Definitely one the greatest fun songs ever; and her smile, one the most memorable and persuasive in show biz. Eat you're heart Henry K...muskrat love forever. Thanks for the post.
Could not agree more! Both had great class, smokin voices. NO ONE ever admitted to listening to either, till they were in the car by themselves. TURN up the AM radio and play it right.... MY $0.02
One of the most sensual and best voices ever. Like it so much more than all these yelling Ladies of today. She had style she grace... Toni Tenille gave good face - and voice ;-))
I always loved the adoring looks Toni's always tossing toward Daryl while she's singing. She seems like such a sweetheart! Those two will be together forever!
Ever since I was a kid, I wondered about the strange enduring chemistry of Captain and Tennille. I remember when their show was on the air, but can hardly remember Daryl Dragon saying a single word. His expression was always blank: a kind of extreme parody of the unflappable straight man. Whereas Toni Tennille was laughing, singing, joking, having the time of her life. Whatever the strangeness, I love Captain and Tennille.
i heard this song at work and was like what is that weird gurggling sound. i looked it up and i cant believe its them, then again i was born in 76. lol.
Her voice is amazing. Always thought she should be doing the great standards of the 1930s, 40s, etc. She (& Marilyn McCoo) had the most lush sound. And Daryl was always so wacky - never fit the mold and love how he doesn't care a bit! Really gifted artists...
Anytime someone gives me a ration of $#!% over this song, I sing 'em a quick chorus of "Thong Song"; that usually shuts 'em up quick! Thank you for posting this; I'm adding it to my favorites. . . Tom
This was great. That simple story before the song spoke volumes of one of many differences in today's/and yesterday's pop culture. Just telling a simple story displayed Mr's Tennille's personality, something rarely seen today >>> Real, genuine, sincere. I forgot how well spoken she was. Not a bad singer as well. The song, however, I can do without.
I agree totally! Its either you hate it and think it is just awful or you love it and think its cute. Me of course I love it as well. It wouldnt matter to me what they were singing about I would love it regardless!
@nickeysgreat It's sad but your words are so true. I'm so glad I got to experience the 70's and have the memories. I feel sorry for the generations that follow -
Loved her hairstyle when that first came out; of course now I like her hair much better. I remember them singing it and them having a little cartoon to go along with it. Remember their bulldogs?
@smthoman - I think fashion designers intentionally make clothing with very little fabric and sell them at places like Wal-Mart for very low prices. Toni Tennille and Stevie Nicks are both quite beautiful, and I respect them because they can be that way without dressing like trashy hos. lol
she is so full of positive energy...and a nice feel good smile. Great Vibe! thanks
Very few voices would be allowed to lullaby me-this is one of them! The quality and richness is as deep as the ocean!!
Give me thumbs up if Toni Tennille has the most incredible smile.

One thing I have always noticed about Toni, is that she always has a big smile on her face..always..It's so awesome, she seems to be genuinly happy:)
I saw this when I was little. I had no idea what a bi-centennial was but I liked the song. Thanks for the background history.
Muskrat Love is may all-time favorite. I cry everytime I hear it- and I'm a fomer military fighter pilot!
I loathed this song in the 70s, but funny how now that I hear it once again I think it's pure genius!
I used to work on a union dock with a bunch of guys in flanel shirts with Cat Diesel Power hats on. We loved this song and danced to it.
She so reminds me of Lori, my fomer girlfriend of 7 years ago. The eyes and smile make me cry. Wish I had married her! Thanks for posting.
Excellent..I wish they would put them back on TV today to perform all these classics and new one's.
Beautiful, Smart and with talent. I had a crush on her during the 70's. What a voice and the looks.

Omg....this song is so amazing.
thumbs up with full house brought you here.
It's such a strange lyric, but the song is wonderful........Toni at her sensual best....
Hit #1 AC, #4 pop in Billboard. God bless!

Only Toni could have taken a silly novelty tune and turn it into a tender love song.
What a classy lady.

My mother named me after Tennille. I'm proud to share my name with this woman. She is beautiful AND classy, unlike the majority of women today.

It´s a silly song but one must love her
I know its sugary but it is kinda cool. They were good!!

Great intro!
a truly silly song but too darn cute to not like!

lovely!!!!
She's so sweet.

Many people are unaware...when you sing...to help you stay on key (and not be flat or sharp) you are supposed to smile.
LOVE THIS SONG!! lol
This song is so catchy...it deserves to be remade, modernized.
what an adorable southern girl....
@IanHunedoara8 I agree, yet I bet Karen Carpenter could have pulled it off as well.
greattttttttttttt¡¡¡ fantastc ¡¡¡¡
Toni has five times more voice, it's more elastic and round, and a little of the scratchiness of Gladis Knight
So when muskrats make love they sound like bum notes played on a keyboard? Who would have guessed? Move over animal planet the captains in the house
what the heck is that at 2:50 ??

Is there a prettier woman...show me
Kissinger has no heart nor soul, so it doesn't surprise me.
Karen was more mellow,don't you think ?
I like this group, BUT WHAT THE HELL IS THIS??? OMG that song was just weird! My favorite song they do is LOVE WILL KEEP US TOGETHER
