I'M NOT A BIT PRONE TO FANTASY AND MYTHS, BUT THE SONG "THE UNICORN" AS PERFORMED BY THE IRISH ROVERS HAS BEEN HANGING AROUND
MY FAMILY FOR MANY YEARS.
MY DAUGHTERS, JUDY AND JOY, NEARLY WORE THAT 8-TRACK TAPE OUT LISTENING TO THE SONG OVER AND OVER. AND NOW THEIR KIDS LISTEN TO THE SONG OVER AND OVER...
NOW THE LITTLE SONG HAS MADE ITS WAY TO MY WEB SITE. HOPE I CREATED IT WELL ENOUGH TO MAKE THE POINT THAT IT HAS MADE WITH ME FOR A LONG TIME.
SHEL SILVERSTEIN WROTE THE SONG IN 1962, BUT IT REMAINED JUST A LITTLE KIDS SONG UNTIL THE IRISH ROVER RECORDED IT IN 1968. IT MADE IT TO THE #10 SPOT ON THE MUSIC CHARTS!
