I think it needs a little more cowbell. Good song.
Best song ever! (Don't fear) the reaper
Cowbell!
One of their best.
This song and burnin for you is great however Godzilla is the best!
Needs more MOOOOOOOOOOO O O O O O O O ! ! ! !
Don't read this because it actually works. You will be kissed on the nearest Friday by the love of your life. Tomorrow will be the best day of your life. However if you don't post this you will die in 2 days. Now you've started reading so don't stop. This is so scary put this on at least 5 songs in 143 minutes when done press f6 and your lover's name will appear on the screen in big letters this is so scary because it actually works!
Come on, alexstonehea r t 6 8 , don't fear the cowbell
This song is about a vampire (ye uneducated cowbell lusting louts) it was also the preface to a steven king book(salems lot)
this song is good
What is wrong w people? Its music!
Everyone of you imbeciles rehashing the same tired Cowbell joke should be shot. It was barely funny the first time and you are no Will Ferrell. Just die already, losers.
All time classic
great song
Song that made me a Blue Öyster Cult fan
ryanmarch82

vibraslap at 3min 10 secs- gotta love it

FDA suggests more cowbell to combat fear of The Reaper.

I really love this song and I don't know why
I found the cow bell yessssssss
MORE.....COW B E L L ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! !
I've got a fever and the only prescription is more cowbell

Will Ferrell's gut! :D
All cowbell jokes aside, that has to be one of the best guitar solos of all time.
You may no longer fear the raper, and though you may now fear the reaper, remember that the cow lies in abject terror of _The Roper_. And the guy who puts the cowbell on. She totally hates that guy.

I got a Fever! and the only prescription is more CowBell Baby!
I am starting to fear the reaper. I used to not fear the reaper, but he keeps getting closer to me with his reapy tool of reapery.

I used to fear the raper. I no longer fear the raper, because, well, I'm too old for raping.
alison.marti n 8 8
this is the best song EVERRRRRR
snl comes to mind...
rosellar
RSVP do fear this reefer song, hit THE ROAD W/FILM CALLED the ROADIE.
SNL did something pretty amazing: they made it so we could never hear this song the same way again. Few tv shows and movies have performed that feat with an already popular piece of music.
kickpedal
Cannot listen to this song without visualizing Will Ferrell whacking away on the cowbell!
I got a Fever! and the only prescription is more CowBell Baby!
Godzilla is one cool tune!
I would say that BOC has other well known songs, such as "Burning For You" and "Godzilla", and that they are not a one-hit wonder group. The words are dark, but I like 'em, and in my opinion the words compliment the melody quite nicely.
hhrothman
classic music,, I agree, words could have been better...thi s is a one hit wonder group..no other song of theirscomes close!Howie
When this song first came out, people were complaining that it was encouraging teenagers to commit suicide.

"Needs more cowbell!"

Don't Fear the Reaper has such a beautiful melody, too bad the words ruin it.

Great in concert with their early laser light show at the Swing Auditorium in San B.
I agree that Agents of Fortune should be shown!
ONE OF THE CLASSICS..." t h e y don't write 'em like that anymore."
lebaron10
I would be doing a disservice to myself and the band if I didn't play the hell out of this cowbell !!!!
I NEED MORE COWBELL!!!!
wow. this actually does need more cowbell
duh lol more cow bell walken rules lmfao
jaulbach2
"It needs more...
.... cowbell" -Bruce Dickenson SNL
