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.

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," the owner of the Jell-O trademark claimed that Green Jellÿ were violating their trademark, and forced a change of name.[3] Because of this, 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.

Critical reception

Trouser Press wrote that the band "displays a remarkable knack for blowing opportunities for incisive, lasting humor and true burlesque, resorting instead to references to breakfast food, cartoons and pooh-pooh jokes."[1]
