@jonnyandquinn It's true! The story is that Rovers leader Will Millar---who once hosted a children's television show in Canada, where the Rovers banded up (they were Northern Irish expatriates)---suggested the Rovers give "The Unicorn" a try; he'd always gotten a good ovation when he sang it on that show, and the Rovers were short of material for their second album. And the rest, as they say . . . ;)
aye, my parents inflicted a lot of different music on my brothers and i back when we were kids, a lot of it was crap, but I can't remember a single Irish band of theirs i didn't like...
my moms ex wich ended up being a jerk "as always" played this song and i love it lolbut im not reaally aloud to listen to it lol shhhh!!!!...
she found out 1 year later from his daughter that he was to get married with a person hes known so im trying to riun his relationship with her lol. fisrst i have to find her
Haven't heard this in years ! Love the Rovers.., and the pic you posted is almost identical ( well except for the unicorn) to my old friend . He was 34 when I put him to sleep .. He was my best friend for 31 years and I miss him everyday ! Thanks for posting !
Love this song. My sister & I would listen to it all the time when we were little. I can remember it was on a small record that came with a child's record player we got one Christmas.
it means that unicorns, like lemmings are by nature selfdestructive and therfore retarded ;)

My childhood right here. "The unicorns looked up from the rocks and they cried" has to be the most beautiful thing ever sung. Everyone else go home.
