25. Why did I photograph this record? Because it has Muskrat Love on it, the worst and most annoying song ever written. Did you know that Captan & Tennille did not write it, that it's a cover? They actually listened to the original and decided that it was so good that it needed to be recorded again! Unbelievable, but great for torturing your enemies
