There used to be this very popular bar in town called "The Unicorn" that we played frequently. Obviously this was a MUST play song for any group that played there. Over the years the words to this classic have changed a little for the locals around here. I'd post them but they are mostly obscene. It's funny though, It doesn't seem to matter where we play now, at least a couple of people in the audience know the new words, and are only too eager to prove it. -Rondo Fondu \| 4/16/2004
