So I am watchin' cash cab and the video challenge was a picture of a muskrat...so for some of you older folks when you hear muskrat...what do you think?? What are you thinking???

Captain and Tenille Muskrat Love Righttttttttt?? *****members that?? LMAOOO

These had to be the dumbest lyrics I have read yet

Muskrat, Muskrat, candle light Doing the town
and doing it right in the evening
It's pretty pleasing Muskrat Suzie, Muskrat Sam do the jitterbug
out in Muskrat Land And they shimmy... 
Sam is so skinny And they whirl and they twirl and they tango
Singing and jinging a jango
Floating like the heavens above 
Looks like Muskrat Love. 
Nibbling on bacon, chewing on cheese Sam says to Suzie, 
Honey, would you please be my Mrs?
Suzie says yes with her kisses 
Now he's tickling her fancy, 
rubbing her toes muzzle to muzzle now, 
anything goes as they wriggle, 
Sue starts to giggle

Really WTH did this song mean?? Was it one of those drug like songs or what? Muskrats stank..WTH??? Suzy Q I know you can a sistah some insight on this one

LMAO I know this has probably got to be the most off topic subject you've ever seen on BAF but dayummm REALLY Muskrats??? Now mind you this was one of their biggest sellers!!! Stanky leg doesn't seem as bad now that I reflect back on this song

Hey Ro,
I remember "muskrat love" that came out in 77...keep in mind that Michael Jackson's "Ben" came out in either 75 or 76, I've always thought that muskrat love was them trying to bite off of MJ. The mess became a hit only because it followed their hit "Love will keep us together". (that was my jam lol)

Ps. I thought that it was rumored that the captain was on drugs or an alcholic during that time???

Hummm let me go to wiki...be right back

Got this off of wiki, had to laugh.

"

The 1976 cover reached #4 on the Billboard Hot 100 chart, as well as spending four weeks atop the adult contemporary chart. It features sound effects created with a synthesizer to evoke the imagined sound of muskrats courting. The single featured an "endless loop" of these sound effects created by encoding the end groove of the 45. More recently, this version has been cited by many as among the worst popular songs ever. "

That's been going on for a while. Elvis Presley stole "hound dog" from Willie Mae (Bigmama) Thornton. I liked her version better lol,.
