess Bride thread seeped in there somehow... :o

[JohnKleeb]

24. If youre gonna lie to us and say youre not funny

You dont DESERVE the right to see me in a long red haired whig :).

[RevolutionaryActs]

25. Well you're just mean.

[JohnKleeb]

26. You know I do that to make you realize that youre better than you think

but you are so funny. I am looking for black men who want to be white women too.

[RevolutionaryActs]

28. LOL!

That was a good one. :D

[JohnKleeb]

30. It was

I thought it was funny, and even Michael Jackson thought it was funny, remember?

[RevolutionaryActs]

32. Yup

I'm not sure why they thought it was funny though...? :shrug:

[JohnKleeb]

33. Could it be education?

[RevolutionaryActs]

36. haha well I just would have thought that since they

love Michael Jackson so much and he's being oppressed like the Jews in Germany(:eyes:), that they would have found it offensive. :shrug:

[JohnKleeb]

37. Thats making fun of a Bush on SNL skit but yeah

You would think that they would been offended by what you said but they said it was quoth the funniest thing theyve seen in a while.

[RevolutionaryActs]

38. MAYBE!

They thought it was funny because Michael Jackson didn't really have tons of plastic surgery and doesn't' look like a white woman? :o

[JohnKleeb]

40. I dont know but it seems to me they had issues

They compare what hes going through to the holocaust but then laugh at your joke, I dont get it.

[Arugula Latte]

20. You must be a youngun', eh?

eom

[JohnKleeb]

23. most definely

[tridim]

21. It's kind of a scary song

but I really like it. The guitar riff is sweet.

[DBoon]

27. I feel old. I feel really old.

I think I will go to bed early tonight.

[xmas74]

39. I used to work w/ a paramedic who would play the

song enroute to calls all night long. It seemed really funny at the time.

[Withywindle]

42. BWAHAHAHAH! Oh, you're so cute!

They were my absolute favorite band when I was in junior high. Saw 'em live a bunch of times in the early 80s.



(Still love that song, still have most of their albums)



MORE COWBELL!

[JohnKleeb]

43. I seriously had no idea

I am talking with my dad in the car today about how its interesting that some of the most funniest performances on SNL have come from non comedians and I brought up the cowbell one, and hes like yeah its a good song too, I was like huh blue oyster cult is a real band, and hes like yeah.

[Withywindle]

44. They're still around, you know...

...kinda weak now, haven't made a really good record in a long time. But damn, do they still tour a lot!

[JohnKleeb]

46. do they really use cowbell and does bruce dickinson

really make gold plated records.

[hfojvt]

45. You have never seen Bill and Ted's bogus adventure?

After they have their match with death, one of them says "Don't fear the Reaper".

[JohnKleeb]

47. no thats the one I didnt see

I Saw the time machine one as a little kid and loved it.

[hfojvt]

49. Ah, it is just terrible

how today's young people are not exposed to the classics.

[MrSlayer]

50. My suggestion to you is to go see them live.

Buck Dharma rips on the guitar and for being pretty old they still rock hard. Far superior to the garbage music of today.

[realisticphish]

51. you didn't know Blue Oyster Cult

existed???? Get thee to a record store!

damn, man, you're making us kids look bad!
