I'm pretty sure that's an Octopus's garden... In the sea.

Brilliant comment, Bullish... when you know the source!

A simple google search shows it's a Beatles song, Octopus's Garden, one of the few songs written by Ringo Starr I hear.

But I didn't need google to tell me the source of this sunken musical civilization.

When I study my Japanese lessons, I often visit a local coffee shop called Penny Lane Bakery.  I bring my textbook, ear buds, and tablet to read, hear, and repeat the conversation dialogs.

It's a great study place were it not for a slight problem.  You see, because the theme of the coffee shop/bakery is The Beatles, Beatles songs are being played over and over again as background music.

It would be just fine if English wasn't my native tongue.   But it is, so my mind gets distracted by the lyrics being played,  And yeh, Octopus's Garden is one of those songs on the sound track.

So I'm trying to figure out a way to solve this problem, maybe buying one of those Bose quiet headphones.  Any ideas out there in FReeper land?

Sushiman, hope all is well.  I heard Kyushu got hit hard the past couple days by guerilla rainfall.  Take care, FRiend.
