“Every time I heard ‘(Don’t Fear) The Reaper,’ I would hear the faint cowbell in the background and wonder, ‘What is that guy’s life like?'” And although the sketch was cut the first several times it was pitched for inclusion in an episode, the idea lingered. “I held on to it for, I think, three months, until Christopher Walken was the host, and rewrote it for him. His odd rhythms fit so perfectly.”
~Will Ferrell

For the record, that song is not part of this medley. It has been played to (pardon the pun) death, so even though the Saturday Night Live sketch that was inspired by it was hysterical, I skipped it here.
