If you haven’t seen this before, have a look. It’s a classic Saturday Night Live skit featuring Will Ferrell and Christopher Walken about, well, the need for more cowbell.


Heading in to the weekend I’d like to propose starting a list. What do you think could do with a little more cowbell?

I’ll make a start:

1. The Department of Defence
2. Cricket Australia
3. Question Time

Over to you ...

      Give the Speaker of the House, aka “The Lion” a cow bell.

      Cowbells should be compulsory at all sporting arenas (especially when John Williamson starts playing)

      The Chaser’s upcoming “War On Cowbell” could use more cowbell.

      First and foremost - not enough cows are equipped with cowbells.  Once this oversight is seen too, we can assess the worldwide shortage in full.

      Trad jazz. We definitely need to promote the cowbell as a solo instrument.

      Andrew Symonds will have a bit of spare time.  Maybe he could learn to play the cowbell.

      The last song on Watery Domestic needs more cowbell.

      That, and the people who are tasked with paying for the Defence funding promises of Rudd and now Faulkner.
