More cowbell, baby!

Blue Oyster Cult, Playing Along With 'More Cowbell': "...a kind of cult has sprung up around the Blue Oyster Cult bit and its two magic words. 'More cowbell' appears on T-shirts, coffee mugs and buttons, and the spoof is still discussed and debated on Web sites across the Internet. It has become a stock witticism in clubs and bars as bands begin to play (indeed, one group in Upstate New York named itself More Cowbell). Snippets from the skit pop up regularly on the radio. When the cable entertainment channel E! named its 101 Most Unforgettable 'SNL' Moments last fall, 'Cowbell' ranked among the top five. "

And you can buy the t-shirt (or make one just as nice at home).
