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! -🪼
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.
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
Moog Cookbook do covers of alt rock songs on (surprise) moog synthesizers. Always felt they sound quite Jellyfishy.
Ocean Man by Ween
Add piss up a rope and japanese cowboy too
I’m shocked nobody mentioned the OG Jellyfish Jam yet.
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 SeaDire 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

Is there anything so specific the Internet wont provide?
Plenty of old B-52’s
Rock Lobster!
Yes and something about the other old songs just seems beachy
Superfast Jellyfish - Gorillaz
Instantly thought of Melancholy Hill when I read the title. Gorillaz definitely have some jellyfish music
Rewind by Hotel Eden
Windowsill by McBaise
Both albums have some great tracks that fit that vibe.
If you’re feeling extra spicy maybe sprinkle in some .Temp by Graham Kartna
Yo, check out Swimming Tapes. I think that’s the vibe.
