'Underneath'
There's a lady plays her fav'rite records/On the jukebox ev'ry day/All day long she plays the same old songs/And she believes the things that they say/She sings along with all the saddest songs/And she believes the stories are real/She lets the music dictate the way that she feels.

Question about the mixology: is it acceptable to include a cover of a cowbell song if you can't necessarily determine if said cowbell is actually present?

I'm going to take a hardline and argue that a cowbell song should prominently feature cowbell such that its presence is not in question. In short, More Cowbell!

Well, if we're arguing...I'm going to argue that you should do what you want! Make a case for the song having the essence of cowbell or something.
OMG,
essence of cowbell
great band name, also just something I want to be able to buy in bottled form.

This could get ugly:
"Where's the cowbell?"
"It's got cowbell."
"No, that's a glockenspiel."
"I say it's cowbell!"
"I have it on good authority that ****** ******* used a glockenspiel exclusively in the recording of ********. It says so right in ***** **** **** by *****."
"Here's your glock, Geekus Maximus!!!!" whips out glock and open fire
Well, if we're arguing... I can see David's point, but I'm with lisah on this one for the slightly perverse reason that I'm delighted by the idea of meta-cowbell. "So the song has cowbell?" "Well, no, but we covered it because the original had cowbell. It really is all about the cowbell."
I can see David's point
Well, I'm an editor and it is my experience that writers always try to fudge the lines. So I like drawing them bright and clear.
However, I have no enforcement capacity so the worst that can happen is a cavil on my part. And the best is, "I was completely wrong! That song rocks with implicit cowbell and more than satisfies all requirements." I'm willing to be proven wrong.
