What is "cowbell?"

[T2T III]

I've seen some user's signatures reference the term "cowbell."

Some examples:

"I GOTTA HAVE MORE COWBELL..."

and

Got Cowbell?

Am I just an idiot for not knowing what this means? Could someone please share the secret on what this means so I can keep up with the times?

Or, is it really just not anything at all other than some simple statement that inbred, redneck AnandTech members put in their signature block?

Thank you!

AFAIK, it's a Saturday Night Live sketch involving Christopher Walken as a producer for a band. He kept insisting on more cowbell.

It a referance to a SNL skit.

Where BOC is recording and the producer keeps asking for "MORE COW BELL".
