I’m hosting a jellyfish themed party and want to set the vibes. If you were a jellyfish, what songs would be on your fave playlist? Give me your bloopiest tunes! -🪼
Dire Dire Docks from Mario 64. If not the original, then this jazz cover by The Consouls - https://youtu.be/5Mhk9zxb1mw
I’d be flubbalin and wubbalin in the waves all day to this track.
Hasard - Ariane Moffat
Less seriously, the Mollusk - Ween.
Watch outfor its wandering eye…
Born Slippy
I just got recommended this funnily enough
“Octopus’s Garden” by The Beatles seems apropos.
Along with “Yellow Submarine”.
Rock lobster by b52’s
Ocean Man by Ween
May I raise you the Mollusk? (Title track) very bloopy.
Add piss up a rope and japanese cowboy too
Moog Cookbook do covers of alt rock songs on (surprise) moog synthesizers. Always felt they sound quite Jellyfishy.
The life aquatic studio sessions - Seu Jorges covering Bowie in Portuguese.
How about the music from the Splatoon games? They’re squids and octopi, but they sound suitably fishy.
I’m shocked nobody mentioned the OG Jellyfish Jam yet.
What does a jellyfish-themed party entail? Nature documentaries? Jell-O?
Jellyfish tattoos, actually! 😂
Dick Dale era surf guitar (someone else mentioned this as well, adding the best artist name). Dick Dale also did a cover of Claude Debussy’s “The Aquarium” which is the sound track for Space Mountain at Disneyland/World. So either or both, and there might be other covers of “The Aquarium” out there if the original isn’t too slow.
Going more ocean-themed…
Aquabats or Tsunami Bomb for some early 2000s punk/ska that isn’t ocean-themed but the bands are kinda.
Tide is High - Blondie
Scuba Diver - King Kong (it’s a weird song, but hypnotic)
Where is My Mind - Pixies (about fish, but close enough)
Beyond the Sea by Bobby Darin
Maybe more sailing themed, but that’s close, right?
Brandy by Looking Glass
My Heart Will Go On - there’s a Dragonforce metal cover of this if you’ve been traumatized by the pennywhistle.
Come Sail Away - Styx
Sail away sounds nautical but it’s about an alien abduction. Jelly fish are pretty alien though so I reckon it counts.
Sounds fun! 😁
A few suggestions:
B52s - Rock Lobster
Smoke City - Underwater Love
PJ Harvey - We Float
The Beatles - I’m Looking Through You
Sebastian (Little Mermaid) - Under the SeaAnything by dolphins into the future
