where did you get this information? i heard that his little girl wrote a poem at school about jmk and he put it to music. just bc he had a problem early in life with substance abuse, that does not mean that his whole life revolves around it. i hope your version is incorrect.

COOL

@ZarathustraJohnson4 I heard it was a poem his little girl wrote at school that he set music to.
-
@ZarathustraJohnson4 according to songfacts, it was inspired by and based on a poem written by his daughter sally taylor
-
@ZarathustraJohnson4 "Tea" is also slang for grass. And Taylor is known for his exploits in illegal substances.

My dad used to sing me this song! Love it!
-
@ZarathustraJohnson4 ....I don't believe thats true, I always read that his daughter wrote a poem when she was young and he turned it into the song!

I have to disagree with some of these comments - the studio version is good, but James puts inflections in his voice on the Sesame version that are GREAT! So what if the kids are a little loud?

I love the animation for this. I love this song too. Did you know that the true meaning behind the song is that "Jelly" is really "crack cocaine" and Jenny Mulhenny's father is a pusher who puts out the "fire" of Old Man Kelly's need for the drug? Originally, Taylor had wanted to call the song "Crack Man Jack" but Sesame Street sensors wouldn't allow it. And that's how we got "Jelly Man Kelly." True story.
