Afternoon Aural: Captain and Tennille
 


In ten years, once the United States is but a thing of the pasts, anthropologists will no doubt form two camps: those who think "Muskrat Love" led to our nation's untimely demise, and those who think this Captain and Tennille track's the bee's knees.

We're going with the former - it's a love song about muskrats. Why?! (Because we Americans take humanity for granted, that's why.)

For those of you who prefer something a bit more realistic, enjoy "Love Will Keep Us Together" - after the jump…

The muskrats had just jumped onto the Captain's hat, and Tennille had just sung "anything goes" so I blurted out "like anal?". That was when the muskrats started rubbing butts. Priceless.

I kept having this "deja vu" feeling while watching Muskrat Love. Then I realized it created the same kinda dreamy catatonic feeling I used to get when watching the TeleTubbies!

OK, we're headed in the wrong direction with these Morning/Afternoon Aurals. What happened to the metal?!?!

My theory is that every era had its female singer/male producer/instrumentalist duo.

The Carpenters were the first, then Captain and Tennille, then Eurythmics, then…

Um, I don't count Dresden Dolls, because the female played a majorly used instrument and didn't just sing, so…

Who else?

In response to Coke I would propose the White Stripes.

@ Alan: Meg plays drums and doesn't do the main vocals. That's more what I was thinking. It does kind of match up, though.

@ Graham: I dunno Fiery Furnaces. :(
