I'd Like To Be Under The Sea
- A response to last night's Idol bashing of Octopus's Garden


I didn't really appreciate James & Andrew's too-cool-for-school slandering of 'Octopus's Garden' last night. I genuinely like that song, and here are five good reasons why:

1. It was written and performed by Ringo
2. It is great and cheerful and happy: 'We will sing, and dance around!'
3. They sing it on Play School
4. I have an mp3 of Noel singing it mixed together with 'Whatever' and it is great
5. It's got a great political ideology:

'Oh what joy, for every girl and boy, knowing they're happy and they're safe.'

'We would be so happy you and me, no one to tell us what to do'.
It leaves Imagine in the dust.

And, despite it's ridiculous lyrics and theme, it's actually a really good song. So stop the bashing now.
