Today's Forgotten Oldie...

Daryl Dragon and Toni Tennille heard the song "Muskrat Love" by America on the radio while driving home one night in 1973.  Toni thought it was hysterical and convinced Daryl to include it in their act.  Three years later they made an impromptu decision to record the song for the "Song of Joy" album.  Then realizing it's popularity, the Captain and Tennille released it as a single.  It soared to #4 on the Hot 100 and #1 on the Easy Listening chart.  One of those songs you either love or hate, it was a huge hit and rarely played today...
