      Maybe not the best, but Will Ferrell has contributed to some of the best skits in SNL history. Roxbury, Spartan Cheerleaders, Short Shorts for USA, Celebrity Jeopardy, Harry Caray, Robert Goulet, the list goes on.

    Don't Fear the Reaper is a great song. Per Wikipedia:
    Released as an edited single (omitting the slow building interlude in the original), the song is Blue Öyster Cult's highest chart success, reaching #7 in Cash Box and #12 on the Billboard Hot 100 in late 1976. Critical reception was positive and in December 2003 "(Don't Fear) The Reaper" was listed at number 405 on Rolling Stone's list of the top 500 songs of all time.[4]

    Blue Oyster Cult is a real band from Long Island. They were moderately successful with this song being their biggest hit. The people on stage are not the group. They are SNL cast members. When they were preparing for a tour, they would often play at local Long Island clubs as "Soft White Underbelly." So they wouldn't draw big crowds. But everyone knew their alter name so that became ore of a joke than good in practice. The lead singer Eric Bloom is Howard Sterns cousin. He is also from Long Island. Christopher Walkin played the record producer. He is infamously known for being on the boat with Robert Wagner and Natalie Wood when she mysteriously drowned after a night of drinking.

    Before this skit no one thought of this song as a cowbell song. It has been played thousands of time on the radio since 1976 and the cowbell was so faint I don't know if I ever realized it had one until this skit. Now it's hard not to hear it. This is what makes the skit funny, but it's also why some people don't find it funny. They don't know that the cowbell wasn't prominent when played on the radio. That's the skit.

    Walken said regardless of all of the movies he's done and the many things he's been apart of the thing he gets the most from people is "More Cowbell". You haven't done Blue Oyster Cult, Don't Fear the Reaper? It was their biggest hit.
