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.

Moog Cookbook do covers of alt rock songs on (surprise) moog synthesizers. Always felt they sound quite Jellyfishy.

Yes and something about the other old songs just seems beachy

  • Crumb - Locket
  • Other songs by Crumb
  • Delta Sleep - Spy Dolphin
  • Chon - Bubble Dream
  • 3nd - into the water ~ water
  • Elephant Gym - Finger

Instantly thought of Melancholy Hill when I read the title. Gorillaz definitely have some jellyfish music

So help me God if you don't put the jellyfish ham song from SpongeBob on there. There will be hell to pay.

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

What does a jellyfish-themed party entail? Nature documentaries? Jell-O?
