Eight Gigs: Green Jelly

“Little pig, little pig, let me in. Not by the hair of my chinny chin chin.” Anyone that stared at MTV in the ’90s no doubt heard this ridiculous falsetto chorus (set to a metal riff) a million times, not to mention saw the silly Claymation video that accompanied it. This was the moment that low-brow absurdist metal band Green Jelly (formerly Green Jello) went mainstream. Anyone that dug deeper into their catalog quickly realized that everything they wrote was the same level of hilarious, campy metal, and their live shows were full of costumes, theatrics and dick jokes, like a goofy Gwar. 1400 Alhambra Boulevard, www.greenjellosuxx.com.
