Ah, the 70's. Considered by many to be the best decade for music. This song by Willis Alan Ramsey, later covered by America and Captain & Tennille, proves it wasn't.
Muskrat, muskrat candlelight
MIKE: Umm…what?
Doin' the town and doin' it right
In the evenin'
CROW: In the morning and afternoon they’re just busy, cruisin’ around on their muskrat Benz’s in the city.
It's pretty pleasin'
TOM: I think we’re getting into a whole weird area here, guys.
Muskrat Susie, Muskrat Sam
MIKE: Together they fight crime!
Do the jitterbug out in muskrat land
CROW: Muskrat Land! Disney’s least popular theme park!
And they shimmy
And Sammy's so skinny
TOM: He was thin enough to be anorexic!
And they whirled and they twirled and they tangoed
Singin' and jingin' the jango
CROW: Did Bill Cosby write this?
Floatin' like the heavens above
It looks like muskrat love
MIKE: Well, guess I’d better call the exterminator.
Nibbling on bacon, chewin' on cheese
Sammy says to Susie
TOM [Sammy]: Look out for the steel trap!!
"Honey, would you please be my missus?"
And she say yes
With her kisses
And now he's ticklin' her fancy
MIKE: Should we be seeing this?
BOTS: No.
Rubbin' her toes
Muzzle to muzzle, now anything goes
As they wriggle, and Sue starts to giggle
TOM: Y’know, I now see the reason why the furry fandom is ostracized by the rest of the Internet.
And they whirled and they twirled and they tangoed
Singin' and jingin' the jango
Floatin' like the heavens above
CROW: Wait, did they die? Why are they floating? What’s going on?
It looks like muskrat love
La da da da da ...
MIKE: That was surprisingly short.
TOM: What were people in the 70’s thinking?
The Captain & Tennille cover somehow got to number 4 on the Billboard charts. Yeah...
