Thanks to NBC promos dept., I’ve had Blue Öyster Cult in my head all week. They’ve been using “(Don’t Fear) The Reaper” in tune-in spots for tonight’s Behind The Camera: The Unauthorized Story Of “Mork & Mindy.” Dare I say it looks Tivo-worthy?
Anyway, I love that song. I found it on the Internet for y’all.
However, for Mork’s coked-up years I prefer to reminisce with the electronica remix.
And yes, of course I’m gonna link to SNL‘s BTM: BÖC (Windows Media). I gotta have more cowbell, baby!

Thanks for linking to the “more Cowbell” SNL skit! I can’t get enough of that!
that apollo440 song is just as good as their version of the charlies angels theme.
“Babies, before we’re done here, y’all be wearing gold-plated diapers.”
“What does that mean?”
“Never question Bruce Dickinson!”

G.
Do you think they looked for a hairy actor to play Williams? Or did they have to graft bear genes onto his human genes?
Am I the only one who hears nothing but cowbell when listening to that song ever since that SNL skit aired? DAMN YOU WILL FERRELL!!!
i highly approve of this post
Synchronicity!
I saw this commercial and started laughing. First, I laughed at the fact that a movie existed about the behind the scenes going ons of Mork and frikkin Mindy. Then, I laughed at the use of this song. Then, I got the song stuck in my head, found it, downloaded it, and listened to it. Then, I found this post.
It’s not just you, Nelson. This song has been officially ruined for me – I burst into fits of laughter now when I hear it.
I’m definitely feeling the whole Keren Ann under the “Rocking the iPod”, considering my last post was to suggest her under the post regarding albums people should hear. lol. Nice choice.
Hey Stereogum– Since you’re linking to SNL skits and all, any chance you could find someway to shoehorn a link to the Neil Diamond Storytellers into an upcoming post? I absolutely love that skit…
“I like what I’m hearing. Explore the space…”
Im not a fan of the Apollo version, but the SNL skit was pretty fucking funny. Cowbells and tambourines rule.
GUESS WHAT — i got a FEVAH… and the only PRESCRIPTION is more COWBELL
i was howling when i heard that…
Wilco has been covering DFtR in their recent live shows. I don’t know how much cowbell they use.
I agree, the original is ruined for me now. All I hear is the c-c-c-c-cowbell.
JOh no immy Fallon to play Mork in a Mork and Mindy remake… I read that here fusedfilm.com
