Starbucks' Unicorn Frappuccinos are huge right now. So huge, in fact, that one man made up a song about the mythical new drink which arrived in stores two days ago.

Paul Harlan posted a video of him serenading a barista at a Starbucks drive-thru with a truly magical song.

"Well, I just heard the news today, there's a unicorn in my frappé," sand Harlan, who also works at Starbucks.

"Close my eyes, begin to say, can I get one in a grande?" Harlan sang.

The barista, stunned by his mellifluous singing voice, happily obliged. According to Harlan's Facebook post, he got the Frappuccino for free.

Nice work!
