BAD IS THE NEW GOOD: Jan Terri

How the hell did this happen-

"The heart is open like an open book and yuuuuuurrrrs is clowsed..."

In what a befuddled youtuber can only describe as "a blend of Mrs. Piggy, Jabba The Hut and William Hung" we have Jan Terri; the limousine-driving, Danny Devito-looking, 6 year old-sounding swamp donkey from Mars.


You know those late 80's anti-drug videos they made you watch in driver's ed? Did you love their music so much that you wished someone out there could make two albums worth of it and then sing monotone on top? Then boy are you gonna love this.

Known for such memorable hits as "Journey to Mars" and "Get Down Goblin," Terri made her mark in very select circles in the early 90's. Many of her tracks, it seems, were simply too far ahead of their time. Can you believe she didn't even use auto-tune?

Despite receiving an in-depth feature on the Daily Show in 2000 and opening for Marilyn Manson on one tour date, her meme potential has largely flown under the radar (How did Tosh miss this?). Who exactly is this natural (or unnatural) disaster—Omazing Grace's reincarnation? Rebecca Black's grandma? Terri remains as mysterious as ever, but one thing is certain; you'll definitely want to hang this on your wall.
