Who here loves the song "Octopus Blues"?

That was one of the best songs that Kevin Clash ever did!

"I've got the 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 blues" :sing:

Oh that song rocks! You gotta feel for that poor octopus having to pay a fortune for 8 diamond rings for his girl. But hey, it could've been worse. For a squid has 10 arms and a nautilus has over 90 arms.

That song is a real "awww!" inducer, especially the verse where the octopus complains that it would take until next Saturday night to hug his girlfriend.

"Oh no, no, no, no...
I don't know which arms to use.
I've got the 1-2-3-4
5-6-7-8 blues!"

BTW, a user with the screenname "lastofthegypsies" posted this clip to YouTube today; I'd include a link but it's buried too deep in my history. *blush*

I'm lastofthegypsies. :smile: .

The reply to the video remarked about the coincidence that this video should appear so quickly after this thread. The truth is, I was looking for a new video to post, and I got inspired when I saw this thread, since it appeared that there was an audience for this particular clip. Anyway, I hope you guys enjoy it!
