Silly Love Songs
Most people think the Captain & Tenille were the first to record the following. Not true. Anyone remember?
By the way, you're all welcome for me getting this song stuck in your head. It's been stuck in mine all day, might as well share the love.
Muskrat, muskrat candlelight
Doin' the town and doin' it right
In the evenin'
It's pretty pleasin'
Muskrat Susie, Muskrat Sam
Do the jitterbug out in muskrat land
And they shimmy
And Sammy's so skinny
And they whirled and they twirled and they tangoed
Singin' and jingin' the jango
Floatin' like the heavens above
It looks like muskrat love
Nibbling on bacon, chewin' on cheese
Sammy says to Susie "Honey, would you please be my missus?"
And she say yes
With her kisses
And now he's ticklin' her fancy
Rubbin' her toes
Muzzle to muzzle, now anything goes
As they wriggle, and Sue starts to giggle
And they whirled and they twirled and they tangoed
Singin' and jingin' the jango
Floatin' like the heavens above
It looks like muskrat love
La da da da da ...

Yet another song for the soundtrack in purgatory. Barry Manilow, The Captain and Tenille, and Barbershop.
not one 'America's' best efforts(Sister Golden Hair is much better), but you can hear it on their greatest hits CD.
They actually had a 'greatest hits CD', not a "gratingest hits CD'?
Let me tell you - where I sit it's anything but 'Muskrat Love' - there seems to be an endless supply of the annoying critters. They have tunnelled into the barns, demolished tons of grain and left their calling cards all over the place (plus it scares the crap out of you (me) to find their beady eyes staring at you from a dark corner.)Susie, Sam and the jitter bugging muskrat land be damned!!! Please sublimate another ear worm...
Hey.
It's February.
I want some hot steamy love, not some cute muskrat cavorting.
Captain and Tenille be damned.
I want some Donna Summers kind of love.
Toot, toot. Hey. Beep. Beep.
But then, someone left the cake out in the rain and I heard about it On The Radio. It's not that she's a Bad Girl, she does Work Hard For The Money and all...
