Creative Tuesdays - Beatle song

The Beatles's song 'Octopus's Garden' was my choice for this weeks Creative Tuesdays challenge. This was on their Abbey Road Album back in 1969 and written by Ringo Star.


I won't quote all the lyrics to Octopus's garden, but this is one small part:

"I'd like to be
Under the sea
In an octopus' garden
In the shade."

Although I remember Beatle mania very well, I was not a great fan of all of their music but did like this one in particular.

If you pop over to Mr T's blog you will see what other Beatles songs have come alive in picture.

    This is super cute, and I love your happy Octopus. Technically speaking, great use of the blue and orange complimentary colors! I didn't know about this song of theirs either so I am curious :-D

    Such a happy song and happy picture! I like how the octopus is holding flowers in his many "arms" and handing one to the girl.
