She Don't Use Jelly is a song by The Flaming Lips and is arguably their most well known song to date. The song became popular after being featured on the MTV show Beavis and Butt-head, nearly a year after the album's release. It is still their highest charting single to date, even entering the Top 10 Modern Rock Singles. She Don't Use Jelly is a fan favorite and is still played at shows, with frontman Wayne Coyne often encouraging the audience to sing along.
From the band's website - "With it's chiming pedal steel chorus breaks and seemingly nonsensical lyrics, the song entered into the realms of novelty hit. It's a happy little ditty about strange people and their individual idiosyncrasies, with pretty melodies laced throughout and punctuated by trademark moments of crunching but still harmonious noise."[1]
