Now I gotta spend the day seeing a $%^&@# octopus doing 8 legged James Brown moves. Thanks :-)
At first glance at your post I thought it would be about a Granddaddy Longlegs -- but before I opened the thread I realized that would be 6 legs and two feelers -- but likely not a bad dance .
This is really cool.. Love the vocal and the accompaniment. The hammer on's and bluesy riffs work well.
EDIT: Just played it for Janice and now she's weaving her arms around doing an octopus dance...and not a bad one. Scary.

There's a huge market for octo-blues, in case you were wondering. This made me think of a Pixar short and some of the scenes in Finding Nemo.
I think we need a sequel about a clown fish. You could call it "Little Striped Mama."

Hi Wendy, wow, if had known there was a HUGE market for the octo-blues, I would have made another verse. Thank you for taking time for the Eight Legged Daddy. Calvin http://www.soundclick.com/bands/0/calvinstewart

Whatever it is that you're smokin' let me know Calvin because I would love to get some of that unique inspiration that sets your music apart from everyone else. I really loved everything about this song. It's got a great story, a fabulous chorus and the kind of zany humor that only your mind could generate. Inspiring stuff, Calvin. Really good.

The extra instrumentation adds a lot to this tune. Where are you getting the cello/violin samples? You come a long way with your production skills and recording. Your story telling is as bizarre and fun as always.

Haha! You did it again. You put weird images in my mind. I was thinking of roman sandals, then stiletto heels and then galoshes to keep his feet dry.

Hey Calvin!
"Convention, kind of goes out the window" when critiquing your songs--this one's really unique, like it. I'd like the cello a little louder to compete slightly more with the picking. Maybe two verses before the chorus as well--not essential, just a feel I had. Nice work, as you Calvinized me for sure!
steady-eddie.
