Sorry, but the song was called "Muskrat Ramble" and it was penned and first
recorded by Texas singer/songwriter Willis Alan Ramsey.  While other people
did record top-40-ized crap versions of the tune, Ramsey's own laid-back
rendition is a classic and doesn't deserve the insult of being mentioned in
this discussion.  (Harrumph. :-) )

...Or is "Muskrat Ramble" an old Dixieland tune and "Muskrat Love" really
the name of Willis Alan Ramsey's song?  Ho hum.  Won't be my first big
goof on the net.
