the unicorn song

I was bored with WPFW and scanning radio stations when I landed on the classic rock station, which was playing the Rovers cover of that American Irish pub favorite, Shel Silverstein’s Unicorn Song.

As if this wasn’t odd and amusing enough, I realized when the last chorus started that many people in surrounding cars were sort of dancing along. In their cars. And presumably sober.

I was near tears watching the Boomers act out “cats and rats and elephants” as they waited for the light to change. I think it may well have been the single weirdest (and funniest) thing I’ve ever seen while driving to work.
