More Cowbell - SNL

  • 0:01 - 0:03
    Announcer: After a series of staggering defeats,
  • 0:03 - 0:05
    Blue Oyster Cult assembled in the recording studio
  • 0:05 - 0:09
    in late 1976 for a session with famed producer Bruce Dickinson.
  • 0:10 - 0:12
    And, luckily for us, the cameras were rolling.
  • 0:15 - 0:18
    Alright, guys, I think we're ready to lay this first track down.
  • 0:19 - 0:21
    By the way, my name is Bruce Dickinson.
  • 0:22 - 0:24
    Yes, the Bruce Dickinson.
  • 0:25 - 0:26
    And I gotta tell you: fellas...
  • 0:27 - 0:29
    you have got what appears to be a dynamite sound!
  • 0:30 - 0:33
    Coming from you, Bruce, that means a lot.
  • 0:33 - 0:37
    Yeah. I mean, you're Bruce Dickinson!
  • 0:37 - 0:38
    This is incredible!
  • 0:38 - 0:40
    I can't believe Bruce Dickinson digs our sound!
  • 0:40 - 0:42
    Easy, guys...
  • 0:42 - 0:44
    I put my pants on just like the rest of you --
  • 0:44 - 0:45
    one leg at a time
  • 0:46 - 0:49
    Except, once my pants are on, I make gold records.
  • 0:51 - 0:55
    Alright, here we go. "Fear... Don't Fear the Reaper"
  • 0:55 - 0:56
    take one. Roll it
  • 0:57 - 0:59
    Alright! One, two, three, four...
  • 0:59 - 1:05
    [🎶 Blue Oyster Cult "Don't Fear The Reaper" 🎶]
  • 1:11 - 1:16
    🎶 All our times have come... 🎶
  • 1:19 - 1:23
    🎶 Here but now they're gone... 🎶
  • 1:24 - 1:26
    Okay! Wait! Wait! Stop!
  • 1:27 - 1:30
    Um, Bruce, could you come in here for a second, please?
  • 1:30 - 1:33
    That... that was gonna be a great track. Guys, what's the deal?
  • 1:34 - 1:35
    Uh, are you sure that was sounding okay?
  • 1:35 - 1:37
    I'll be honest... fellas, it was sounding great.
  • 1:37 - 1:38
    But...
  • 1:38 - 1:40
    I could've used a little more cowbell.
  • 1:41 - 1:43
    [Audience laughs]
  • 1:44 - 1:47
    So... let's take it again... and, Gene?
  • 1:47 - 1:48
    Yeah?
  • 1:48 - 1:50
    Really explore the studio space this time.
  • 1:50 - 1:51
    You got it, Bruce.
  • 1:51 - 1:57
    I mean, really... explore the space. I like what I'm hearing. roll it.
  • 1:58 - 2:00
    One, two, three, four...
  • 2:00 - 2:06
    🎶 🎶 🎶 🎶
  • 2:13 - 2:17
    🎶 All our times have come... 🎶
  • 2:20 - 2:24
    🎶 Here but now they're gone... 🎶
  • 2:25 - 2:27
    Okay, wait! Stop! Stop!
  • 2:27 - 2:29
    Bruce, I'm sorry, could you come back in here, please?
  • 2:29 - 2:33
    Fellas... now, we just wasted two good tracks!
  • 2:34 - 2:36
    This last one was even better than the first!
  • 2:37 - 2:39
    Well, it's just that I find Gene's cowbell playing distracting!
  • 2:40 - 2:42
    I don't know, if I'm the only one, I'll shut up.
  • 2:43 - 2:44
    Nah, it was pretty rough.
  • 2:44 - 2:47
    You know, I could pull it back a little, if you'd like.
  • 2:47 - 2:49
    Not too much, though! I'm telling you, fellas --
  • 2:50 - 2:52
    you're gonna want that cowbell on the track!
  • 2:53 - 2:55
    You know what, it's fine. Let's just do the thing.
  • 2:55 - 2:56
    Okay, Roll it.
  • 2:58 - 2:59
    One, two, three, four...
  • 2:59 - 3:05
    🎶 🎶 🎶 🎶
  • 3:12 - 3:16
    🎶 All our times have come... 🎶
  • 3:19 - 3:23
    🎶 Here but now they're gone... 🎶
  • 3:24 - 3:26
    COME ON, GENE!!
  • 3:26 - 3:27
    NO, YOU COME ON!!
  • 3:28 - 3:32
    Guys, y’ know…that…that…it doesn't work for me.
  • 3:32 - 3:34
    I gotta have more cowbell!
  • 3:35 - 3:37
    Don't blow this for us, Gene!
  • 3:37 - 3:39
    [laughing] Quit being...
  • 3:39 - 3:41
    quit being so selfish, Gene!
  • 3:42 - 3:43
    Can I just say one thing?
  • 3:43 - 3:45
    Yeah, baby! Just say it!
  • 3:46 - 3:48
    I'm standing here, staring at rock legend Bruce Dickinson!
  • 3:49 - 3:50
    The cock of the walk, baby!
  • 3:50 - 3:52
    And if Bruce Dickinson wants more cowbell,
  • 3:52 - 3:54
    we should probably give him more cowbell!
  • 3:54 - 3:55
    Say it, baby!
  • 3:56 - 3:58
    And, Bobby, you are right - I am being selfish.
  • 3:58 - 4:00
    But the last time I checked,
  • 4:00 - 4:02
    we don't have a whole lot of songs
  • 4:02 - 4:03
    that feature the cowbell.
  • 4:03 - 4:06
    I gotta have more cowbell, baby!
  • 4:06 - 4:07
    [Audience laughs]
  • 4:07 - 4:09
    And I'd be doing myself a disservice --
  • 4:09 - 4:11
    and every member of this band
  • 4:11 - 4:13
    if I didn’t perform the HELL out of this!
  • 4:15 - 4:16
    Guess what?
  • 4:16 - 4:18
    I got a fever!
  • 4:18 - 4:20
    And the only prescription...
  • 4:20 - 4:21
    is more cowbell!
  • 4:21 - 4:24
    [Audience laughs]
  • 4:24 - 4:25
    Thank you, Bruce.
  • 4:26 - 4:27
    but I think if...
  • 4:27 - 4:30
    I think if I just leave... and maybe I'll come back later,
  • 4:30 - 4:31
    and we can lay down the cowbell.
  • 4:31 - 4:32
    Aw, come on, baby...
  • 4:32 - 4:34
    Gene, wait!
  • 4:36 - 4:39
    Why don't you lay down that cowbell right now.
  • 4:39 - 4:41
    With us.
  • 4:41 - 4:42
    Together.
  • 4:50 - 4:52
    Do you mean that, Eric?
  • 4:52 - 4:53
    Oh, yeah.
  • 4:53 - 4:54
    He speaks for all of us.
  • 4:55 - 4:56
    Thank you.
  • 4:56 - 4:58
    Babies... before we're done here...
  • 4:58 - 5:01
    y'all be wearing gold-plated diapers.
  • 5:02 - 5:03
    What does that mean?
  • 5:03 - 5:05
    Never question Bruce Dickinson!
  • 5:06 - 5:07
    Roll it!
  • 5:12 - 5:15
    One, two, three, four...
  • 5:15 - 5:22
