I’m thinking this sounds similar to the way some of the superhero cartoons always did a scene change by singing the name of the hero in some sort of flashy manner. guess it’s kind of hard to come up with creative music ideas with only one word.
A long time ago, when the Earth was green,There was more kinds of animals than you’ve ever seen.And they ran about and played while the Earth was being born,And the loveliest of all was the unicorn.
There was green alligators and long-necked geese, humpty backed camels and some chimpanzees.Some cats and rats and elephants, but sure as you’re born,The loveliest of all was the unicorn.
The Lord seen some sinning and it caused Him pain.And He said, ‘Stand back, I’m going to make it rain!’He said, ‘Hey, Brother Noah, I’ll tell you what to do,Go and build me a floating zoo,’‘and take some’…‘Green alligators and long-necked geese,Some humpty backed camels and some chimpanzees.Some cats and rats and elephants, but sure as you’re born.Don’t you forget My unicorns.’
Old Noah was there to answer the call,He finished up the ark just as the rain started to fall.Then he marched in the animals two by two,And he called out as they came through,
‘Hey Lord,’
’I’ve got green alligators and long-necked geese,Some humpty backed camels and some chimpanzees.Some cats and rats and elephants, but Lord, I’m so forlorn,I just can’t find no unicorns!’
And Noah looked out through the driving rain,Them unicorns were hiding, playing silly games.Kicking and splashing while the rain was pourin’,Oh, them silly unicorns!
There was green alligators and long-necked geese,Some humpty backed camels and some chimpanzees.Noah cried, ‘Close the door because it’s starting to storm,And we just can’t wait for those unicorns!’
The ark started moving, it drifted with the tide,The unicorns looked up from the rocks and they cried.And the waters came down and sort of floated them away,That’s why you never see unicorns to this very day.You’ll see some green alligators and long-necked geese,Lots of humpty backed camels and some chimpanzees.Some cats and rats and elephants, but sure as you’re born,You’re never gonna see a unicorns!
Three frogs sitting on a log in the middle of a crystal lake. Frog 1 goes “Yoo”, frog 2 goes “Eek” and Frog 3 goes “Orrrrn”. Now tell me that you never heard that idea before! WASSUUUUUUP!
Maybe the song that Marigold played for Phoebe is just the short version (like how DEVO’s “That’s Good” comes in short and long versions)—the long version of “Unicorn” might be this: www.youtube.com/watch?v=9auOCbH5Ns4

It’s one of those songs that was meant to be played on a loop.

The jingle was thought up by the same ad agency that went on to produce: “♪♫ When You Say Budweiser, You’ve Said It All. ♪♫”

We really should’ve known. And may I say I like Phoebe outfit? The ponytail makes her look extra cute.

By now, Phoebe should be used to “Unicorn” being treated as a valid argument in itself.

Color me less than surprised by Marigold’s song of choice. I still like the Irish Rovers’ Unicorn song (See Above) better.

If she listens to the song too long, will she become entranced?
