Blue Oyster Cult’s album ‘Agents Of Fortune’ entered the charts on this day in 1976. ‘Don’t Fear The Reaper’ would become their biggest hit at #12 and a 2000 SNL sketch fictionalizing the recording of the song would be placed on the Top Ten Saturday Night Live Sketches, being ranked #9 by Rolling Stone Magazine. Christopher Walken who plays the part of the producer said “I was eating in a restaurant in Singapore, and an Asian couple was at the next table, and the guy turned to me and he said, ‘Chris, you know what this salad needs?’ I said, ‘What?’ He said, 'More cowbell.' Recently a guy asked me if I would say ‘More cowbell’ on his answering machine. And I did.”
