Cereal Killer Anarchy In Bedrock Green Jello

Cereal Killer Album: Cereal Killer Soundtrack (1993)
Anarchy In Bedrock Album: Triple Live Möther Gööse at Budokan (1989)
by Green Jello/Jelly

Cereal Killer was originally released on video in 1992, as were all of the songs on this album.
The video for this song showed several mascots of various cereals being viciously murdered. The cereal companies got so upset that when the songs were released in a music-only format, the band had to put out an edited version.

Their name was originally Green Jello, named as such because of their dislike for that particular flavor and because they thought it accurately described their musical sound.

They had to change it to Green Jelly after a demand by General Foods, owner of the Jello trademark and many of the Cereal Products mentioned in "Cereal Killers".

Triple Live Möther Gööse at Budokan was recorded and mixed at s.p.l studio van nuys.
This record credits the band as Green Jellö on the cover, not Jellÿ.
Also available on green with white splatter and black vinyl.

The album was recorded in a garage in about the same amount of time it takes to play it. A rare video was also released for this album with music videos for each song. It featured a much more defined sound, as well as far better production and songwriting.

Thanks to hard rock band Gwar, Green Jelly began using elaborate homemade props and costumes in their live shows.

They once appeared on The Gong Show, claiming to be the world's worst band.

After releasing an "album" on video, with music videos accompanying each of the songs, they billed themselves as the world's first "video-only" rock band.

Manspeaker goes by the names Marshall "Duh" Staxx and Moronic Dicktator.
Former vocalist Gary Helsinger is now the Director A&R, West Coast, for Universal. He was also Tour Manager for A Perfect Circle.

The band has had anywhere from 75-115 members since its inception.
They hail from Kenmore, New Jersey.

Tool vocalist Maynard James Keenan and Tool drummer Danny Carey were both members of Green Jelly. That's where they met, before they broke off to form Tool.

"Cereal Killer"

Green Jelly
Follow your nose
It always knows
The flavor of death
Where ever it goes

Terror in the supermarket, shoppers are in horror
Shredded boxes in the aisles, corpses on the floor
Those who ran, this joy is mine
Now they're gonna to pay
Sugar-coated slaughter
Now the order of the day!
Toucan, Son of Sam!

Silly rabbit, Trix are for kids

Follow your nose
It always knows
The flavor of death
Where ever it goes

Orphaned at the age of five
Parental guidance missed
Rice Krispies wouldn't talk to him
And he got really pissed
The remittal chemicals
Have driven him insane
Now we know the calling
Like it's ringing 'round his brain
Toucan, Son of Sam!

Snap! Crackle! Pop!

Toucan Son of Sam!

Part of your nutritious breakfast!

Don't know what I want
But know how to get it.
Want to destroy Mr. Slate

Cause I wanna be Fred Flintstone

Anarchy in Bedrock
Stop it sometime it makes Betty and Wilma
Try some flint upside down rubble bubble
Or you can just try Fruity Pebbles

Cause I wanna be Fred Flintstone
In bedrock its the only way to be

Many ways to get what you want
