Phoebe and Her Unicorn by Dana Simpson for October 24, 2023

I’m thinking of a sketch Dana once made that said “Once, there was a dragon who didn’t have any poems about her.”

Honestly, I would like to see a unicorn sing the national anthem.

“Neigh Neigh Neigh, I Really Like Hay” was a popular English drinking song.

Yes, it was Anacreon in Heaven, if I recall correctly.

“The world would be a better place with more songs written by unicorns.”

The world would be a better place with more songs… period.

Here’s the original song, “The Anacreontic Song” or “To Anacreon in Heaven.” Lyrics are in the description below the video.

I think you need a fourth and fifth ‘Neigh’ to fit the music to The Star Spangled Banner to the original unicorn song.

And nobody mention the Irish Rovers….

Did unicorns write The Song That Doesn’t End? It’s immortal, after all!

That would explain the melody, I guess.

Oh say can you neigh…

I did not know Frances Scott Key had a Unicorn!

“To Anacreon in Heaven”, an old English drinking song. Makes perfect sense, since Francis Scott Key was pretty much drunk most of the time.

Next we’ll find out Marigold wrote Beethoven’s Ninth Symphony, BORN TO RUN, and “I Will Always Love You.”

the star spangled banner was set to a tune ‘To Anacreon in Heaven’ about rich irish sons running amok, yup it’s a drinking song

They both sound awful.

And who KNEW that the Surafri’s WIPEOUT was initially a protest ballad conatining deep, philosophical unicorn lyrics?!?!

Wait, Marigold admitted that unicorns haven’t done the majority of something?

There actually is a song about a unicorn, written by Jim Valley.

Well, we do have Shel Siverstein’s “The Unicorn” (which was a hit for the Irish Rovers).

“And it seems to me you live your life like a hay bale in the wind….”

♫ ♪ Oh, neigh can you see… ♫ ♪

She could do a Wierd Al parody of the 1969 song by Steam: Neigh Neigh Neigh Neigh, Hay Hay, Goodbye.

Does Marigold write the songs that make the whole world sing? Does she write the songs of love and special things?
