My daughter has come up with a Unicycle theme song. She’s embellished upon the Arlo Guthrie tune, ‘Motorcycle Pickle Song’.
<snip>
I don’t want a pickle, I just want a ride on my Unicycle.
And I don’t want a die, I just want ride on my Unicy… …cle.
<end>
It’s a great tune and very funny- especially when changed to the Uni version.
Good one!
I tried to find a WAV link for The Motorcycle Song , but I gave up the search.
For those of you who aren’ t familiar with this tune, you have to rhyme “cycle” with “pickle” in the first line, and then rhyme “cy” …(cle) with “die” in the next.

This isn’t the right song. Anyway, Arlo probably isn’t the wealthiest guy in
the world… go out and buy the CD. Its on an album called Alices
Restaurant… which is definately worth listening to for the title track
alone.
Certainly a good theme song though. You can see all the lyrics at

change numerals to letters to reply
people should send arlo money and lots of it, if only for alice’s restauranrt masacree
i love the suggestion of the uni version of the motorcyle song
not quite a match for alice in terms of length, i know of versions running up to about 12 minutes
if u can idle, strum a guitar and sing the unicycle version of the song, let me know
i’ll fly out to come watch!
Re: Unicycle theme song
Hi!
There´s another unicycle song…
What about ‘Hymn of the Big Wheel’ by Massive Attack?
Lyrics on http://www.alwaysontherun.net/massive.htm#9
(‘The big wheel keeps on turning
On a simple line day by day
The earth spins on its axis
One man struggle while another relaxes…’)
Listen to it on

Does anybody know a ‘geared unicycle’-song???
Frank
u mean ‘geared’ as opposed to unplugged?
didn’t think so
whil on the subject of big wheels lets not forget about that classic piece of ‘swamp-rock’
‘big wheel keeps on turning
proud mary keeps on burning…’
could be applicable after plenty of miles

How about BST, Spinning Wheel?
What goes up
must come down
spinning wheel
got to go around
talkin’ ‘bout your troubles
it’s a cryin’ sin
ride a painted pony
let the spinning wheel spin
-Tom
I always thought that Blood, Sweat and Tears song was about either a Merry-Go-Round/carousel (ride a painted pony), or a roulette wheel, or both… either way, it seems to be a horizontal wheel…
Hi guys,
You don’t know me, but I feel like I know you since I’ve been following along with great interest for some time now.
Couldn’t resist adding this to the unicycle playlist.
“This wheel’s on fire,
Rolling down the road,
Best notify my next of kin
This wheel shall explode!”
The Band
(Speaking for myself, of course. I’m sure you all have it under control)
I now retreat to my lair
uniphiable 
How about the “The Wheel”, by the Grateful Dead
Can’t speed up, and can’t slow down
Can’t let go, and can’t hold on
Every time that wheel goes round,
bound to cover just a little more ground
Joe in Iowa
Perfectamundo!
Way to go Joe
and it makes me wonder
Did Jerry ride a Uni??
NAH!
If he had, he might still be with us.

We used that one for a spinning plate act in a children’s circus…
