“Octopus’s Garden”

Ringo’s featured spot on “Abbey Road” came from the time he’d quit the band  during the White Album sessions. He and his family relaxed on Peter Sellers’ yacht in the Mediterranean, and the captain told them how an octopus would arrange stones, etc., on the sea floor to create a rock garden of sorts. George contributed a pretty cool intro, and Starr blew bubbles through a straw for effect. A fun kiddie song - Ringo had a knack for writing that sort of thing.
