"I've got a fever! And the only prescription I need is MORE cowbell!!"
😂😂😂
Lmao!!
Long live the cowbell!
Best snl skit ever
That’s right! Watch that video and you will never hear this song the same again. I wonder if they are wearing gold plated diapers, LOL.
"Burnin' for You" - Another great one from Blue Öyster Cult.
That song screams summer to me! I efn love it!!!
Definitely, I agree 👍
Don't forget Godzilla
Huh! I love that song but I never realized it was this group. Thanks for the info !
@@joshbrown8299 yep yep yep plus Astronomy omg ! Somebody with clout talk to him😅
You have to watch the SNL sketch with Will Ferrell and Christopher Walken.
It's called More Cowbell.
And it’s hilarious!
This!
Yes please!!! I have requested both recently!!
YES! “I have a fever, a fever for more cowbell” hahahaha... one of my favorite SNL moments
I've been hearing this song for 40 yrs and i STILL get chills.
That echoey guitar, just sounds so big and space-filling. Nothing like the 70s.
A classic song if you heard it from when it was around
Same!!
Veteran of the psychic wars
BOC are the jam ! Especially for a French Moorcock fan ( But then every Moorcock fan is French;)) . Black Blade and Veteran of the Psychic Wars are AWESOME too !
That guitar solo is like a bolt of lighting in a cloudless night. Terrifying, magnificent, and completely unexpected.
Buck Darma is the man, underrated and on point ❤🎉
Blue Oyster Cult: Don't Fear the Reaper.
Mr Video: don't fear the reefer.
never fear the reefer!!
Depends what kind of reefer 😂
Are we talking truck trailers or train cars? No?
I see what you did there. LOL. Imagine if he did this on 4/20.
Its dont eat the reefer
Obligatory ‘MORE COWBELL!’ 😁
Came to the comments for this comment. Was not let down. Only the cultured will understand 🧐
🤣🐄🔔🤣
Saturday Night Live- Will Ferrell skit 🤣
I’ve got a fever, the only prescription is more cowbell.
STILL NEEDS MORE COWBELL!
If you ever wondered if a band could write a bad ass song about Godzilla, boy oh boy do I have a surprise for you! Blue Oyster Cult - Godzilla
That's a great pitch. I'm buying what you're selling.
Yes!!!
You damn right!
Was my kids fave song at 4yrs old in 96. Yeah, I taught them the good stuff early in life!
Yes!!! have to do Godzilla
you simply can't beat the pure joy of watching someone's first time reaction to classic music, its the greatest
Don't ever apologize for feeling and loving the music my friend!
If you can feel the music, it doesn't mean you're weird, it means your heart is alive!
💗
I feel the the music as well. I also dance around like he does. Love to see others love music the way I do.
Yes!!!
Such a beautiful and creepy af song....classic.
Look out the cover that His Infernal Majesty (HIM) made, it makes it creeper and amazing
Soundtrack of the best Stephen King movie (The Stand)
@@laziojohnny79 forza Lazio!!!!
You're not weird, you're just one of the lucky ones that can feel music in their hearts and bodies. It's a wonderful way to be. ☮️
Well, let's be honest, he is kind of weird, but that's why we love him!😄
Yes!
We're all weird in our own quirky ways
Exactly!
sounds like the type that can get into Metal, as Metal is more what you feel rather than listen to.
Reading up on the meaning...Written by guitarist Donald Roeser. Roeser says, “I was thinking about my own mortality. I wrote the guitar riff, the first two lines of lyric sprung into my head, then the rest of it came as I formed a story about a love affair that transcends death. I was thinking about my wife, and that maybe we’d get together after I was gone.” ‘Valentine’ is a metaphor for mortal love. The “40,000” number was pulled from the air as a guess about how many people died every day worldwide, not how many people committed suicide.”
Thanks for that info!! Peace....
I always thought this was a song about vampires.
@@SirCarcass Hahaha! That's funny!! But, nope, just a song of reflection on life, love and death.... Thanks, that gave me a good chuckle!! ;) ;) Peace...
@@SirCarcass I thought it was the Reaper calling you to your death. But I always thought CCR's "There's a Bad Moon on the Rise" was "There's a Bathroom on the Right" LOL.
@@joankisloski6972 AGAIN.... Thanks for a good laugh! That was ADORABLE!!! ;) ;)
We're all weird bro. The world is weird. You're weird, I'm weird. Nothing is normal, there is no normal. Welcome to the weird world, please make yourself home, put the TV on, play with the dog and I'll make us some poptarts :)
Weird is normal.
Underrated comment!
What flavour poptarts?
Mmmm strawberry or blueberry please...🖖🏻🇨🇦
Mmmm Apple Crisp 🍎 😋 🇺🇸
Is it just me who loves it when someone hears an absolute classic track for the first time?
"I got a fever, and the only prescription...is more cow bell!"
The song is basically just about the fact that death is inevitable and we shouldn’t be afraid of it...one of my all-time favorite songs
According to the lead singer who wrote it, it's about how love transcends death; love never does; it goes on forever.
Like Romeo and Juliet, together in eternity.
You made my day😂❤😎👅🤘 Love your reactions welcome to the world of Rockin' Roll greatest musicians are Rock Bands with exceptional talent musicians. Blue Oyster Cult is one of them great reaction 😎🤘👅😂
Dude your face at 6 minutes in is experiencing the pure greatness we all feel the day we hear this whole song.
Buck and Al blowing his face off.
Heard this song hundreds of times...
Just lost one of my dearest friends - I found her - and this song just hit me in a way it never has before. She passed in her bed at home, riddled with newly found brain tumors. I hope she left her body as delicately as this song suggests...
🙏🏽💜🕯🕊🕯💜🙏🏽
I am so deeply sorry for your loss I do believe there is a better life after this one
God bless you
Respect. Blue Oyster Cult was billed as America’s Black Sabbath. And they even toured together called Black And Blue. A great band still. I see them once a year.
You should hear, 'Burnin For You' and 'Godzilla' by them
Yeah, this song is dark but it is good too
What we Cültophiles refer to as "The Big Three." ;)
Their catalogue is deeeeeep.
You need to do their songs "Flaming Telepaths", "Godzilla" and "Veteran Of The Psychic Wars."
GODZILLA!!!!!! Yesss!
Don't forget E.T.I.
Being stoned as a teen, we'd get to that part in Godzilla and argue if he was saying "god zilla" or "zilla god"
Joan Crawford Has Risen From the Grave
Go go Godzilla baby.
Flaming Telepaths, Astronomy and anything else off of Secret Treaties.
One of the greatest songs ever written.
“Burning for you” and “Godzilla” are some bomb ass songs by Blue Öyster Cult that I would love to see you react to, especially Godzilla!
The entirety of Godzilla is pretty much a guitar solo
This is my favorite song of all time! Great reaction! The singer isn't the Reaper though? The singer is singing to his girl "baby I'm your man," telling her not to fear bodily death (the Grim Reaper or Angel of Death). They will be released from this mortal coil, and their spirits/souls will soar in the "heavens" for Eternity, like Romeo + Juliet and 40,000 men + women who die physically every day. Our souls are eternal, we should embrace physical death because it frees us from this material world, frees us from Time, physical pain, etc. is what he's saying. My favorite reaction by anyone at this present moment😇💖
This song was used to spectacular effect in the opening scene of the original miniseries for The Stand. Was absolutely brilliant. This song is near perfection in every way 😍 but it needs more cowbell.
Buck Darms is highly underated guitarist ❤
Blue Oyster Cult always bring such immaculate vibes no matter the song.
Man, "Godzilla" is going to blow you away. I can't wait for that reaction
its the perfect choice for next reaction
I must be a sinister soul, because i always thought he was asking her to join him in death and commit a lovers suicide :// Super dramatic goth vibessss
I always thought that too
Me too, especially with the Romeo and Juliet verse.
That's absolutely what it's about.
He is. Baby take my hand…. That’s what he means.
@@ecbenson98 No, it's not. Is about living your life without thinking about tomorrow, fear of death should not control you. The band has to explain this in almost every interview, it's funny.
Welcome to the wonderful world of Blue Öyster Cult! One of my favorite bands. I've seen them about 20 times, give or take. They wail in concert, man. Buck Dharma is a guitar legend!!!
Vastly underrated band.
"Oh no, there goes Tokyo
Go go, Godzilla!!!"
- Blue Oyster Cult
OoOooOoOoOoo!
WeeeoOOoohhHHhhh
One of my favorite rock songs
In halloween 1978 this is the song laurie and annie are listening to while getting high. Perfect choice by carpenter as they're being stalked by Micheal Myers.
It is also in the tv adaptation of The Stand by Stephen King.
Seen that but it's been about 20 years. I'm guessing it's in scene with the walking dude?
@CJH technically that is a form of stalking. He was doing very well last night! Maybe someone around here gave him lessons. And yes, it is one of the most important horror films ever.
I remember that now. I was 13 when that movie came out.
This is one of my favorite UA-cam channels. Watching somebody discover and enjoy music that I grew up with is really an awesome experience. I remember watching a video you made sometime back where you talk about how you were the one that got picked on back in the day for being who you were and now people from around the world tune into your channel to watch who you are. I think this channel is God's reward to you for enduring the cruelty of others. God bless.
Amen brother!! 100% on all that!!!
I totally agree...He is so much fun to watch, and has such a sweet personality!!
Hah, drove the nail in with a single swing!
The Crowd is always intellectually inferior to the isolated individual - Gustav Le Bon
@@nateforest4936 Gustav was apparent pretty smart.
Man, I friggin love you, dude. Because of my dad, I heard music like this when I was real young, so never got to really have that profound appreciation people have when they hear music like this for the first time, when they're older, and more open. Have to admit, I'm a little jealous. Haha.
Agree completely. This was the best. Haven’t even finished the reaction yet and had to check comments. 2:31 through 2:58 made me laugh my ass off.
I took my brother to his first concert in the late 70s, Blue Oyster Cult and Moody Blues,he was 14 and he loved every min.Good brother and sister time.Watching you react takes me back to look on my brothers face,thanx Leo...
I don't think I've ever listened to this band in a) the daytime or b) sober
Lara dear I would like to share a B.O.C. moment with you!
I make it a point never to play the first album in the daytime - it exists in a separate world where the sky has no light.
First rock band that I've ever seen in concert. That song is legendary.
So lucky.
Me too
"Very Lucky"
@@elysehfm8797 I still remember the ticket price: $10,50. Nowadays, you have to pay hundreds of dollars to see bands in stadiums and arenas. The only band that I can think of that still sell their concert tickets at reasonable prices is Iron Maiden.
@@soniab8109, I don't remember how much tickets cost when I was a kid, but I wasn't allowed to go anyway. Around the time people were trampled at a Who concert. Before that Hell's Angels at The Stones. My parents were terrified it would be the last time they saw me. I snuck to see Simon And Garfunkel in Central Park with a bunch of friends. That was awesome.
This is the closet thing to actually hearing it for the first again - it might be my favorite of all your reactions. Holy hell. ❤️❤️❤️
How can something so beautiful be so creepy? The seduction level is off the chain, I can't resist, take me now!
This is one of my favorite songs! Glad you enjoyed it as much as I do 💙
SNL skit with Christopher Walkien and Will Ferrell will tie this all together...
Yes..
No doubt....the yin and the yang!
More cow bell
I GOT A FEVER!!... and the only prescription... is more cowbell babe
SNL has absolutely “ruined” this song for me! 🐮 🔔
I call them "eargasms" 🤣😅😂. Certain songs just give me eargasms.
Me too, my fellow Tina
And when you have multiples they are moregasms.
2:15 he was definitely having some sort of gasm xD
I got a fever, and the only prescription is More Cowbell baby!! 👏 great SNL Skit! Check out “Godzilla”, and “Burning For You” ✌️
That music gets inside you and takes you to another place. Like an out of body experience to me. ✌️. This song and will always be a carefree & great song to me. Burning for you is another great one! 👍😎
"NEED MORE COWBELL" LOL 🤣 I will never hear this song the same after SNL did the Don't Fear the Reaper skit with Farrell, Walken, Katan, and Fallon.
Also please react to the SNL Skit about this song with Will Ferrell Jimmy Fallon and Christopher Walken
YEP!!! Too funny!!!
More COWBELL
This song means something different to me as an adult having lost a teenage son than it did when I was young...still love it though 🖖🏻🇨🇦
So sorry for your loss.
Sorry for your loss. I just lost my little nephew a couple of days ago, so I know exactly what you mean.
He is flying. He is well. God be with you
One of my favorite songs for life. My band used to cover this one! Other BOC tunes you need to hear: “Godzilla,” “Burnin’ for You,” “Veterans of Psychic Wars...”
They call a music orgasm an "ear-gasm" -- enjoy them goosebumps, it's a regular occurrence with BOC's music. Much respect
Oh, but “musicasm” is such a wonderful word! It understands that there is more to music than just the hearing of it.
@@reverbscherzo7850 It's a good word, but perception would say the ears are the catalyst of the music affecting the human. If you really think about it, the entire body mind and soul wouldn't react if it were not for the ears taking in the sound in the first place. If someone with no sense of hearing was around music, the only thing they would perceive would be the bass reverberating through their body. No more to the music for them than the mediocre bumping from the speakers. It's like someone without eyes trying to be affected by an oil painting.
Plus "eargasm" can include all manner of audio that affects the body mind and soul, not just music -- could be anything taken in through the ears: music, spoken word, sound effects, experimental sounds, laughter, etc etc.
"Musicgasm", as wonderful a word as it is, it pretty much excludes all other audio except music. The deep tones of Sam Elliot's voice, for instance, could be an eargasm to a lady. His voice isn't music and for her in that moment htere is no "musicgasm" , but I could argue that his voice is music to her ears? Hanna Barbara sound effects could be an eargasm to a vintage cartoon afficionado.
The sweet mellow sounds of the countryside , though not music or a "musicgasm", could be an eargasm to someone who's fighting to get out of the big city. The sound of a computer booting up, though just simple beeps and not music or a musicgasm, could be an eargasm to a computer programmer. See, it's all about inclusion with an umbrella term that encompasses all forms of audio. True, one could postulate that one could use a specific term if indeed music gave them a musicgasm, although "eargasm" has less syllables, and sounds almost like the word "orgasm", an outsider hearing the terms "musicgasm" and "eargasm" might logically pickup on "eargasm" before "musicgasm" simply because it's a bit more streamlined of a word mashup.
Also "eargasm" sounds funny lol just sayin' . Cheers and much respect.
Woo! I loved witnessing the PURE JOY you experienced while listening to this, the kind of music that hits your soul the same way this song has always hit mine. That is the purpose of the artform of music, to evoke "something" within you, something intrinsic and unexplainable. I became a fan after seeing your reaction to Sultans of Swing live. A rare genuine, beautiful reaction to legendary music. Please just keep doing you.
Mr. Video’s reaction to the song change was truly priceless. You could tell that was when he really got hooked
Written and based on a friend who had been diagnosed with an illness that would end their life soon..💔
Awesome song 🎶✌️❤️
Actually it was Buck Dharma himself who had been diagnosed
Wow really? I just read an article that said he was thinking of his wife..wow...thanks for sharing that.
@@maryannherrera8592 I don't know if this is actually related but on his 1982 solo album Flat Out (which is great by the way) there's a song called Your Loving Heart which is about a man who needs a heart transplant and his lover dies and he gets her heart. I'd be shocked if that one was based on a true story, but thankfully the heart arrhythmia that inspired DFTR turned out to be non-threatening.
Oh? Wow I thought it was a good friend of his that had him writing about it having mortality concerns that are always brought on whenever someone we know has been diagnosed with sad news.. okay wow it was actually him. So glad he was able to survive and continue for sure! What a great talent!!
I didn’t know that. I assumed he was asking his girlfriend to die with him.
~Blue Öyster Cult~Leo, I couldn't click fast enough, this is a deep rabbit hole to journey into...Awesome reaction~👍👍👍
BOC has the curious property of creating chills, just the sounds are so... strange and ageless
'Then came the last days of may' is one of my all time favorites
This concert was phenomenal in a building that was built for an orchestra. The acoustics were great. They actually performed for three hours.
When I was in high school and the 3pm bell would ring we would run to our cars & yell “It’s BOC time” ♥️💙 Then we would burn a big one & rock to their album “Agents Of Fortune” Also, you are not weird!! You are special 😉
Leo, this is one of my favorite songs! It's goosebump worthy for sure! Such great imagery in this song.
Me too Elyse! Hi!
@@jacqueline4514, hi hi! Adored this song since it came out. I was a dark child, lol! SO many songs I loved as a child were deep, dark, and mysterious.
This song is an all time gem
I grew up listening to Blue Oyster Cult, and I loved/ love it.
Now you need to watch the SNL don’t fear the reaper skit.
More cowbell
That's the power of music. Only we can appreciate the beauty and intricacies of it. I know SNL poked fun at this song in an iconic skit, but I love the harmony of this song as well as the guitar work. (Cowbell notwithstanding...) 😉😆
The look on your face when the main instrumental section started then when the guitar shredded through it all...music is the universal language
Yesss
DUDE IS BECOMING A METAL HEAD ^^ I am proud of you brother !
Man a full one at that!!!! I’m all in
@@MrVideo123 lol greetings from norway xD I got a challange for you brother :) check out Dimmu Borgir - Progenies of the great Apocalypse :) it's made by Norway's most mainsteam metal band
LOVE the dancing!!!! NEVER saw anyone dance to this before and as soon as you did, it made absolute sense!!!
LOL I loved the vibe of this song
@@MrVideo123 👊🏼
@@lynnhoffman247 & Jacqueline -
Huge thank you for the surgery well wishes y'all! 🙏 I really appreciate it! ❤
"It tweeks the 'metrimystics'." That's why I love your channel, you increase my vocabulationals. This is the kind of reaction that made me subscribe in the first place, the goose bumps, the musicistical musicgasms. Love it!
These cats used to play every year during FIESTA (think Mardi Gra, but different) in San Antonio back when La Semana Allegre was still an event (a festival concert type event that was typically an outside event - neighbors complained). I've seen them quite a few times. San Antonio loved their BOC.
Really need to watch the SNL skit now. More cowbell! Everyone who's seen that skit instantly thinks of it when they hear this song.
Will Farrell gets down with that cowbell!
I swear you were a professional HYPE MAN. The energy and vibe you bring is second to none. All your reactions make me want to get up and Jump Around.
Not to be lost in the fray is the effing key: say it together with me “redefine happiness”. Don’t fear the Reaper. Live it ‘til the clock runs outta ticks.
When you get chills, I get chills. Even though I've heard these songs 40,000 times. ;-)
Such an amazing and classic song! I remember hearing BOC perform this on Don Kirshner's Rock Concert and I was truly scared! Knowing the background as an adult, I now appreciate the song for what it is!
I used to play this song in rock band with my eyes closed, love the guitar and the cowbell
I don't have an encyclopedic knowledge of blue oyster cult but I love their songs Godzilla, astronomy and Veteran of the Psychic Wars!
Try "Cities On Flame (with Rock and Roll)".
That’s the magic of music, it gets into you, everyone feels it differently. You are far from weird... you’re reactions are perfect and authentic! Thank you for keeping it real and being yourself!
THERE ARE A LOT OF SONGS THAT MAKE ME FEEL YOUNG AGAIN , AND GETS MY OLD HEART PUMPING! WISH I COULD MOVE LIKE I USED TOO WITHOUT PULLING A MUSCLE.
There is a movie about two friends going to a BOC concert-"Stoned Age."
This channel makes me so happy, and I look forward to every post. You listen to a variety of songs and really seem to be enjoying the experience each song brings. You are introducing new people to "the oldies". Thank you for the songs, for your humor and bringing back such great music!!!!!!
This is a good example of a song that has been transformed by its own fame. At its core, it’s basically “death is inevitable, but love is special. Don’t be afraid of death because I love you,” which is a morose but ultimately sweet message (a similar more recent popular example of the same is Death Cab’s ‘I Will Follow You Into the Dark’).
Of course, as the comments section proves, most people know it from or associate it to the legendary and hilarious “More Cowbell!” skit from SNL, which kind of diminishes its creepy atmosphere. On the opposite end, the song has a strong horror legacy: a popular interpretation is that it’s about a murder-suicide pact between two young lovers, and it it appears in the original Halloween, with covers in Scream, the Frighteners, and Zombieland, to name a few.
"What we need folks is more cowbells" - Christopher Walken
I love you man! Your reaction makes me smile! I first heard “Reaper” in Buck, the guitarist’s parents’ living room on FM soon after the release. Buck pointed out that it was his tune. We had been friends since forming a band in college with drummer Al Bouchard. Buck is a musical and lyrical genius! I have been blessed to have written most of the lyrics to five tunes with him over time. He was/is still a musical force!
A classic song about a love so strong and pure it transcends death itself
BIGPETE IS GONNA BE SO HAPPY!
He's been requesting this forever!
"More cowbell" 🤣🤣🤣
I promise u LOL he be in my tail consistently
@@MrVideo123 🤣🤣🤣 OMG you're face when the instrumentals dropped in bridge. I'm dead, Leo! DEAD! 🤣 Thanks for the best laugh of the day. I'm having major oral surgery in the morning - so drop something good tomorrow to make me smile while high af on meds. 🤯

@@jennhurl Hope you did well!
Jenn!! 🤣😂😉. Last time I told Leo I don’t wanna spam, he said to keep spamming 🤨🤷🏻♂️🤣 I gotta keep it 💯😂.
I've got a fever... and the only prescription is more cowbell.
OMG this song popped into my mind this afternoon and I haven’t been able to clear it.
the hair on my arms stand up every time yours do lol. You have to watch the SNL skit of this, I know others requested already but its probably one of the funniest SNL skits.
Dude this song... thank you for this! ❤
I still get chills to this, it just gets you
My cousin thought for years they were saying Don’t fear the reefer 😂😂😂
Best response to a song EVER 🥰🕊️☮️✌️
Took my younger brother to his first concert at 14yr.Moody Blues and Blue Oyster Cult,1976,L.A............right as this song aired on the radio,and hit the music stores.Leo,you are priceless.It would have been a blast to have taken you.
This song makes me feel young again and yet old at the same time. I don't fear the reaper.
The SNL skit is a must on your other channel!! It will be on the greatest hits of that show whenever they finally stop making it.
Seriously my dude, if you like this song you will love Blinded By The Light by Manford Man's Earth Band. The guitar is amazing
Another vote for that!
And another vote. One of my all time favorite songs, I love it with a weird fierce passion. The lyrics are fire!
Oh Hell YESSS!!!! There's a live version, I think it was a BBC performance....1980?? He'd like it!!
Mr. Video has a fever chill and the only prescription is more cowbell! 😂
This is one of those songs that give you the chills every time you hear it.
Always love your reactions when the song permeates your soul. Don’t Fear the Reaper is definitely one of these. By the way, This was written by guitarist Donald Roeser, it coupled the group’s mysticism with a beautiful melody, lush harmonies and one of the coolest guitar riffs of the ‘70s. Of the song’s beginnings, Roeser says, “I was thinking about my own mortality. I wrote the guitar riff, the first two lines of lyric sprung into my head, then the rest of it came as I formed a story about a love affair that transcends death. I was thinking about my wife, and that maybe we’d get together after I was gone.”
Nothing boosts a song’s popularity like a little controversy, and there was plenty surrounding “(Don’t Fear) The Reaper.” Roeser said in 1998, “The second verse is the one that’s caused all the trouble all these years. ‘Valentine’ is a metaphor for mortal love. ‘Romeo and Juliet’ I used as an example of a couple who had faith to take their love elsewhere when they weren’t permitted the freedom to love here and now. What I meant was, they’re in eternity cause they had the faith to believe in the possibility. It frankly never occurred to me that the suicide aspect of their story would be plugged in to people’s take on ‘Reaper,’ making it an advertisement for suicide. The “40,000” number was pulled from the air as a guess about how many people died every day worldwide, not how many people committed suicide.”
"Cities On Flame With Rock And Roll" is my favorite by them. I don't know if there's a video for it.
6:40
That sensation you felt is called a _frisson._
If you don't get chills during this song - you're deaf.
And even though I wouldn't call BOC a heavy metal band, with that beat, guitar solo, and lyrics, you can't tell me this isn't a \m/etal song!
They have such a wide variety of styles. The "Cult" can take you on a lot of different trips.
Now you need to watch the SNL skit about this song. MORE COWBELL!
"I can't even explain...I just know in my head what happened" is a PERFECT description.....so is the comment that it messed with the "metra-mystics" of your body.
I love that you like this. They are an EPIC band.
No, you're not weird. People have been requesting the greatest songs ever!🎉 It's good to feel the music. I've had songs bring me to tears. You are the coolest guy. All your reactions are pretty spot on to me. Thanks for entertaining me so much Leo, lol I think that's your name?, 😂 🤣💕🤩🎉😊
