‘I need more cowbell!’

One of my favorite things about the new iPhone 2.0 firmware is the addition of Apps. They are, simply, software applications made specifically for the iPhone. There are some very handy productivity-type Apps, some cool game Apps, some cool gadget Apps and some pretty fun mindless Apps.
In coming posts, I’ll share with you some of my favorite Apps, but I’ll start with my favorite mindless App. It’s an instant favorite because of the homage it pays to one of my favorite SNL skits, Chistopher Walken’s “more Cowbell” sketch. “I gotta have more cowbell.”
Thanks to Apple’s App Store for the iPhone, I can give him “More Cowbell” with this creation from Glenda Adams. Dr. Macenstein explains:
When you launch the app, Walken begs you for more cowbell, and you deliver by tapping on the screen. If you stop, Walken comes back, hungry for more. It seems he can never get enough cowbell, as this goes on forever. I have been giving Walken all the cowbell I can for about 4 hours straight now, and he still needs more.
In honor of this new App, here’s that infamous “More Cowbell!” skit, one of my all-tie favorites!
