Remember watching my brother's VHS tape of their music videos growing up. Weird fact that I didn't realize until later in life: they did the soundtrack to the SNES game Spiderman: Maximum Carnage.

Saw these guys as a kid on a whim back when they were Green Jello at some grungy little club. Was a fun time - had someone impersonating Flea (I think) from Red Hot Chili Peppers doing nonsense on the stage. Never expected to ever think about them again.
For some reason this song has been in every karaoke catalog when I get dragged along by some friend and I always sing this.
Green Jellö, originally know as. Forced to change names by Kraft. So Green Jellÿ was the name, but Green Jell is fine too, I guess. Maynard and Carey from Tool were both in the band as well, right around the formation of Tool.
I had no idea about the Tool connection. thank you!
TIL Over 1,000 members have been part of Green Jellÿ since its inception.
There was another connection i had thought I remembered but time has taken it away from me
whoa hadn't thought about this in a while haha, i miss videos
that's the problem I guess? I dunno, before there was this gatekeeper of quality, for better or worse, mostly worse depending on who you were. It was more of a production, though I'm sure videos now probably capture the artist vision more if they are self made. I guess I just am not so interested anymore either as I don't really care who makes the music so much as about the music itself.
Loved this video as a kid. I have a puppy I call little one and I've been singing this song lately to her. Little one little one let me in
"The moral of the story is that a band with no talent can easily amuse idiots with a stupid puppet show."
Once in a while I'll circle back and smack teenage me in the head for passing on the CD pressing that still said Green Jellö. Teenage me was confused because all he knew was "Green Jellÿ." So that's what he bought.
Same shipping trip, teenage me also passed on buying a VHS of the album. Having not watched it in full(?) until much later in life, that would have been... something.
My copy says Green Jellö. I didn't know.it was rare.
