What songs have cowbells in it?

Question

Aside from BOC's Don't Fear the Reaper.

Dani G: Funny..... I know ALL of those songs but I don't recall a cowbell (cept in CCR), I must go back and listen, I guess I'm very bad at picking up the sounds of cowbells.....
Thanks

annarborisatramp: HOLY SMUCKERS!
