Heavy Metal Sunday feels a little foolish.

Tuesday is April 1st, and I was thinking about doing some sort April Fool's prank, like writing a set up for a dramatic extreme Death Metal video, then playing Barry Manilow or something.

But I hate Barry Manilow.

So instead of a prank, let's get really odd. Green Jellÿ (formerly known as Green Jellö) has probably the oddest history of any band in history. Really. 204 official former members. And their one big commercial success, 1992's Cereal Killer, got them sued by Kraft Foods, the Kellogg Company, and Metallica.

Most people know them for their insane version of Three Little Pigs, but I prefer this track. Ladies and Gentlemen, we are entering the Electric Harley House of Love.



Did you spot all the celebrity cameos?

GWAR can go die in shame, since they can never compare to the awesomeness of The Worst Band On Earth.

What about Pat Boone's heavy metal album?
