One of the greatest rock bands ever. It's a tragedy Jellyfish is not more well known. This song in particular will always have a special place in my heart.
Two absolutely perfect albums from this band that have absolutely stood the test of time. For those who haven't already, you must listen to their debut 'Bellybutton' from which this track comes and the possibly even better follow up 'Spilt Milk'. Stone cold (massively underrated) classics.
Bought Bellybutton immediately back in the 90s after hearing this song. 30 years later I'm still trying to turn friends on to this amazing band. Spilt Milk is a masterpiece of genius songwriting, musicianship, and production
This was my very first CD, purchased in 1990 with my first (and only) component stereo system. I wish they had stayed together for longer than two albums. :(
@@GetUpTheMountains Three of the guys - Roger, Eric and Tim - have a project called The Lickerish Quartet. Very reminiscent of Jellyfish. Check their web page. I believe they offer autographs for a small fee. Unfortunately, I doubt you’ll get an autograph from Andy, even if you find him. He is very private-practically a ghost. He still does some TV soundtrack work. Chris Manning does audio work for movies. Not sure if Chris does autographs.
@@joannahuett3626 I saw Jason Falkner play last night with St. Vincent at the Forum in Los Angeles. He was amazing and looked great and was having a blast. He came out into the audience after their opening act and hung with some friends to watch Roxy Music.
I always thought these guys had a '70's Saturday Morning Cartoon vibe to them - kinda playful yet with wonderful harmonies. Jellyfish is one of a kind!
It's crazy I'm 44 years old and listen to a ton of different music. It's always a pleasant surprise to hear a band that's been around for a long time but was never on my radar. Underated for sure 🙂
Best live band I've ever seen. They melted the entire room and everyone had to pick up their jaw from the floor. A truly remarkable experience seeing Jellyfish perform live, it was.
When we kids in the early 90s we used to refer to ourselves as “Jellyheads”, the impact this band has had on my life is unimaginable! Thank you for those 2 incredible albums!!!
Fall 1990. Im a DJ on my college radio and this album is placed in our hands. No one wants to check it out. I play this song on my show. Instant hit with listeners. Fun song I made sure got played at many college parties. This really brings me back.
I think of Jellyfish as what the Beatles might have sounded like had they kept recording - an ambrosia of influences frosted with leads who could WRITE and SING and PLAY and were studio savvy! I fell head over heels the first heard them, and had the good fortune to hear them live three times before they flamed out. NEVER heard a band who could SING live as gorgeously as in a multi-tracked, eq'd and compressed soundscape. I miss them to this day...
Absolutely took the words right out of my mouth except not so much the beatles comparison..but I get what you're saying. I think and feel that Beach Boys and other American acts of the 70's might have compared well more so jmo.
@@denisdonn because John Lennon said that, but in reality they'd have sounded like whatever music John Lennon or Paul McCartney made at the time. So in 1991 whatever Paul McCartney was making
This song from the first note to the last is a masterpiece....just superb song writing. LOVE Jellyfish. Singer/drummer is ridiculously talented. As far as musicianship goes they were in a league all their own.
I have heard so much about the Jellyfish but never got into listening to them. So far, my favorite song by Jellyfish is The King Is Half Undressed, I really like the vocals of Andy Sturmer, who is also a really good drummer. Maybe I should buy a few of their albums.
Great pop song. I Remember watching the video on MTV at like 4am in 1990 and being blown away. The bridge in this song kills!!! So Beach Boys meets Yes. It was completely different then the crap that was being played at the time and it came out was right before the Grunge movement birthed Nirvana.
Living through grunge,witnessing the unstoppable seismic culture and music transformation was surreal,words can't explain it. Music society & cultural norms flipped upside down and nothing was the ever the same in a matter of 4 weeks. Kat Beijlland said Kurt Cobain felt guilty for being the first to proverbially kick the door down.
I remember seeing this video for the first time one morning while getting ready for school. Went out and bought Bellybutton that day, was hooked and never looked back. Those guys were brilliant!
gbvxtc what I'll never forget is seeing that bellybutton cover on the cd shelves at Tower Records and going wtf! ..is that? Very unique and different with Andy owning that stand up set to boot..what a band!
The fact that this video hasn't even broken 200k views confirms that A) the masses are indeed asses B) we are all doomed. Why this band didn't rule the world is beyond me to this day. Both albums are true gems.
I bought this album several decades ago at a used record shop for ninety-nine cents. It was totally on impulse but oh, wow, what a pleasant surprise this music was to my ears!! It’s so tuneful and I thought his vocal melodies were so fantastic! It may sound strange but as a vocalist he reminds me quite a lot of George Michael at times. Anyways- I still love the entire album and will bust it out every now and again when I have that certain itch only Jellyfish can scratch!
Truly one of the greatest power pop bands ever. They wore their influences proudly and took them to new places. And for those that think they couldn't pull it off live, check out the box set. Or any of the live vids on YT. These guys are/were magnificent! And please, where the fuck is Andy!? Come back, all is forgiven!
I saw these guys in concert on the tour for BellyButton and they nailed every song sounded awesome even better live and the singer played drums standing up. Mind blowing totally fn Amazing!!
They were just victims of bad timing. They were a band with a 60s mentality that came along about 5 years before the 60s became cool again. They were really good. The fact that they have all been successful in other endeavors proves it. I would love to see them do one last tour, and maybe put another album out, just so they could go out on their own terms.
This single is NOT just one of the best American Pop/Rock Singles of the 1990's, it's also one of the very best American Pop/Rock music videos of the 1990's as well.
Incredibly written and produced record . Separation of instruments and frequencies are spot on. The tunes jump right out of the speakers !!! The songs are great .
First time I hear about this band today. I was reading an article about Danish band Dizzy Mizz Lizzy (Huge in little Denmark). The article stated that the band members had played a "Babys comming back" cover in their young years. Listening to the songs of Jellyfish now, I have to suggest to fans of this band to look up Tim Christensen -solo/damn crystals or my own farvorite Dizzy mizz lizzy (melodic rock) Enjoy
They were an amazing band. It's a would've been,could've been,short lived,tragic yet special group. Jellyfish were staggeringly creative & it bombed. Their songs vids 30 + yrs later now have this slightly mystical feel. Their existence was brief powerful unique out of the blue talented then vanished quietly never to return. Mysterious forces are painful indescribable yet powerful.
@@jesterr7133Andy keeps away from the public eye these days. Roger and Jason both play in Beck’s band. Tim, Eric and Roger also had a project called Lickerish Quartet that broke up a while back that was also pretty good
I can't decide if I hate the world for not getting this, or be glad they don't muddy up the place .. I'm so glad I was alive when Jellyfish was here on planet earth .. life is worth living, if only just to hear them play
This album and their Spilt Milk album are two of my favorite albums of all time! I remember watching the movie Career Opportunities back in 1991 and the song, "I Wanna Stay Home" was in the movie. I immediately bought the CD and after hearing the whole album for the first time, I felt like I was struck by the hand of God with musical enlightenment. Then, when I couldn't think an album could get any better...Spilt Milk was released. Awestruck!
Yeah! So cool finding someone with many of the same musical tastes! You got me on a power pop tangent today, I'm checking out the vids on your page & I'm loving it! Hey are you familiar with Matthew Sweet? He's another of my faves...have a hunch you might dig him too....
Just Jeanne Oh yeah! I like his stuff. Early 1990's power pop. I love the song "Girlfriend." Haha! I've been on a power pop tangent for the past week now.. Especially with big Star and Shoes... I like finding old great power pop songs I've never heard before.
Just Jeanne oh, and if you get a chance, listen to Owsley. His1999 debut album is really good power pop. His most well known song is probably, "Oh no, the radio." Unfortunately, he's not with us anymore... :(
I'm thinking of using this song as an example for my long research paper on music theory, from what I can tell it starts in F mixolydian then modulates to Bb minor and again to Bb major, which is basically the original key (there's also something in there with D as the root, but I can't figure it out rn lol). I really like this song
Bought this back in the autumn of 1990. Took me a few listens to get used to it since it was so different from anything else back then. This album (and band) essentially changed my taste in music, forever.
As a bass player, i think they got the dynamics of the drums just about right, especially considering the heavyness of the songs these guys played. What really surprized me was that Andy Sturmer plays standing up, and that his kit is so sparse! I LOVE THAT! It's why I love a lot of rockabilly drummers. They do so much with only a few thngs to beat upon!
Best band that's ever come out in the last 40 years. I wish they would do a ahow here in Vegas. I look for Roger every year at NAMM, but still have never met him. An absolute genius
We were just coming home on a Virgin Atlantic flight and bless Richard Branson,he had this album in the music selection with some lovely comments. It brought back a time when things were somehow simpler. Jellyfish were truly creative, classy fellows. I hope they ended up have a blessed and happy life. I hope they surprise us and put something new out .
A cusp of early nineties, I was right on top of the cassette, as soon as it was released. I saw this video on MTV, and became hooked. Coming back to this is weird, and exciting. Thanks for your music. x
I miss 1991. Hair metal and long hair was still in fashion and the alt-gloom of grunge hadn't arrived yet. Any guy could have long hair and feel like a rock star
I am friends with one of the Writers Producers of Jellyfish Bobby Zoppi. I fell in love with Bellybutton when it released in 90' And it is still enjoyable to listen too after 20+ years. Incandescently Zoppi is a vocal coach in Sacramento. You can find his website by his name dot com.
great band…great song….at the time it came out I was in a weird place….this song (and the LP) take me back to the "good" part of that weird place….."good" weird!
+JesseJohnWilsonMusic they came out the same time as grunge music... no one wanted happy poppy music at that time so they only sold 30k copies of both records. after that they just split up. the keyboardist plays for Beck now and the singer Andy writes for 2 Japanese pop stars.
This song is AbsoFkinLutely one of ny faves! Definitely influenced my writing of underlying harmonies and syllable harnonies, rather than full word harmonies. I picked this CD up right after discovering Faith No More. Another Epic album with rich vocals and harmonies. I have to pick up Jellyfish #2 album...for sure! My band N2 is planning a revival of this tune. Cant wait ro see how we incorporate the harmonies and guitar lines while making it a grip heavier...like N2 does! ✌️❤️
I suggest finding the "Box Set". It has the demos form both albums and most of the live recordings from the tours. Stunning performances. Vocals are amazing. Truly one of the greatest pop bands, ever.
You sound just like me. I've always figured them for the most underrated band ever. And I find it horribly depressing that its possible to make music this amazing and still go largely unnoticed. I was lucky enough to see them once when I was a kid, and to have songs like that and THEN play drums and sing while standing up? Good lord. I hate to admit it, but I think a lot of people just passed on the hippy image and missed the music.
I have always loved Jellyfish, and I totally love Roger Joseph Manning, Jr. on his own. This man IS a true unheralded music genius along with Emmitt Rhodes, Gene Clark, and Nick Drake.
awesome... i had this on tape way back in the early 90's... just ordered it on CD this evening... mostly, i'm a metalhead, but i've been on a retro-kick lately... can't wait to reacquaint with an old fave!
They called it quits 20 years ago. In fact, I found out they broke up on the day Kurt Cobain died. I was much more depressed at the loss of Jellyfish than the dude from Nirvana.
Jellyfish. A solid contender for the most underrated band of all time.
"Without a doubt! ( :
Easily the winner.
Definitely. A singing drummer.
Even better , a standing up singing drummer !!!!!
Would love to see a full reunion. Love this band.
One of the greatest rock bands ever. It's a tragedy Jellyfish is not more well known. This song in particular will always have a special place in my heart.
the fact that nobody knows who they are should make them oh so much better
Exactly. Reminds me of the very same thing that happened with Badfinger. Both were seriously underrated, all-time great power pop bands.
Two absolutely perfect albums from this band that have absolutely stood the test of time. For those who haven't already, you must listen to their debut 'Bellybutton' from which this track comes and the possibly even better follow up 'Spilt Milk'. Stone cold (massively underrated) classics.
300,000 hits on this video. WE'RE GETTING THERE, JELLYFISH FANS! Tell everyone about this band!
Bought Bellybutton immediately back in the 90s after hearing this song. 30 years later I'm still trying to turn friends on to this amazing band. Spilt Milk is a masterpiece of genius songwriting, musicianship, and production
Bought this CD in 1990. Still have it, and still play it quite often. IMO, Jellyfish is the epitome of underrated bands.
me too

Listen to SPARKS
Jellyfish will always remain my favourite band of all time. Two absolutely flawless and timeless albums. I even have the band logo as a tattoo! 🤩
Where are you people?! I would love to have friends who enjoy and appreciate great 90s music like this.
Best live band I've ever seen. They melted the entire room and everyone had to pick up their jaw from the floor. A truly remarkable experience seeing Jellyfish perform live, it was.
I’m so jealous 😭
When we kids in the early 90s we used to refer to ourselves as “Jellyheads”, the impact this band has had on my life is unimaginable! Thank you for those 2 incredible albums!!!
"If words could speak, they'd mean even less ..." Love Jellyfish! Saw them three times in the early '90s.
Retro Dreams. ba ba ba baaaahh!!
"Sunshine kisses" sung in that trippy fading tone. We haven't heard phrasing and melodies like this in decades.

ELO were considered band the Beatles might have been in the 70's. I can definitely see Jellyfish being the next evolution
Great song but the Beatles, nah.
@@denisdonn because John Lennon said that, but in reality they'd have sounded like whatever music John Lennon or Paul McCartney made at the time. So in 1991 whatever Paul McCartney was making
Oh, how I miss this band terribly. This album brings back a lot of happy memories.
acrovader That's ok cause thank god we got Roger continuing the sound!
They got it all right. Great songs meticulously recorded, superb musicians, beautiful harmonies. I wish I'd had the chance to see them live.
This song from the first note to the last is a masterpiece....just superb song writing. LOVE Jellyfish. Singer/drummer is ridiculously talented. As far as musicianship goes they were in a league all their own.
Over 30 years later and this song is still a masterpiece. Thank you Jellyfish!!
To all Jellyheads, I urge you to give The Lemon Twigs a listen. Two insanely talented brothers who write and record in the same spirit as Jelllyfish.
I have heard so much about the Jellyfish but never got into listening to them. So far, my favorite song by Jellyfish is The King Is Half Undressed, I really like the vocals of Andy Sturmer, who is also a really good drummer. Maybe I should buy a few of their albums.
the harmony between this guys voice and the instruments is outta this world
Saw these guys in 1991 at the duchess in Leeds....fantastic!!! ...this album is timeless ❤

spot on assessment "Beach Boys meets Yes". They also remind me of Cheap Trick.
Sadly, this sound was overshadowed by all that grunge shite.
Living through grunge,witnessing the unstoppable seismic culture and music transformation was surreal,words can't explain it. Music society & cultural norms flipped upside down and nothing was the ever the same in a matter of 4 weeks.

Robdust almost there
Good news
Hadn't seen this video in probably 24 years, I had put them in the back of my mind, but listening/watching Jellyfish again brings back good memories.
I bought this album several decades ago at a used record shop for ninety-nine cents. It was totally on impulse but oh, wow, what a pleasant surprise this music was to my ears!!

Ill never forget their encore - just when you think it could not get any better they came on and did No Matter What by Badfinger

And then Covid struck
@@rainbowroadthekilljoy8 Yeah I think I posted that just a couple months before the shit hit the fan.

Probably the best band in the world.
agree
Man... I'm goin' thru a Jellyfish phase right now. Haven't thought of them in 15+ years... SO Diggin it still tho! Holds up really well.
Both this song and video are both way ahead of their time. Doesn't even sound like it came out in 1990 to me.
I can't decide if I hate the world for not getting this, or be glad they don't muddy up the place .. I'm so glad I was alive when Jellyfish was here on planet earth .. life is worth living, if only just to hear them play
Come back to us Jellyfish!!!
I loved this band, had this album & played the hell out of it. That Is Why & Baby's Coming Back sound as great today as they ever did!

What an amazing short lived band.
I'm thinking of using this song as an example for my long research paper on music theory, from what I can tell it starts in F mixolydian then modulates to Bb minor and again to Bb major, which is basically the original key (there's also something in there with D as the root, but I can't figure it out rn lol). I really like this song
Love it too. Very nice you’re doing a music theory research paper with the possibility of using this song.
The soundtrack on the early 90s. Listened to them every day for years and years.
If the two main song writers hadn’t fallen out they could of been massive.
Bought this back in the autumn of 1990. Took me a few listens to get used to it since it was so different from anything else back then. This album (and band) essentially changed my taste in music, forever.
Love the king is half undressed great song this was the only song I knew of jellyfish in the UK it blew me away how cute was the dog in the video
Some of the greatest lyrics and sound...ban was way ahead of its time...never got the chance to see them live,feel like i missed something great.
As a bass player, i think they got the dynamics of the drums just about right, especially considering the heavyness of the songs these guys played.
What really surprized me was that Andy Sturmer plays standing up, and that his kit is so sparse! I LOVE THAT! It's why I love a lot of rockabilly drummers. They do so much with only a few thngs to beat upon!
Best band that's ever come out in the last 40 years. I wish they would do a ahow here in Vegas. I look for Roger every year at NAMM, but still have never met him. An absolute genius

I have to say, these guys were so amazing live- blew our minds and put Pearl Jam and Soundgarden to shame.
I like them too but come on bro
We were just coming home on a Virgin Atlantic flight and bless Richard Branson,he had this album in the music selection with some lovely comments. It brought back a time when things were somehow simpler.
Jellyfish were truly creative, classy fellows. I hope they ended up have a blessed and happy life. I hope they surprise us and put something new out .
Woah! I'm not exactly sure what I just witnessed, but it was crazy unique & unspeakably cool. GROOVY comes to mind.
Damn, I forgot about these guys. This is a great tune!!
A cusp of early nineties, I was right on top of the cassette, as soon as it was released. I saw this video on MTV, and became hooked. Coming back to this is weird, and exciting. Thanks for your music. x
Props person: "How many tambourines would you like for this video?"
Jellyfish: "Yes"
They grew up near where I did!!! Saw them in concert back in the day!!! Will never forget!
discovered this band today, realy good!
Love Love Love this band!!!!!
One of the best songs of all time. As simple as this.
I miss 1991. Hair metal and long hair was still in fashion and the alt-gloom of grunge hadn't arrived yet. Any guy could have long hair and feel like a rock star

Sound amazing and look stunning, will always love this band.
A brilliant song and definitely one of the best songs of the 90s.
This song has been going through my mind tonight and I had to find it. What a classic tune! Reminds me of Squeeze and Queen.
love the king is half undressed great track should have been huge
probably would have done better if not for their outfits.
I am always looking for new music. Be that newly made or just new to me. This is a band I missed 20 years ago. Glad to find them now.
great band…great song….at the time it came out I was in a weird place….this song (and the LP) take me back to the "good" part of that weird place….."good" weird!
Sweet song! I only just discovered it and I think it's going to be stuck in my head all day :P
Jellyfish songs are so catchy. I heard this a few times about 5 years ago. Came back and it’s like talking with an old friend.
My question is why the hell these guys didn't get the credit they deserve??
+JesseJohnWilsonMusic they came out the same time as grunge music... no one wanted happy poppy music at that time so they only sold 30k copies of both records. after that they just split up. the keyboardist plays for Beck now and the singer Andy writes for 2 Japanese pop stars.
that's right, andy sturmer writed for puffy AmiYumi...
+kris wegrzyn I bought this album in like 8th grade. I don't think their devotion to the hippy look really helped in the time of nirvana either.
Most great bands don't 😕
Look at the world we live in. Look at the masses. There is your answer.
This song is AbsoFkinLutely one of ny faves! Definitely influenced my writing of underlying harmonies and syllable harnonies, rather than full word harmonies. I picked this CD up right after discovering Faith No More. Another Epic album with rich vocals and harmonies.
I have to pick up Jellyfish #2 album...for sure!
My band N2 is planning a revival of this tune. Cant wait ro see how we incorporate the harmonies and guitar lines while making it a grip heavier...like N2 does!
✌️❤️
One of the best bands ever... Hands down. I worked in radio at the time, played the hell out of all of their releases.
This video set an unbroken record for highest tambourine budget.
Haven’t heard this in so long. I was on Facebook talking about some singing drummers and of course this got posted. Gonna dive right back in
Stuck between hair metal and grunge there was hope for more diversity in the 90's but they couldn't keep the peace.
I suggest finding the "Box Set". It has the demos form both albums and most of the live recordings from the tours. Stunning performances. Vocals are amazing. Truly one of the greatest pop bands, ever.
Still have their cds great band!
I'll never understand the record buying public.
They deserved to be huge.
I am marveled and humbled each time I listen to this, but also suddenly empowered! I must get that hat!
I got a 45 of this song when I was vinyl shopping in London. I just listened to this now and oh boy is it amazing.
You sound just like me. I've always figured them for the most underrated band ever. And I find it horribly depressing that its possible to make music this amazing and still go largely unnoticed. I was lucky enough to see them once when I was a kid, and to have songs like that and THEN play drums and sing while standing up? Good lord. I hate to admit it, but I think a lot of people just passed on the hippy image and missed the music.
Sadly, I fear, there will never be another band like Jellyfish.
I have always loved Jellyfish, and I totally love Roger Joseph Manning, Jr. on his own. This man IS a true unheralded music genius along with Emmitt Rhodes, Gene Clark, and Nick Drake.
0:51 dude is acting like it’s his only calling in life to say “Buh bah bah bahhh” for this song.
awesome... i had this on tape way back in the early 90's... just ordered it on CD this evening... mostly, i'm a metalhead, but i've been on a retro-kick lately... can't wait to reacquaint with an old fave!
Who fucking LOVES this song?!? And, who’s here in Dec of 2017???
Fuck better yet July 13, 2019
Great band. Super underrated.
They called it quits 20 years ago. In fact, I found out they broke up on the day Kurt Cobain died. I was much more depressed at the loss of Jellyfish than the dude from Nirvana.
acrovader lol we could be friends
ME TOO!!!
Heh. "Nirvana'. What a dark cloud on the otherwise sunny musical horizon'.
I remember that as well ..wow
Class album ❤️❤️❤️
This song is classic. Brilliantly made and a great combination of upbeat and sadness.
So much talent in one band! So sad they broke up and went on different paths. Jellyfish's 2nd album was wonderful, but the first was just incredible.
LOVE IT!!!
I remember seeing them live in Portland with my best friend. So awesome 🥰
Thank you Jellyfish for shaping my life as a teen. Cheerio from Hollandia / Satelite state of the USA.
This song/video was surprisingly played a lot on MuchMusic in 1990, Canada's version of MTV
This band helped me get through adolescence.
This band helped me get through my entire life :)
