So I was just listening to one of my XM music channels and this song came on...

Does anybody else think that the song, performed by America as well as Captain & Tennille, is a bit strange?

I mean, whoever thinks of muskrats being 'in love'?  ???

I don't know if the song is strange or not but it does test my gag reflexes.  :P

Then again, it was parodied and played on Dr. Demento...a song called 'Hamster Love' only :P :P :P :P :P....it sings about frying them up in a pan and how deeeeliscious they are.

I've seen a muskrat up close... and, nup, love didn't come to mind.

Didn't someone do a more rock oriented version of "Muskrat Love"?  (not America's cover)

I didn't know America sang it too. I always thought is was pretty weird.  :D

Thanks, Rhonda!  I'm glad I'm not the only one who thinks this song is weird!  ;)

I can't stand it, especially the muskrat sounds  8-P

Whenever I think of Muskrat Love, I think of Jukebox from Hell-it would be there in between Feelings & Run, Joey, Run.  8-P

LOL!  ;D

Just a fraction!  :D

I can't remember what version I was familiar with first, but I was ever-so slightly amazed that it proved to be a sizeable hit for C&T!

(In a rare burst of good taste, the British record buying public decided to leave it in the stores!)

Not fair...muskrats need love too!  :D

Oh, another Jukebox From Hell song-I Write The Songs.  8-P

Can I add one more to your Jukebox from Hell?  Wham Bam Shang a Lang and a Sha La La La La Thing - Silver (one hit wonder from 1976)  :P

I don't recall that one-but that could be a good thing.

This was the one song I never liked by them. Wonder what made them do this song????

Just to put some balance here on this one. I actually liked, played and sang this song. It was fun to get the harmonies right (but yes, it was a strange concept)..
