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.

Ooh Mother
Unicorn Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Keep it in your head
Don't get in debt, don't fret or forget
To wish your neighbor well
Small talk, small folk, converse, tell joke
Tell it like it aint
make it, make out, pull through, fall out
Ooh mother it aint like the way you said
Ooh sister well it seems we've been misled
Ooh baby is it worth it, is it hell
Old lady you could tell us
So tell us well
Get smart, leave school, grow hard, be cool
Keep it in your head
Don't get in debt, don't fret or forget
To wish your neighbor well
Ooh mother it aint like the way you said
Ooh sister well it seems we've been misled
Ooh baby is it worth it, is it hell
Old lady you could tell us
So tell us well
Ooh mother it aint like the way you said
Ooh sister well it seems we've been misled
Ooh baby is it worth it, is it hell
Old lady you could tell us
So tell us well
The lyrics of Unicorn's song 'Ooh Mother' express a rebellious sentiment of rejecting traditional societal expectations and choosing to live life on one's own terms. The opening lines advise the listener to leave school and grow hard, which can be interpreted as pursuing life experiences beyond formal education and developing a tough exterior to navigate through life's challenges. 'Be cool' implies an attitude of indifference towards what others think, and 'keep it in your head' emphasizes the importance of staying true to oneself.
The following lines encourage the listener to avoid debt and worry, and to maintain positive relationships with others. 'Small talk, small folk, converse, tell joke' suggests that the listener should not get bogged down in societal norms and instead focus on lighthearted and meaningful interactions with others. 'Make it, make out, pull through, fall out' implies that success and setbacks are a natural part of life, and one should keep adapting and persevering.
The chorus, which repeats throughout the song, is a lament for the misleading advice and expectations of 'mother,' 'sister,' and 'baby' (perhaps society, family, and peers) who don't fully understand the realities of life. The phrase 'is it worth it, is it hell' suggests that the listener questions the traditional paths they were told to follow and wonders if there is a more fulfilling way to live. The final line, 'old lady you can tell us, so tell us well,' implies that the singer is seeking advice from someone with more life experience and wisdom.
