LINDA WERTHEIMER, host:
With the Winter Olympics in full swing, our last word in business today comes via the late-night comedy show "Saturday Night Live."
(Soundbite of TV show, "Saturday Night Live")
Mr. CHRISTOPHER WALKEN (Actor): (as Bruce Dickinson) I got to have more cowbell, baby.
(Soundbite of laughter)
WERTHEIMER: The word is cowbell. Its a tradition at the Winter Olympics to use a cowbell to cheer for athletes. Its louder than clapping with mittens on. But if you dont have your own cowbell, dont worry - theres an app for that. A new iPhone application called Cowbell 2010 turns your iPhone into a cowbell. All you do is download and shake.
(Soundbite of cowbell)
WERTHEIMER: Theres your cowbell. At $.99 a pop, the app is now one of the top sports downloads in the iTunes app store.
