In an Octopus’s garden

The idea for the song came about when Starr was on a boat in Sardinia. He ordered fish and chips but instead of fish he was given squid. He said ‘ it was ok, but was a bit rubbery’. The boats captain then told Starr about how octopus travel along the seabed looking for stones and shiny things to build gardens. This gave him the idea for the creation of the song.

That is beautiful and all so clear!!

Very nice

Great story, and I like your painting. The segmented background works well.

Fabulous work, Spencer. The background is wonderful to look at. I like the look of all the picture, however, that crab is my favorite. Nicely done.
