TV and Tunes: More Cowbell

So, several years ago on SNL (Saturday Night Live), they did a skit with Christopher Walken and Will Ferrell where Walken keeps saying he needs more cowbell in the song. I thought it was stupid when I first watched it.   http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_Mie9hhQTUM


But, then I realized that one of my favorite songs, Just the Two of Us by Bill Withers and Grover Washington, Jr., had cowbell in it. And recently I discovered another song that has cowbell in it - Funkytown by Lipps, Inc. So, I looked online and found out that I had never noticed some of these songs that I like also have cowbell in them:


Just the Two of Us by Bill Withers and Grover Washington, Jr.
Funkytown by Lipps, Inc.
Man in the Mirror by Michael Jackson
Goodbye Earl by the Dixie Chicks
Jive Talkin' by the BeeGees
Working for the Weekend by Loverboy
Rhythym is Gonna Getcha by Gloria Estefan and the Miami Sound Machine.


There were several others that I have that they listed as having cowbell, but I only listed the ones that I could actually hear the cowbell.
