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.

ポカポカ土曜日ボクは芝生の
ベンチで欠伸を飲み込む
オーファファファ
白衣のマドンナルミさんの検温
心も踊るよな
三月に一度時には来ない
生意気盛りの孫抱きゃ好好爺
利発な嫁に息子は言いなり

ああ誰に似たのやら
つらつらと振り返る
素晴らしき哉我人生は上々
涙一粒
働くだけ働いて
愛した女二人だけ
Oh!What a Beautiful Mornin'.
I'm glad to know that
I will die in bed

はらはらと枯葉散り
素晴らしき哉我人生は上々
涙一粒涙二粒
煙草や酒程々で
燃え尽きるの我慢して
Oh!What a Beautiful Mornin'.

I'm glad to know that
I will die in bed
