Also, the 45 had the bleeps filtered a little on the bass end and reduced in level. Many broadcast transmitters and automation systems didn't like that synthesizer bongo solo. ]]> Wed, 13 Apr 2011 16:27:31 +0000 https://top40musiconcd.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=634&PID=29783&title=muskrat-love-captain-tennille#29783 https://top40musiconcd.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=634&PID=29638&title=muskrat-love-captain-tennille#29638 Author: Paul Haney

Something I never heard on the end grooves of any 45 I owned before appeared on what I believe was my stock 45 for "Muskrat Love". Described earlier as the "synthesizer bongo solo", the final galloping sounds continue to appear all the way to the end of the grooves, and then repeat continuously until you or your turntable picks up the needle. I happen to have a broadcast turntable, so my 45's actual time is "infinity", as the gallops are heard non-stop, as a "continuous end groove loop" until I decide to pick up the tone arm. It was all done very smoothly, and is in perfect tempo. Man, that Daryl Dragon (The Captain) is a real prankster, eh! (in honor of the Vancouver Winter Olympics.) ]]> Sat, 27 Feb 2010 00:15:45 +0000 https://top40musiconcd.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=634&PID=25347&title=muskrat-love-captain-tennille#25347 https://top40musiconcd.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=634&PID=25340&title=muskrat-love-captain-tennille#25340 Author: KentT

Used to hate that song at work, it drove our Harris Stereo
80 automation system bonkers due to those synthesizer
bleeps. 3:30 is the time on the A&M promo 45 Stereo side.
And I was the poor bloke who had to repair that system. ]]> Fri, 26 Feb 2010 20:44:55 +0000 https://top40musiconcd.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=634&PID=25340&title=muskrat-love-captain-tennille#25340 https://top40musiconcd.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=634&PID=24975&title=muskrat-love-captain-tennille#24975 Author: Yah Shure

I timed the stereo side of my DJ 45, which runs (3:30.8) Begin the fade at 3:20 until the end.

Just didn't want to buy the Party Killers CD since I already have all the songs on a dozen other collections.]]> Sat, 23 Jan 2010 18:11:59 +0000 https://top40musiconcd.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=634&PID=24967&title=muskrat-love-captain-tennille#24967 https://top40musiconcd.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=634&PID=24966&title=muskrat-love-captain-tennille#24966 Author: Brian W.

I really, really detest this song and can't say I've ever listened very closely to it.

Yeah, it just fades out early. There's a long synthesizer "bongo" solo at the end after the rest of the music fades on the album length version.

Everybody seems to hate "Muskrat Love," but, you know, it's intended to be a silly, humorous novelty song. It's not supposed to be serious or romantic.

Incidentally, Captain and Tennille had no intention of ever releasing the song as a single. The third single from their second album was scheduled to be either "Wedding Song" or "Song of Joy." (It's unclear which was the intended A-side, since when this 45 was finally released as part of A&M's Forget-Me-Nots series, it appears from the matrix that the "A" and "B" sides were switched, with the old number on each side being scribbled out.)

But, as often happened in the '70s, some radio stations started playing the song and callers started requesting it, so A&M scrapped the third planned single and replaced it with "Muskrat Love."]]> Sat, 23 Jan 2010 17:30:50 +0000 https://top40musiconcd.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=634&PID=24966&title=muskrat-love-captain-tennille#24966 https://top40musiconcd.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=634&PID=24965&title=muskrat-love-captain-tennille#24965 Author: sriv94

I only have a promo of this. What is the difference between the promo edit and the LP/commercial 45? Just an early fade perhaps? I really, really detest this song and can't say I've ever listened very closely to it.
Interestingly, there's no indication on the promo copy that it's an edit...strange, since A&M would usually indicate it (even in cases like "Jackie Blue" where the promo & commercial 45s were the same edit from the album).]]> Sat, 23 Jan 2010 09:50:13 +0000 https://top40musiconcd.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=634&PID=24964&title=muskrat-love-captain-tennille#24964 https://top40musiconcd.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=634&PID=24962&title=muskrat-love-captain-tennille#24962 Author: eriejwg

Rather than purchase the Party Killers CD, is the DJ edit of "Muskrat Love" re-creatable?]]> Sat, 23 Jan 2010 00:43:50 +0000 https://top40musiconcd.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=634&PID=24962&title=muskrat-love-captain-tennille#24962
