For the record, I think muskrats are one of the cutest wild creatures, so when New York City musician Esther Crow reached out to share her new video “I’m a Muskrat,” I was already slightly biased in favor of it.
And luckily, the mid-tempo rocker with an appealing bluesy feel had a video almost as cute as the muskrat itself. It features Crow and her son Vincent decked out in muskrat makeup, acting out the muskrat tendencies she outlines in the song. In the genus kids-song-about-animals, this is definitely one of the better ones. (And if your kids aren’t into being a Disney/Marvel character for Halloween, maybe you can try a muskrat costume.)
You can find “I’m a Muskrat” on her album All Together Now, which was released this summer. Thanks to Esther for letting me world-premiere this song.
