Ringo wrote this song after he stormed out of the White Album sessions.
He went on vacation in Sardinia, and while sitting around on the beach he met a fisherman who told him about the octupus' at the bottom of the sea.
He explained how they go around the bottom collecting stones and shiny objects to build a garden with. This sounded interesting to Ringo as, at the time he too wanted to be under the sea, away from it all.
Geroge would later re-write most of the song in the studio before recording began, but full credit was still given to Ringo.
