Green Jelly

Green Jellÿ (pronounced "Green Jello") is a comedy rock band that originally formed in 1981 in Buffalo, New York. Known for their over-the-top theatrics, humorous lyrics, and claymation music videos, the group gained cult status in the early ’90s with their breakout 1993 hit "Three Little Pigs," which received heavy rotation on MTV. The band's mix of punk rock, metal, and absurdist comedy made them stand out in the alternative music scene, and their offbeat style has kept them a niche favorite for fans of novelty and experimental rock.

Originally started as a parody of punk and heavy metal bands, Green Jellÿ was founded by Bill Manspeaker, who has remained the driving force behind the group's evolving lineup. Their live performances often include costumes, puppets, and a chaotic, interactive atmosphere. With releases like Garbage Band Kids and Murder Train, they’ve continued to embrace their DIY spirit and absurd humor into the 2020s. Despite frequent changes in membership, Green Jellÿ has built a legacy in underground music as the "world's worst band"—a title they've proudly leaned into.
