I am dying laughing at the first chorus. "and also those eight arms" "our babies look like aliens had sex with a ghost" "calamari kids"

Jesus, this is fun. And the juxtaposition against the very light, romantic fingerpicking is the perfect setting for a human/octopus love story. Great Skirmish

OK, you got me with the #wtf. These lyrics keep getting better and better. Lovely straight presentation here with the serious (and lovely) vocals and clean guitar work contrasting with the lyrics. So good. This is the kind of thing that keeps me coming back to FAWM; weirdness I can't find anywhere else.

Ha Ha.. nice! Once you start you cant stop I guess. Follow it through to wherever. And with the delivery smooth as silk like this its close to believable.

LOL at the final verse! By chance, ever watch 'Resident Alien'? A great folky love song, with quite a twist!

I am absolutely cracking up with laughter, tears in my eyes on this one. "All your arms around me"!!! Your dead-serious sincere delivery make this work so well :-)

You know…I was Just bobbing along listening and not paying close attention and then heard “cephalopod” and was like…WUT? 😳This cracked me up. Did not expect the fate of the kids.

It is about an octupus ha ha very funny , great lyric - skilled deadpan delivery makes it even better. my daily laugh thx ------- and also those eight arms

This is hilarious...creative as all hell 😀 Another amazing skirmish song!! I love these lyrics so much!! You seem to be on a major amazing lyrics roll this year and I'm lovin it!! And I also love calamari !!! I'm surprised you didn't mention that octopi are aliens!!

I THOUGHT this might be about an octopus! The last song I commented on was Bill White's most recent song about a Whale. That made me think maybe there was some kind of song prompt happening. Nope. You're doing cephalopods proud today! ❤️

Bahaha, this is great, I can’t personally condone eating the kids, I’m a vegetarian, but you do you dude. The switch to weird was well disguised, took me by complete surprise. It made me laugh out loud. That’s not to mention the great classic country vocal and picking:)))

Haha! very sweet, except for the kids' fate 😆 🐙

Yeah, Willie Nelson meets Ringo :) That's a funny one

Now, I didn't see that one coming. Interesting song... Maybe no more cheese before bedtime? Ha ha ha

That's some nice pickin & singin y'all! Nice!

Haha! How fun and creative! Made my day!

Haha, glad you came out of your shell. Great singing and guitar.

Who knew? Very interesting write: love you voice and guitar- Could listen forever

So you just watched, "My Octupus Teacher" maybe? I love this! This is really creative and awesome. The final verse ending with the Calimari Kids is perfect!

Fun end lovely song beautifully performed

i can barely pronounce cephal-o-pod let alone sing it ;)

okay, you win. I dig these lyrics, and this song hits.

Some nice picking there and a lovely voice to carry the story. Which, is a hoot, by the way especially in the delivery. Way to go John!
