I know they were a canadian-irish band (will millar live a few miles from me http://www.qrz.com/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/wink.gif )

Alot of concerets they do in CA and OR and other places. Man their songs are funny.

Wasn't that a party!

The Unicorn was a very popular song here back in the early 70's.

There was another Cd group called the "Stampeders" that had a couple of good songs back then too.

My favorite Canadian song is "Take off, to the great White North", or maybe "The Safety Dance", kind of a tossup.

I remember them I liked the Unicorn Song I was about 8 yrs old when I 1st heard it

Yep, I remember listening to the Unicorn Song as a child. I kinda think earlier than the early 70s but I can't swear to it. In fact I have it on my mp3 player. But I never heard of anything else they did.

I got some green alligators and long neck geese . . .
I just can't see no unicorns . . .

I can vaguely remember that song, too, but I must admit that "The Chieftains" has to be my favorite Irish group. Man, Paddy and the gang are getting OLD ! http://www.qrz.com/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/sad.gif

I like the Irish Rovers.
Their song, "The Orange and the Green" is a bit politcal.
The ending of one verse, "He'd play the harp, or play the flute, depending where he was!"
