"Una band senza talento può facilmente divertire gli idioti con uno stupido spettacolo di burattini".
Così si presentano i Green Jelly nel loro album d'esordio, e non c'è altra frase che li possa rappresentare nel miglior modo possibile.
Gente priva di talento che ha attraversato gli anni novanta portandosi dietro un carrozzone di personaggi esagerati di cartapesta, numerosi falli giganti e tanto rumore fatto di heavy metal, trash e alternative rock.
Talmente esagerati e cafoni da risultare alla fine simpatici come e forse più dei loro epigoni Gwar, e capaci di piazzare anche un singolo di successo con un video in stop-motion dissacrante come "Three Little Pigs", all'epoca in forte rotazione anche dalle nostre parti.
Capaci di citare, coverizzare e fin anche plagiare Sex Pistols, Metallica, Motorhead, Ministry e Danzig (a volte all'interno di una stessa traccia), piazzano qui i colpi migliori nel già citato singolo, come nella "gasante" "Electric Harley House (Of Love)" (con intero assolo di "Enter Sandman" incorporato) e nella spiazzante "Trippin' On XTC", sorta di esperimento funky-rap acido (ciò che i Red Hot Chili Peppers si vergognerebbero di pubblicare) con stacco oscuro e stentoreo dove sembra sentire il buon vecchio zio Danzig dire "si Gesù Cristo...si è carino".
E se tutto questo teatrino non bastasse a qualcuno di voi potete sempre rifugiarvi nel nono brano, "House Me Teenage Rave", e godervi una fellatio/orgia/tortura sadomaso che sinceramente conduce a una parte dell'album facilmente dimenticabile.

Eat my burger, for it is my flesh
And drink my milk, for it is my blood

04 Three Little Pigs (05:53)
(Spoken)
Why don't you, sit right back,
and I, I may tell you, a tale.
A tale of three, little pigs,
and a BIG, BAD, WOLFFF.
Well the first little piggy, well he was kinda hick.
He spent most of his days, just a dreamin of the city.
And then one day, he bought a guitar.
He moved to Hollywood, to become a star.
But, living on the farm, he knew nothing of the city.
Built his house out of straw, what a pity.
And then one day, jammin on some chords,
along came the wolf, knocking on his door.
(Chorus)
Little Pig, Little Pig, let me in.
NOT BY THE HAIR OF MY CHINNY, CHIN, CHIN!!
Little Pig, Little Pig, let me in.
NOT BY THE HAIR OF MY CHINNY, CHIN, CHIN!!
Well I'm huffin, I'm puffin, I'll blow your house in.
Huffin, puffin, blow your house in.
Huffin, puffin, blow your house in.
Huffin and a puffin and I'll blow your house in!!!
Well the second little piggy, well he was kinda stoked.
He spent most of his day just in ganja smokin.
Huffin and a puffin down on Venice Beach.
Getting paid money for religious speech.
He built his shelter from what he garbage picked.
Mostly made up of old cans and sticks.
Then one day he was cranking out Bob Marley,
and along came the Wolf on his big bad Harley.
(Chorus)
Well the third little piggy, the grade A student.
His daddy was a rock star, named Pig Nugent.
Earned his Masters Degree, from Harvard College.
Built his house from his architect knowledge.
A tri-level mansion, Hollywood Hills.
Daddy's rock stardom, paid for the bills.
And then one day came the old house smasher
the BIG BAD WOLF THE LITTLE PIGGY SLASHER.
(Chorus)
Well the big bad Wolf,
well he huffed, and he puffed, all that he could.
And low and behold the little piggy's house stood.
"IT'S MADE OUT OF CONCRETE!" the little piggy shouted.
The wolf just frowned, as he pouted.
So they called nine-eleven, like any piggy would.
The sent out RAMBO, just as fast, as they could.
(Rambo)
"YO, WOLF-FACE, I'M YOUR WORST NIGHTMARE, YOUR ASS IS MINE!!!"
Well the wolf fell dead as you can plainly see.
So thats to end the story, for you and me.
If you still give a listen, you just may, here a big wolf or little piggy say.
(Chorus)
"And the moral of the story is, ' A band with no talent can easily amuse
idiots, with a stupid, puppet show."

09 Trippin' On XTC (03:42)
Hello, little children, come stand over here,
I'm gonna shake it with the hot groove a-right in my ear,
Yeah, you're boppin' down Melrose in Daddy's new car,
I'm gonna hit you in the nose, and hit you real hard,
So I jumped on the bandwagon, big butt toe wagon,
Racka-sacka rose but jammin' in your butt,
Wait for Ted bass, fuckin' up your face,
And the rock out, threw the pub out, gonna wip my multiple sack out,
We are trippin' on XTC, hedgin' in our defect sexuality,
Don't you wanna bang us? Wanna be like me? We are trippin' on XTC,
Now, livin' in, livin' in, livin' in now (halluconagal genius)
Are you boys on drugs??
Yeah, Jesus Christ, yeah, he is nice, yeah, Jesus Christ, yeah, he is nice,
Huh! Sly, let's do it, let's do it (??????????)
I'm never coming down.
Now I lay me down to sleep, I pray the Lord my soul to keep,
If I die before I wake, I pray the Lord my soul to take.
10 Misadventures Of Shitman (03:07)
What is that smell???
Walking through the plant today, scooping up what gets away,
It's poo poo, poo poo,
Something's smelling pretty ripe, coming from that sewer pipe,
It's poo poo, poo poo,
You know, everybody knows who can smell it with their nose,
It's poo poo, poo poo,
I've got poo poo on my shoe, I've got poo poo on my shoe,
It's poo poo, poo poo,
But first, you gotta...
You gotta, you gotta, got to, got to, got to, got to, got to, got to, got to,
SHITMAN!
Lemme, lemme, lemme, lemme, lemme, lemme, lemme,
SHITMAN!
Don't gimme, don't gimme, don't gimme, don't gimme, don't gimme no,
