Жасыл Желли: Америкалық комедиялық рок тобының тарихы

American comedy rock band

Green Jellÿ (/ɡ//r//iː//n// /'/dʒ//ɛ//l//oʊ/, green Jell O) is an American comedy rock band formed in 1981. Originally named Green Jellö, the band changed its name due to legal pressure from Kraft Foods Inc., the owners of the Jell O brand, who claimed that it was an infringement of their trademark. Known for sophomoric humor, theatrical performances, and intentionally crude musicianship, Green Jellÿ has had hundreds of members during its existence, with vocalist Bill Manspeaker the only consistent member throughout. Notable past members include Danny Carey and Maynard James Keenan, who were both in Green Jellÿ during the early 1990s and went on to form Tool. To date, the band has released five studio albums: Triple Live Möther Gööse at Budokan (1989), Cereal Killer Soundtrack (1993), 333 (1994), Musick to Insult Your Intelligence By (2009), and Garbage Band Kids (2021). They are best known for their 1992 hit "Three Little Pigs", which was adapted from the fairy tale.

Bill Manspeaker formed Green Jellö, a four piece comedy punk band, in 1981. As most of the band's members were poor musicians at the time, they billed themselves as "The World's Worst Band".

In 1984, Green Jellö released Let It Be, an eight song EP, on their own label, American Jello Parti Productions, Inc. The cover artwork (designed by Manspeaker) was a parody of The Beatles' Let It Be album cover. Recorded in Manspeaker's bedroom and at a local band rehearsal hall, the album featured the "Green Jellö Theme Song" as well as early songs such as "I've Got Poo Poo on My Shoe" (later called "Shitman"), "Whip Me Teenage Babe" (later renamed "House Me Teenage Rave"), "Hill, Hill", "Do the Howie", the one second "Icrog", "The Ice Cream Song", and "I'll Buy You Any Major Appliance You Want Baby, Ooo Ooo".

In 1989, Green Jellö released their second album, Triple Live Möther Gööse at Budokan, on February 29 Records, which was recorded in a garage with producer Sylvia Massy.

In 1991, Green Jellö approached BMG subsidiary label Zoo Entertainment with a video only album concept. In the fall of 1992, they delivered their third album, Cereal Killer, again produced by Massy. The album is a long form video consisting of music videos for each song, as well as a behind the scenes feature. Zoo eventually issued the EP Green Jellö SUXX, consisting of four songs from Cereal Killer, including "Three Little Pigs". The band then issued the full length studio album Cereal Killer Soundtrack in March 1993. This was their first release under the revised name Green Jellÿ. The video for "Three Little Pigs" was directed by Fred Stuhr (who also directed Tool's "Sober" video), and it featured a claymation rendition of the classic fairy tale with modern twists, such as pot smoking pigs, an appearance by Rambo, and a Harley Davidson riding wolf. The video was No. 17 for most of the summer of 1993 in the US and received both an MTV music award and Billboard music award nomination. The song entered the UK Singles Chart at a peak position of No. 5. Cereal Killer Soundtrack attained gold status in the US, New Zealand, and Canada, as well as platinum in Australia. In 1993, they released the single "Electric Harley House (of Love)", with the video featuring Gene Simmons and Paul Stanley from KISS. Later the same year, the band released a single that was never included on any of their full length albums: a collaboration with Hulk Hogan, performing Gary Glitter's "I'm the Leader of the Gang (I Am)", which became a Top 40 hit in the UK. Also in 1994, Green Jellÿ wrote and produced the soundtrack for the Acclaim Entertainment video game Spider Man & Venom: Maximum Carnage. The soundtrack is a computerized rendition of original songs.

On February 19, 2008, music news website Blabbermouth. net announced that Green Jellÿ was reuniting and that a possible US tour was in the works. The band also re released the Cereal Killer and 333 video albums on a self produced DVD with Originology Records, which were only sold at concerts. In 2018, The Official Soundtrack of the Documentary Green Jellÿ Suxx Live was released via Enjoy the Ride Records. In 2017, Green Jellÿ released a new music video and single, "Fr3tö F33t". In 2019, they released another single, titled "Silence of the Sponge", a macabre parody of the theme to SpongeBob SquarePants. Green Jellÿ's fifth studio album, titled Garbage Band Kids, was released on June 11, 2021, on Cleopatra Records.
