PF500 pre-empts, by noting the song is a "favorite frat-boy punchline thanks to Saturday Night Live." I'm not sure what PF500 was going for here. Are they angry that people don't take this Blue Oyster Cult song more seriously? It's tough to argue that "More Cowbell" isn't funny, even if you don't think it deserves the lionization some have given it. Skewering VH1's behind-the-music at a time when it desparately needed skewering was a necessary thing. PF500 doesn't even say it wasn't funny; it just goes for the fratboy punchline wherever it can, I guess.
The song is actually quite nice, the creepy guitar solo exploding half-way through somewhat powerful if you have it on loud enough.
The semi-lobotomized vocals give the suicide pact lyrics quite a bit of umph.
It's not bad at all.
I do have to say that I thought the cowbell was mixed quite a bit quieter than I had thought it was.
