#365songs (98 / 365)

Had to follow up my previous entry with my favorite song from the band that song is about.

The Unicorns released one album of very catchy, very ramshackle, very twee indie rock and then dissolved acrimoniously, and "I Was Born (A Unicorn)" is arguably the song with the most of all of that (catchy, ramshackle, twee and acrimonious). It's ridiculous start to finish but maybe the most ridiculous part — more ridiculous than one of the singers gasping out "If you stop believing in me!" like he's on the brink of death, more ridiculous than "I write the songs!" "I write the songs!" "You say I'm doing it wrong!" "You are doing it wrong!!" — is the po-faced spoken word part in the... what do you even call that, the bridge? The structure of this thing is like: ABCDEF. Nothing is repeated. There is so much song in this two-and-a-half-minute song.
