how come there isn't more toy dolls love here? are the toy dolls secretly uncool?

― Philip Nunez, Monday, 19 May 2014 18:53 (twelve years ago)

The band also had 7 vocalists, including Bill Manspeaker (Moronic Dictator, Shitman, Marshall "Duh" Staxxx), Joe Cannizzaro (Dunderhead), Keith Matherne (Keni Logginz), Gary Helsinger (Hotsy Menshot, Piñata Head), Greg Reynard (Reason Clean, Toucan Son of Sam) and Maynard James Keenan (Billy Bob).

Apparently Maynard does the pigs voices

is it safe to assume that The Toy Dolls - Nellie The Elephant wasn't a hit in the USA or Canada?
The Green Jelly song was #5 here. I do often wondered who bought it though.

i think toy dolls got some resurgence due to being on tony hawk game soundtracks, same as buzzcocks.

― Philip Nunez, Monday, 19 May 2014 20:20 (twelve years ago)

The Toy Dolls, for geographical reasons.

― Toni Braxton-Hicks (Turrican), Monday, 19 May 2014 20:35 (twelve years ago)

Turrican's dad was the drummer

― ۩, Monday, 19 May 2014 20:40 (twelve years ago)

Actually, their longest serving drummer runs a second-hand vinyl store in Sunderland. Nice bloke.

― Toni Braxton-Hicks (Turrican), Monday, 19 May 2014 20:43 (twelve years ago)

Turrican used to be the drummer in Gay Dad

― ۩, Monday, 19 May 2014 20:45 (twelve years ago)

If you say so.

did you buy the green jelly song as a young lad?

― ۩, Monday, 19 May 2014 20:56 (twelve years ago)

olga gives out free video lessons how to play toy dolls songs.

― Philip Nunez, Monday, 19 May 2014 21:11 (twelve years ago)

Nellie the Elephant got play on the modern rock station I listened to as a teenager and that song gave me great joy

― sarahell, Monday, 19 May 2014 21:15 (twelve years ago)

It was a lot of fun when I was 11. It was very popular at my school

― ۩, Monday, 19 May 2014 22:09 (twelve years ago)

was green jelly a hit in the us?

― ۩, Tuesday, 20 May 2014 00:20 (twelve years ago)

it was a bigger hit than nelly the elephant because nelly the elephant never made it onto beavis and butthead. also they were big enough to attract the attention of jello's legal dept.

― Philip Nunez, Tuesday, 20 May 2014 00:23 (twelve years ago)

i don't remember, I'm sure it got some airplay, I think it was one of those annoying bro songs that I conveniently forgot

― sarahell, Tuesday, 20 May 2014 00:23 (twelve years ago)

nelly the elephant was pre-beavis and butthead

― sarahell, Tuesday, 20 May 2014 00:23 (twelve years ago)

"Three Little Pigs" got surprisingly high on the US charts, went all the way to #17 on the Hot 100 (voted for it btw)

― Frontier Psychiatrist, Tuesday, 20 May 2014 00:26 (twelve years ago)

beavis and butthead would play stuff like spock's beard and tony basil but had no time for classic toy dolls.

― Philip Nunez, Tuesday, 20 May 2014 00:29 (twelve years ago)

both songs were top 5 hits in the uk.

― ۩, Tuesday, 20 May 2014 00:30 (twelve years ago)

― sarahell, Tuesday, 20 May 2014 00:30 (twelve years ago)

It's all about 'Firey Jack' and their cover of 'Blue Suede Shoes' for me.

― Toni Braxton-Hicks (Turrican), Wednesday, 28 May 2014 21:10 (twelve years ago)

Florence is deaf (But there's no need to shout)

― Mark G, Thursday, 29 May 2014 07:06 (twelve years ago)

Their version of Tocata and Fugue was a bit unnecessary though.
