Cowbells

Sometimes things just happen. Like silence in a crowded restaurant. Recently I had back-to-back songs with cowbell pop up on my iTunes random playlist. Quite eclectic collection. I’m sure there are others.

• Dance the Night Away, Van Halen
• Don’t Fear the Reaper, Blue Oyster Cult
• Hair of the Dog, Nazareth
• Lay Lady Lay, Bob Dylan
• Time Has Come, The Chambers Brothers

I’m sure there are plenty more, but these have it pretty front-and-centre.

And whenever I hear a cowbell I think of Gene Frenkle and that Saturday Nigh Live sketch.
