Octopus's Garden

(Starkey)

Song background
Ringo was inspired to write "Octopus's Garden" by a boating trip during which the captain told him all he knew about octopuses, after offering him some to eat. Ringo was facinated with the fact that the animals build gardens out of shiny stones and other items.
