Behind the cowbell

All you ever needed to know about the cowbell on Blue Oyster Cult's "Don't Fear the Reaper."

At my funeral, "Don't Fear the Reaper" will be played, and mourners will be given miniature cowbells and asked to play along. So if you're planning to outlive me, don't say I didn't warn you when an usher hands you a cowbell and tells you to start playing.
