Gotta find more cowbell.

Woke up this morning with one of the oddest thoughts in my head.

Part of it I guess is I still had 'Jane Jane Jane' running through my head from listening to it on the radio a couple days ago, but I remember listening intently to the end part of the song, and trying to discern if they were using cowbell or not. It didn't sound like it. It did sound like the drummer was rapping on metal now and then that wasn't part of the traditional drum set.

So I got to thinking, what other songs out there use cowbell, even if only at the end part.

First and foremost of course is Blue Oyster Cult's ... ehem... cult favorite, Don't Fear the Reaper. But what else? One that popped into my head was Beck:Long skirt, short Jacket.

Anyone else have ideas?|||When I think drummer and cowbell, I think Courtemanche...
