Cereal Killer Soundtrack is a studio album released by comedy metal/punk group Green Jellÿ on March 16, 1993.[1] It is the soundtrack to their video album, Cereal Killer. It is the last album the band released under the name Green Jellö, as subsequent legal action over the trademark Jell-O led to the band being rebranded as Green Jellÿ, which would lead to later pressings of the album being reprinted with the new band name.
Cereal Killer Soundtrack was originally released under the band name of Green Jellö. However, as their fame grew with the release of the popular "Three Little Pigs", Kraft Foods Inc., owner of the Jell-O trademark, claimed that Green Jellÿ were in violation of the trademark, forcing a change of the band's name. As a result, an updated version of Cereal Killer Soundtrack was released bearing the Green Jellÿ name (also changing the name of the last track from "Green Jellö Theme Song" to "Green Jellÿ Theme Song") later in the same year.
Also on the re-release, the guitar riff on the song "Electric Harley House (of Love)" that borrows from Metallica's "Enter Sandman" was edited out.
The lyrics to the song "Obey the Cowgod" make a reference to Beefcake the Mighty, bass player for the band Gwar, who taught Green Jellÿ how to make their latex costumes.
