"White Unicorn" is a song by Australian hard rock band Wolfmother, featured on their 2005 debut studio album Wolfmother. Written by band members , Chris Ross and Myles Heskett, it was released as the second single from the album in Australia on 26 February 2006.
Edited by Kris Moyes, the music video for "White Unicorn" is made up of footage from various live performances, including at Big Day Out, Homebake, Meredith Music Festival and MTV Live, and was first aired in Australia on 7 April 2006.
A few months later, it was defaced by Kris Moyes with the help of a Disney Animator and re-released under the pseudonym Banditobruce in cooperation with Pav at Modular. The band were later told about the piece of subterfuge at a party.
Pitchfork Media writer Cory D. Byrom said the following about the song:
In his review of Wolfmother for music website Allmusic, critic Stephen Thomas Erlewine identified "White Unicorn" as one of the highlights of the album, while Rolling Stone writer Brian Hiatt described the song, in his review of the band's 2004 debut EP, as a "Viking-horned anthem" containing "some of the tastiest fuzz-guitar tones recorded in years, and Jimmy Page-worthy chordal riffing".
