Poll: What do you think of the Beatles' 'Octopus's Garden?'

Well actually I really like that song and the skit done by the Muppet Show put it to good use. I even put it on my octo video. As a child I always wanted an octo and TV was the closest i thought i would ever get to one. Now I really do have and Octopus' garden, right here in my livingroom!!!!!!!. My kids had never heard that song before 
and now when i play the video they sing it, amazing, I just revealed my age LOL

I showed my gf that video with the song - she loved it and ended up watching the video about 10 times. Now whenever one of us gets stressed we start to sing that song and then we can't help but laugh (and then get it stuck in our heads for the rest of the day)
I showed it to her to convince her that she wants a little octo - I think it worked!

Its a crackin little cheeky song that, u'd have to be mad to take it seriously!!
Although since you mention live and let die, im sure you would of been impressed with the onstage an above stage firework display when Mcartney sung live an let die at glastonury last year. Finished the show an went off like a bomb.
It was a good old beatlesy sing song when he wasnt playin his new stuff which he didnt much at all.

I would argue that the song is actually considerably more serious than it seems. With the turmoil the band was in at the time, I'm sure Ringo's sentiments weren't far out of phase with the lyrics. He's certainly singing with a little harsher emotion in his voice than other instances where he sang.
As for Wings, I'll take Band on the Run any day.
