1. Unicorn from the United Kingdom played country and folk rock. They broke up in 1977. Several of the bands album were produced by (and featured contributions by) David Gilmour of Pink Floyd.

2. Unicorn was a progressive melodic rock band from Sweden, fronted by Dan Swanö (Bloodbath, Edge of Sanity, Nightingale). They released two full-length albums (Emotional Wasteland and Ever Since), two EPs (After Before and The Weirdest of Tales), and two demos (A Collection of Worlds I and A Collection of Worlds II).

The band's style was a far cry from the brutal death metal Swano would later become known for. (Swano formed Unicorn as a young teen.) Unicorn is a very melodic, light progressive band. Nightingale comes closest to their style, though even Nightingale is much heavier.

Swano is currently working on a new project called Second Sky. He says Second Sky is the new Unicorn. An album is expected in 2009.

3. Unicorn (ユニコーン) is a Japanese band fronted by Okuda Tamio(奥田民生), active in the 80s and early 90s. During that time the band released eight albums and nine singles. The band reunited in 2009.

12. UNICORN from the U.S. plays noise drone electronics. W. T. Nelson formerly of Bastard Noise (risen from the ashes of Man Is the Bastard) and Sleestak has released a split CD with noise artist 2673, a split CD with Bastard Noise, and a full-length titled "Playing with Light". Less harsh and more melodic than previous projects.

15. Unicorn is a five-member girl group formed for Girls Planet 999's Creation Mission. The group consists of K-Group's Kang Ye Seo (강예서), Kim Bo Ra (김보라) and Kim Chae Hyun (김채현), C-Group's Huang Xing Qiao (黄星侨), and J-Group's Kawaguchi Yurina (川口ゆりな). Together, the team performed and released "Utopia".

16. Unicorn ( 유니콘‬ ) was a five member South-Korean group under Cartoon Blue Company. Produced by R&B singer Kim Jo Han, they debuted on September 3, 2015 with the mini-album UNICORN 'Once Upon A Time'. The group disbanded in September 2017. The group consisted of Rumi, Yujin, Gayoung, Sally and Winnie (who had left the group before their disband). Sally is now a soloist under the name Soseo and Gayoung is now a soloist under the name Mauve with the debut single My Cat.

17. Unicorn is led by Jenna Hardie, who has previously fronted other Perth bands like The Government and Gold Suns. Unicorn has released two singles so far, Cats and Twisted.

遠い国から
大きな黒船にのってきた
便利なものとあぶない物と
僕のお嫁さん
一目で僕はその場に釘づけさ
動けない
ひとみの色と髪の毛の色
見た事ない色

どうすればいいの
船の上の彼女に
僕の思いは
僕らの言葉で伝わるの
僕に君の話を聞かせてくれよ
僕のとなりで全部教えてくれよ
世界のいろんな人たちの
KISSのしかたはどう違うの
みんなはゴタゴタ
あわてているけれど
恐がる
お人も中にはいるけれど
僕の彼女はあそこにいる
長いスカートが風にゆれた

どうすればいいの
こっちを見てる彼女
しょうがない笑ったら
不思議ななまりのコ･ン･ニ･チ･ワ
二人が歩けば誰もがふりかえる
僕らは笑顔で歴史をぬりかえる
文明開化のこの国は
君と僕の手のひらの上
まだまだ車も電話もないけれど
すこしずつしか
変わりはしないけれど

みんなの前で KISSをしたら
そこらの枯木に花が咲いた

Overall Meaning

The lyrics of Unicorn's song "車も電話もないけれど" (Even though we don't have cars or telephones) tell the story of a person who comes from a distant country on a big black ship. They encounter both useful and dangerous things, but what captivates them the most is their future wife. At first sight, the person is mesmerized by the unfamiliar colors of her eyes and hair. They are unsure of what to do and how to communicate their feelings to her, who is on the ship. They express their desire to hear her story and ask her to be by their side, so they can learn from her and understand how different people around the world express their love.

The song highlights the contrast between the old and the new, with references to the absence of cars and telephones. Despite the lack of modern technology, the person and their partner embark on a journey where they can change history with their smiles. They describe their country as a place of civilization and enlightenment, where their hands hold the power to shape the future. The lyrics convey a sense of optimism that even though they may not have much, the smallest actions like a kiss can bring unexpected joy and beauty to the world, symbolized by flowers blooming on withered trees.
