"Octopus's Garden" Is A Song By The English Rock Band The Beatles Written And Sung By Ringo Starr Credited To His Real Name Richard Starkey From Their 1969 Album Abbey Road. George Harrison Who Assisted Starr With The Song Commented "'Octopus's Garden' Is Ringo's Song. It's Only The Second Song Ringo Wrote And It's Lovely." He Added That The Song Gets Very Deep Into The Listener's Consciousness "because It's So Peaceful. I Suppose Ringo Is Writing Cosmic Songs These Days Without Even Realising It." It Was The Last Song Released By The Beatles Featuring Starr On Lead Vocals. Composition The Idea For The Song Came About When Starr Was On A Boat Belonging To Comedian Peter Sellers In Sardinia In 1968. He Ordered Fish And Chips For Lunch But Instead Of Fish He Got Squid It Was The First Time He Had Eaten Squid And He Said "It Was OK. A Bit Rubbery. Tasted Like Chicken." The Boat's Captain Then Told Starr About How Octopuses Travel Along The Sea Bed Picking Up Stones And Shiny Objects With Which To Build Gardens. Starr's Songwriting Was Further Inspired By His Desire To Escape Mounting Hostility Among The Beatles He Would Later Admit That He Had "just Wanted To Be Under The Sea Too". Uncredited Assistance In Developing The Song's Chord Changes Was Provided By Harrison Who Can Be Seen Helping Starr Work The Song Out On Piano With Lennon Later Joining In With Drums In The Documentaries Let It Be 1970 And The Beatles Get Back 2021 Both Using The Same Footage. The Song Which Contains The Lyrics "Oh What Joy For Every Girl And Boy/Knowing They're Happy And They're Safe " Is Sometimes Thought Of As Being A Song For Children Like "Yellow Submarine" Or "All Together Now".
