Songs about octopuses ...or octopi
In light of the fame acquired by Paul the Octopus, the soccer prognosticating octopod in the Sea Life Aquarium in Oberhausen Germany, I have put together a list of songs having to do with octopuses ahead of the 2010 Soccer World Cup Final. The Beatles' "Octopus's Garden" is the most well known and most covered of these songs by far.

... and finally, we have the band Octopodes with only a 2009 album under their belt.
