Muskrat Love: World's best ever lyrics?

I wonder if C&T cut a new version for Richard Gere. :-X :-X

 

If you hate Muskrat Love, you hate America...





...'cause they wrote it.

 

My money, if I had any, would be on Bohemian Rhapsody, followed closely by You Never Even Called Me By My Name by David Allan Coe.

 

Can't you see that I am all for your love
Now, Now -
Can't you see
Can't you see
How much I need some more love
Baby
Can't you see
Can't you see
Ever since we kissed that night
Ever since I held you tight
I just don't want nobody else
So put your lips on mine
Leave them there 'til the morning time
Lord don't leave me by myself

Lay a little lovin' on me
Lay a little lovin' on me
Honey doggone it
I depend upon it
So lay a little lovin' on me
You're gonna want me Babe
Lay a little lovin' on me
Lay a little lovin' on me
Honey doggone it
I depend upon it
So lay a little lovin' on me

 

Yeah but Micro, listen to her songs and wonder what kind of life choices she makes. There's something seriously wrong with the insatiable jones she has for the Cap'n's Crotch.

Nearly all of their songs are about humping that mustachioed freak of nature.

What kind of demon magic was he weaving over that woman? It sure as hell wasn't his looks, his sartorial splendor (he looked like he got kicked out of an Old Spice ad), his ability to play piano/keyboard, his ability to write a song, his ability to have less facial hair than a Muppet (they were kind of disturbing when they were on that show), his ability to keep chili out of his 'stache, his ability to not cause a third-degree chaffe burn when he went to town on Tenielle's muskrat.

Whatever Kuma Sutra-like power he had must have been prodigious, because, seriously, who would fuck that?

 

I disagree, Bub.
I've got a certain respect and even admiration for Captain Dragon.
It's not easy to make that look work, but he did it somehow.
Not a choice I would make, but I respect it.

 

Muskrat Susie?
Hit it or not?

 

I think qualuudes had a lot to do with it.

 

And what else would you expect "Pigeons" to do?  ;D

Try "Whodunnit" ... Genesis, post-Hackett era of course. Not one of the group's shining moments.

Was it you or was it me?
Or was it he or she?
Was it A or was it B?
Or was it X or Z?

Was it you or was it me?
Or was it he or she?
Who dunnit?

I didn't do it....
But we all know who did it

 

I kinda like that song. It's clearly a blowoff song, but it's catchy.

 

Did anybody do nonsense lyrics better than The Turtles?


You got a thing about you
I just can't live without you
I really want you, Elenore, near me
Your looks intoxicate me
Even though your folks hate me
There's no one like you, Elenore, really

Elenore, gee I think you're swell
And you really do me well
You're my pride and joy, et cetera
Elenore, can I take the time
To ask you to speak your mind
Tell me that you love me better

I really think you're groovy
Let's go out to a movie
What do you say, now, Elenore, can we?
They'll turn the lights way down low
Maybe we won't watch the show
I think I love you, Elenore, love me

Elenore, gee I think you're swell
And you really do me well
You're my pride and joy, et cetera
Elenore, can I take the time
To ask you to speak your mind
Tell me that you love me better

 

There's actually a pretty good story about this song. At the time The Turtles were trying to make a foray into psychedelia, but their label insisted that they should be recording more knockoffs of "Happy Together". So, in repsonse Flo and Eddie wrote "Elenore" in about ten minutes and submitted it as a single in the hope that their label would realize how ridiculous it was and that they would finally get to record what they wanted. Unfortunately for them, the label loved the song.
