"Octopus's Garden" by The Beatles seems apropos.

    If you were a jellyfish, what songs would be on your fave playlist?

    The water level music from every Mario game, as well as Donkey Kong Country's, along with Ween's album "The Mollusk."

    Dick Dale era surf guitar (someone else mentioned this as well, adding the best artist name). Dick Dale also did a cover of Claude Debussy's "The Aquarium" which is the sound track for Space Mountain at Disneyland/World. So either or both, and there might be other covers of "The Aquarium" out there if the original isn't too slow.

    Going more ocean-themed....

    Aquabats or Tsunami Bomb for some early 2000s punk/ska that isn't ocean-themed but the bands are kinda.

    Tide is High - Blondie

    Scuba Diver - King Kong (it's a weird song, but hypnotic)

    Where is My Mind - Pixies (about fish, but close enough)

    Beyond the Sea by Bobby Darin

    Maybe more sailing themed, but that's close, right?

    Brandy by Looking Glass

    My Heart Will Go On - there's a Dragonforce metal cover of this if you've been traumatized by the pennywhistle.

    Come Sail Away - Styx

    Moog Cookbook do covers of alt rock songs on (surprise) moog synthesizers. Always felt they sound quite Jellyfishy.

    I feel like a lot of Superorganism is jellyfish-y, but in a psychedelic way.

    Sounds fun! ๐Ÿ˜

    A few suggestions:

    B52s - Rock Lobster
    Smoke City - Underwater Love
    PJ Harvey - We Float
    The Beatles - I'm Looking Through You
    Sebastian (Little Mermaid) - Under the Sea

  • For whatever reason my first thoughts was Opiuo - Meraki

    If I were a jellyfish I'd be bopping to this as I swam around the ocean xD

    How about the music from the Splatoon games? They're squids and octopi, but they sound suitably fishy.

    Dire Dire Docks from Mario 64. If not the original, then this jazz cover by The Consouls - https://youtu.be/5Mhk9zxb1mw

    I'd be flubbalin and wubbalin in the waves all day to this track.

    What does a jellyfish-themed party entail? Nature documentaries? Jell-O?
