"Octopus" is a song on Jonathan Coulton's collection of unreleased tracks, The Aftermath.
History
"Octopus" was released on June 7th, 2007, the first song for which Jonathan streamed his recording sessions live over the Internet to inaugurate the JoCo in a Bubble project (archive: [1] [2]. [3] [4] [5] [6]). (He has since repeated this process with other songs from The Aftermath; see My Beige Bear and Lady Aberlin's Muumuu.)
According to Jonathan, this song was inspired by a YouTube video his daughter liked to watch, showing an octopus attacking and devouring a shark:
If you are a sea creature that an octopus wants to eat, God help you, because it's definitely going to eat you, and it's going to hurt a lot. So for a while I went around singing "Octopus, some kind of octopus," in my head and thinking about an octopus just tearing things to pieces, mostly crabs. Naturally, this became a nice metaphor for a breakup song (as long as I avoided using the word "sucker").
That sounds like a riot, Barbie. I've never done the mrsteyy theater thing, but for two years now, on my trip with my bunko friends, one girl brings a puzzle that is a mrsteyy. There is a set-up - about one chapter long - and you have to figure out the clues from the puzzle. Then you turn one of the sheets upside down and read it in a mirror to get the answers. It was a blast. Of course, I cheated and peeked.This year, it was especially hard because it didn't show you the picture on the box. We could only guess where the pieces went.Oh, I got my idea for a subplot for LIVER LET DIE from that first puzzle.
Trivia
- Len drew and painted a piece of art while the song was being recorded live via Ustream. A finished music video of the song, depicting the art being drawn in time-lapse, was released an hour after the song hit the net. This is the first time that a fan video and piece of art has appeared so soon after the song was released.
- Jonathan noted that the YouTube version of the video is a "a blatant violation of copyright," but there is an official version from the National Geographic Web site.
