A theatrical, costume-heavy comedy rock band, Green Jelly found success in 1993 with their surprise Top 40 hit "Three Little Pigs" and its accompanying claymation video. The single appeared on their Billboard-charting sophomore LP Cereal Killer Soundtrack. Led by vocalist and sole constant member Bill Manspeaker, the band emerged in 1989 and went on hiatus after the release of 1994's 333. They reconvened in 2009 with the original lineup and released Musick to Insult Your Intelligence By, and in 2021 they issued their fifth long-player, Garbage Band Kids.
Green Jelly began their career as Green Jellö in 1981. The name was chosen due to the band's poor opinion of green-flavored jello, and they decided it also appropriately reflected the quality of their music. Hailing from New York, the bandmates never attempted to be good, deciding instead to "disguise their lack of ability with stupid props," as their liner notes once put it. Green Jellö appeared on The Gong Show touting themselves as the world's worst band, but the real turning point came in 1988, when they met GWAR and learned how to sculpt props and costumes with latex, papier-mache, chicken wire, and couch cushions. They attracted a small, curious following with their bizarre, cartoonish look and wound up signing with Zoo Records as a video-only band.
Having already released several EPs and one album (1989's Triple Live Möther Gööse at Budokan), Green Jellö made their Zoo Records debut with Cereal Killer, a "video album" that featured music videos for each song. Filled with silly costumes and simple, bubblegum metal songs, Cereal Killer became a hit once the clay-animation video for "Three Little Pigs" started showing up on MTV. Demand for the band's music increased, and the guys responded by releasing Cereal Killer Soundtrack -- essentially the audio version of their video-only album -- in 1993.
