More cowbell is the reason that Blue Oyster Cult's mega-hit "Don't Fear the Reaper" reached such heights. While recording the song, the cowbell track was barely audible. It was the sharp ear of the producer who stepped in and demanded "more cowbell."(After all, he did know how to make hit records.)

From the satirical Saturday Night Live sketch featuring Will Ferrell, now used as a way to tell someone when something they did was good, but just not quite right. The phrase "more cowbell" works to express this mild dissatisfaction in a variety of settings.
At a steakhouse "how was your meal?" It was ok, but could have used just a little more cowbell.
"Eh, that ,movie wasn't bad. But really could have used some more cowbell."
"That was a good blowjob honey, but really could have used some more cowbell"

I think this means that when there is a team effort and everyone but you sees the absurdity of your ideas and the intransigence of your position; yet, you keep banging away at the idea LOUDER and LONGER as the right solution! This is the distilled essence of more cowbell!
"You know, I think we need more cowbell", I compare this to four people in a room working towards a goal and three of them think you are an idiot...chances are you are an idiot!

This phrase was originally used by Christopher Walken on SNL with Will Ferrel. He was indicating that something needs more emphasis, or literally "Needs more cowbell".
Aired on April 8th, 2000.
This is also referenced in World of Warcraft in a quest in Outland, where you escort a ghost cow.

That was pretty good but it needs more cowbell.

A facebook user group whose purpose is the encouragement of facebook content and humor revolving around the satirical cowbell metaphor made popular in a Saturday Night Live skit. The SNL classic mocks Blue Oyster Cult members (played by Will Farrell, Chris Kattan, Horatio Sands and Jimmy Fallon) in the recording studio where they are laying down "Don't Fear The Reaper" with record producer, Bruce Dickenson (played by guest host, Christopher Walken) who advises the fellas that they are going to want that cowbell in their sound and the track could use a little more cowbell to an already "cowbell prevalent" song.
A (subliminal) tool used to politely suggest to your long lost pal to add some content to their facebook profile.
The classic request for more facebook content.
