Ok, let's do this. If you can guess where it's from, you have great taste.

Harvesting eyes of cuthulu from terraira?
Nope, never played Terraria. Here's a hint: I gotta have more cowbell!
I don't think I understand the reference, haha.
Alright, I'll explain it: the 'I gotta have more cowbell' comes from a Saturday Night Live skit where the band Blue Γyster Cult are recording the song "(Don't Fear) The Reaper" which has a cowbell playing after the first guitar chords, and the producer (played by Christopher Walken) keeps saying that he wants more cowbell. Tension rises within the band whether to have more or less cowbell.
I couldn't find the full skit for some reason, so here's a video of every instance Christopher Walken mentions cowbell throughout it.
So, to sum it up, this was me trying to hint, in a not too obvious and probably convoluted way, that Harvester of Eyes is a song by Blue Γyster Cult. It sounds kind of anti-climatic now, to be honest.
Nah, that's a fun way to try and connect the two! I just haven't watched much SNL, so it's lost on me.
Me neither, it was just really popular in the early 00s so I ended up knowing about it. But yeah, I wasn't sure if people would still remember it after all these years.
I gave up and looked it up. Thank you for your nickname! (You likely get what I mean, I don't want to spoil it for the others.)
Uhh...I actually don't, haha! I'm probably missing something, sorry!
Explaining it further.
As I websearched your nickname, the first mention that popped up was a song, Blue Oyster Cult: Harvester Of Eyes. I didn't know the band or the song, but fuck, I loved it, I'm a suckeer for 70's music. So thank you for the indirect suggestion!Oh, I get it now, haha.
You're welcome and I'm glad you liked it. Their first 3 albums are great starting points. Out of those, Secret Treaties is probably the most consistent but Tyranny & Mutation goes hard too. Especially Hot Rails to Hell.Jeepers creepers take a look at those peepers.
Nope, never saw the movie :p.
