As promised, here's a Mudcat thread link to the old Music Hall song "The Pearl Diver" which features a giant octopus:Pearl Diver Thread
My current theory is that my old friend/adventurer Dennis Puleston probably picked this song up in New Zealand or Australia when he was sailing around the world in the 1930's. I haven't found any other source in web searches or on Mudcat.
