Dana Lyons is the singer/songwriter responsible for the hit-song, "Cows With Guns". Cows swept across Australia in 1997, hitting #2 on the Country Music charts, and ringing in at #28 for the year on Australia's nationally broadcast Triple-J radio. Cows debuted on Dr. Demento's Funny Five on 1997's Super Bowl Sunday, and stayed in it all year, ending up in the #1 spot for all of 1997!

The origin of the song, "Cows With Guns" is a mysterious one. Early one summer morning in 1994, Dana awoke from a dream. He had been visited by the great Cosmic Cow. Thus "Cows With Guns" was born.
