Hahaha Ringo Starr-centric

untrue [Edit] [Delete] 25 replies 21:24, 10 September '09

The idea for the song came about when Starr was on a boating trip with his family in Sardinia in 1968. He ordered Fish and Chips for lunch, but instead of fish he got squid (it was the first time he'd eaten squid, and said "It was OK. A bit rubbery. Tasted like chicken.")[citation needed] Then the boat's captain told Starr about how octopuses travel along the sea bed picking up stones and shiny objects with which to build gardens.[1] Starr said that hearing about octopuses spending their days collecting shiny objects at the bottom of the sea was one of the happiest things he had ever heard, inspiring him to write this song.

  • That is a really happy thing.

    Ringo was the most loveable of the Fabs, surely?

      • /\ Not this

        the order of loveability for the Beatles goes:

        George
        John
        Ringo
        Paul

        and don't you forget it (or succumb to independent thought)

          used to make fun of disabled people and pull 'grotesque faces' at them.

            he wasn't just very fond of sour sweets?

      • I'm referring to 60s Ringo

        as opposed to Noughties Huckster Ringo.

          Tell him those fucking drumsticks belong up his fat arse.

  • Ringo is the most loveable Beatle.

    George was the most dislikeable. Trying to split up the best band in the world just because the best songwriting partners of all time won't let you steal their thunder is fucking out of order.

    Ringo is great!

    • It's interesting how people always think Lennon and McCartney hated each other

      When the real hatred was McCartney and Harrison.

      L&McC were like Federer and Nadal, striving to out do each other to be the best.

      I heard a story - not sure if it's true - that they were going to call the Beatles anthology "The Long and Winding Road" but when asked Harrison replied "Your not naming it after one of that cunt's songs"

      LordLuciusBanter @wrightylew | 11 Sep '09, 13:13 | X
      • Yeah, but those stories of Lennon going round McCartney's and smashing shit up say otherwise.

        Plus Lennon blamed McCartney for pushing them on with Sgt Pepper's while they were still grieving Brian Epstein's death. I don't know much about the Harrison-McCartney divide though, sounds interesting.

        You could really pin blame on any of them for the break up, you could say Starr walking out of the band during the White Album or McCartney driving everyone crazy after becoming obsessive compulsive with Maxwell's or Lennon being a dick to everyone was the reason.

    • I always disliked George the most as well.

      I just hated his smug expression.
