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! -🪼
Plenty of old B-52’s
Rock Lobster!
Yes and something about the other old songs just seems beachy
Superfast Jellyfish by Gorillaz
Moog Cookbook do covers of alt rock songs on (surprise) moog synthesizers. Always felt they sound quite Jellyfishy.
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.
Yo, check out Swimming Tapes. I think that’s the vibe.
Ocean Man by Ween
Add piss up a rope and japanese cowboy too
May I raise you the Mollusk? (Title track) very bloopy.
I feel like a lot of Superorganism is jellyfish-y, but in a psychedelic way.
Nobody cares
Edit: I don’t think y’all understand
I’m shocked nobody mentioned the OG Jellyfish Jam yet.
Born Slippy
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.
Baaaaaaaby shark do do do do do
“Octopus’s Garden” by The Beatles seems apropos.
Along with “Yellow Submarine”.
Rock lobster by b52’s
Shpongle - How the Jellyfish Jumped Up the Mountain https://youtu.be/8oL6u9eujSU
