Dive into one of the wildest origin stories in rock history with this hilarious, stranger-than-fiction deep dive! Before he was the enigmatic frontman of Tool, Maynard James Keenan found his first taste of stardom—not in heavy metal, but as a falsetto-squealing pig in the claymation-viral hit “Three Little Pigs” by Green Jellÿ (originally Green Jellö). This video uncovers how Maynard’s breakthrough came through chaos, comedy, and cringey puppet rock, and how the notorious “World’s Worst Band” transformed MTV and helped usher in the '90s alternative scene.

Get ready for a walk down memory lane in 1993, when MTV was king, weird ruled the airwaves, and a claymation fairy tale starring a Harley-riding Big Bad Wolf, Rambo, and three very irresponsible pigs became one of the most requested music videos. Meet Bill Manspeaker, mastermind behind Green Jellÿ, whose “third grade Broadway” philosophy built a band famous for intentionally bad musicianship, absurd props, and an open-door policy that grew a chaotic creative collective in a Hollywood loft—the legendary “Jello Loft.” Here, wild parties mixed with jam sessions, and future stars like Maynard and Tool’s drummer Danny Carey routinely crashed and played.

Watch as Green Jellÿ evolves from banned venue pariahs to high-energy crowd magnets. Explore Maynard’s offbeat side hustle selling lizards at LA pet stores, and how this communal lifestyle directly led to his quirky stint with Green Jellÿ. Discover how, despite Tool landing a record deal first, Green Jellÿ snagged $60,000 from Zoo Entertainment to produce “Cereal Killer,” the world’s first video-only album—a VHS packed with DIY claymation chaos.

Find out how “Three Little Pigs” became a cult classic, with Maynard’s legendary “Not by the hair of my chinny chin chin!” alongside Primus’s Les Claypool and comedian Pauly Shore. Radio stations in Seattle, Pennsylvania, and Tampa Bay helped launch the single, and MTV’s long-form video strategy turned “Three Little Pigs” into a phenomenon, peaking on the Billboard Hot 100, hitting #1 in New Zealand, and even charting Top 5 in the UK.

Relive the aftermath: trademark lawsuits from General Foods forced the band’s funky name change to Green Jellÿ, Metallica complained about riff similarities, and Green Jellÿ’s success led to a million-dollar Ooz Jelly studio in Hollywood creating music videos, comics, and pilots inspired by their eccentric style. See how Maynard’s time with the band influenced his later work, including Puscifer, as he blended absurd humor, theatricality, and rock artistry.

This video is packed with behind-the-scenes stories, music industry lore, and the kind of bizarre trivia that fans of Tool, ‘90s MTV, and outrageous rock tales will love. Whether you’re here for Maynard James Keenan’s journey, the anarchic rise of Green Jellÿ, or just some old-school claymation nostalgia, you’ll laugh and learn about how “The World’s Worst Band” launched one of prog metal’s most mysterious icons.
