Did you ever have a song pop in your head and wonder why? What in the world makes songs we have not heard in years suddenly take up residence in our mental jukebox? What’s worse is when it is a song that easily becomes an ear-worm.
So, this post will come up from time to time, asking the question about those odd songs that just show up. When it happens to me, I wonder – Did you own it? Did you help make it popular? Do you know all the lyrics? Leave a comment below.
My song today is “Muskrat Love” written by Willis Allen Ramsey and recorded by both America and Captain & Tennille. I think I had this song on an 8-track and yes, I know all the words and can sing along with no provlem.

My favouite song by them was ‘Love Will Keep Us Together’. My friends thought it was ‘cheesy’, and mocked me. But I still love it now. She gad a great voice!
Best wishes, Pete.

This comment ended up in my trash folder. No idea why, but I restored it. I like that song Pete – much more than Muskrat Love!

WordPress put it in the trash, so I recovered it. So strange why it does that sometimes.

I did not own it. I was way too old to think it was worth buying. Good post, Maggie.

I think I got the 8-track for Christmas, John. It was so overplayed on the radio I do not think I would have bought it for myself.

I can imagine. I remember The Captain twiddling his keyboard to make the chipmunk giggles.

They were such a popular duo for a while, John. I think I read that was their third best selling song.

It would not have been on my play list, if I had such a thing!

I owned America’s version. I haven’t thought about it in years.

I was trying to remember if I might have had it on an America album I owned, but if I did, I do not remember it.

My first husband had an 8-track when we first met. I hadn’t thought of it in years. It was a wonderful toy. He played Motown only though.

I am glad my post made you remember it, Elizabeth. I can appreciate his fondness for Motown.
