The Irish Rovers, "The Unicorn".

For my mom. Occasionally, my mom (full blooded Irish) would sneak this on between my dad's Johnny Cash and
George Jones etc.
If you remember it, it might be fun to share with a youngster.

I've always liked that song. It's so damn corny, but it always made me smile and feel good. I think you're right -- young people especially will find it appealing.
