Thread Name: Versions: Unicorn Song (Green Alligators)^^^
Subject: RE: Lyr req: Unicorn Song (Green Alligators)^^^
Well, I do, Joe, and the magazine cartoon that inspired my song, "The Last Griffin," was published about 1966. In 1983, I made up the song on a long car trip, based on that cartoon. I may have heard bits of the Unicorn song sometime in the '70's but not much of it -- until last year, when I finally got a tape of it.

As I said, the two songs have little in common except that they both deal with mythical creatures that did not get onto the ark. But I was curious about the Unicorn publication date.

Somehow I doubt that these are the only two songs with that topic, especially since that cartoon showed up in 1966.

Thanks for the info.
