The Irish Rovers - The Unicorn - 45 RPM

[Salvus967]

This song brings me back to my childhood. My parents are from UK, I was raised in Canada. The only reason I know this song is because my parents had a Rolf Harris record... It has been years since I heard any of his songs...but I will never forget them.

[jimchamps]

I had that exact same 45. What a blast from the past. Thanks for Posting. Great memories

[xbutterfly1986x]

i used to listen to this when i was a kid all the time.

A record? HELLO! It's the 21st Century!

[shmuli9]

@theawesomestawesomer I'm glad you know what it is... It's sort of a not-so-compact compact disc. (Compared to having all the singers AND the band, it's QUITE compact.)

[claireandmatt1]

@theawesomestawesomer It's okey, records are still used today. :-)

[pastdweller]

Can you please upload a video of the record player playing "Black Velvet Band"? That song is on the flipside of this record.

[mms6217]

love this song soo cool

[mcmgag]

There's a movie out and it's about the end of the world and guess what? Yes, you guessed it - they built an ark for the lucky few!

[zip1212]

this also was my first favorite song and my first 45 ;)

[ablastfromthepast1]

Why is this recommended to me?

[rachellebout]

I passionately love this song for the nostalgia, etc...but have to laugh as an adult that many other adults believe in this Noah's Ark story. Oh, those poor people. It's just a really cute song, the end. :)

@rachellebout

Perhaps the Unicorn is an angel and the animals are people?

[lilmissmorbid89]

Ooh my, thank you for this post, lots of memories of better times...

[yoyoyocherry]

I loved this song as a girl. It brings back wonderful memories of sunny days and playing outside.

[idahodad1]

I would play this song over and over and over on the "Hi-Fi" record player. I was around 7 or 8 years old.

[parisekid8]

[sbhathena]

Is this the issue that has The Puppet Song as its flipside? Please post if so!

[MusicLuvr76]

On the flipside is a song called "The Black Velvet Band".

[yukonnahanni]

[jmiller12953]

my mum use to sing this to me when I was a wee child. I love it and it brings back so many memories

[glnelson1956]

Hearing the Irish Rovers perform "The Unicorn" always brings a smile. I've loved their version of this from the first time I heard it in the late 60's.

The song, and the Irish Rovers, are absolutely timeless.

[zeroisthehero1]

dont u forget my unicorn :D i love this song

[Greenhornet270]

I will be whistling this song all Night...I love it!

[MissyMouse67]

Humpty back camels... hehehe. This was used as the ending song to the Ray Rayner Show, a local Chicago kids show in the late 60s/70s. :)

[elmonious]

Just wonderful.

Takes me back.

Thanks for posting this wonderful song.

[Skybugger]

I'm only 18 but I've seriously listened to this song all my life XD

[JackNimble61]

My mother used to sing this to me and my sister at bedtime over 40 years ago. It brings tears to my eyes.

[digiteye2]

Not only was it high on the pop hits, but it was probably one of the reasons the Irish Rovers got a TV show... yes, a TV variety series! And the whole family used to sit around and watch it.

[Rafflersauce]

arfcom in the house

[TheHotmomma71]

love this song :D my sunday school class loves it too

[capricornlover27]

UNICORN!!!!!!!!!!!!;)

[GMLFire]

This was one of our favorite childhood songs! My sister, my step brother and I would make our stepmother play this one and "Ring Of Fire" over and over again.

Hearing this song now really makes me smile.

[JimmyShortyhi]

I like this song, it's funny :D

I heard like two years ago with my mom.

[44sterling]

First heard this song 37 years ago in grade school. Loved it then and love it today.

[three185]

It is hard to believe (for anyone who is 21 or

younger) but I lived through that '60s decade

and will proudly testify...Yes, friends, there

truly was a time when songs like this actually

did become pop hits and score high on the

national 'top40' charts. Sad moment, wasn't

it, when the unicorns realized they'd

screwed up! boohoohoo!

[TheFlocklessShepherd]

Found it! Everyone and their dog has this song out,but this is the first one I found that was actually performed by the Rovers!

[dknytodd]

lovely whimsical song! thanks for posting. :D
