What Is The Best Use of Cowbell In A Song?
Rich and Clint have a fever, and the only prescription is more cowbell. This week's episode is inspired by one of the great SNL skits of all-time, from April 2000, in which Christopher Walken's "Bruce Dickinson" tells Will Ferrell's "Gene Frenkle" that he needs "more cowbell." Rich and Clint explore the greatest use of cowbell, from Marvin Gaye to Beastie Boys. Featuring special guests Jeff Symonds and Todd Chuba.Part of Pantheon Podcasts.
