Green Jelly

Green Jelly

Green Jellÿ formed in 1981 as Green Jellö, a four piece comedy-punk band, in Kenmore, New York. It was founded by Bill Manspeaker. He began the band with the idea of starting 'The World's Worst Band'. The name, which was suggested by a friend of the band, was chosen because lime-flavored Jell-O was allegedly the worst Jell-O flavour, and Manspeaker believed this also reflected the band's talents. The band began playing punk shows around Buffalo, New York, and were notorious for their onstage antics and live theatrics. Their rioutous metal version of 'Three Little Pigs' in 1993 became a surprise worldwide hit, reaching no.5 in the UK singles chart, no.6 in Australia and no.17 on the US Billboard Hot 100.
