“Don’t Fear the Reaper” is a 1976 song by Blue Oyster Cult. It’s famous for the 2000 “More Cowbell” skit on Saturday Night Live. GQ just published an oral history of the song.

Will Ferrell turns 55 today.

After “More Cowbell” aired on SNL in 2000, he said, Christopher Walken couldn’t escape cowbells. Folks would ring them at Walken’s B'way shows. Waiters would ask if he “wanted more cowbell.” “I think he was really mad at me.”pic.twitter.com/AmpnkKZqwr
