Octopuses Garden

Octopus's Garden,which is likely to mean other songs feature the word Octopus too.

I swore The Beatles had deliberately got the formatting of the pluralisation wrong writing it the way I did), nonetheless, the way it's pluralised needs to be duplicated for it to be discounted, not Octopus!

45 songs according to lyric.com though I’d never heard of any of them. It seems to be used as a simile in lots of rap songs.

There it is! I told you this should just have been filled with Rap lyrics,often misspelled to look 'cool.'

Oranges in without me by Eminem. He manages to rhyme it even though it's supposed to be impossible to rhyme.

 

But obviously it'll get Pearce'd

Oranges and lemons say the bells of St Clemence 

[Engineman Hicks]

The Ostrich song by the Wombats ? 

[cloggypop]

Do The Ostrich is an early Lou Reed song.

This is the problem, google is ruining this. How do we know any of those 45 songs are in any way popular or successful and not some bell end getting his guitar out at a house party?

I agree. I’m not checking the other 25. I think it’s a reasonable rule that the duplicate has to appear in a song by an established artist not some kid in his mum’s box room. On that basis I think octopuses is legitimate.

'Some kid in his Mum's box room' is just describing the top 40 for the last decade.

O - I would be surprised if there was another song with this in.

 

Who’s inneath The Ooser-Rod?
Horny devil? Goaty God?
What is God in ethly guise?
One or mampus giant eyes?

 

From the PJ Harvey song "A Child's Question, July"

 

From the lyrics notes:

 

Ooser-Rod – a devil’s penis, abnormally large; ‘The Dorset Ooser’ (/ˈoʊsər/) – also oose or wu’se. A mask with grim jaws, put on with a cow’s skin to frighten folk.

Brilliant suggestion but see also the Good, the bad and the Queen. 
I think they count as an established band. 

[Remmie]

Plus we already have oesophagus

It does appear in a lot of other songs but mainly obscure goth or metal bands that nobody has ever heard of so I’m not counting them.
