I've always wanted to a single with "Love Will Keep Us Together" on one side, and "Love Will Tear Us Apart" on the other.

I'd buy that!

You have to have C+T do Love Will Tear Us Apart and have New Order do Love Will Keep Us Together. That's the single.

oh. my.gawd. the first record I ever had ( that wasn't kids music like Free To Be You And Me, or Sesame Street songs) was Captain & Tennille. it was "Song of Joy", with the quirky single Muskrat Love.

yeah. for reals.

Nice. I've been on a weird, 70's sappy-jam kick this weekend. Captain & Tenille and super-old-school Billy Joel. And the new M.I.A.!

Carpenters! Sappy 70s isn't complete without them! :)

The Carpenters are indeed amazing, but for some reason, I never fully got in to them. I'm sure I will eventually.

I'm of mixed feelings on them. At least half of their material is so appallingly sappy and cloying and... wholesome... that I can't stand it. "Sing" is one of the most nauseating songs ever written, and a few seconds of the chorus with will have me vomiting gallons of liquid saccharin. But every know and then they'd pull off something so brilliant that I just can't out-and-out hate them. "They Long To Be Close To You" is one such example IMHO.

Correct! "Sing" is a good example of why I'm not a big fan.

favourite song evah, when I was a kid...

we sometimes play Muskrat Love for giggles now.

[goodolmike.livejournal.com]

What is up with that song?! And the critter noises...

Who needs Prozac when you can listen to the Captain and Tennille all day?

I love them so much. I want to wrap my arms around that music.
