'"Grateful When You're Dead"' is a song by the English rock band Kula Shaker, taken from their first album 'K'.
The song's title is a reference to the American rock band Grateful Dead. The song is in two parts: the GWYD part, which is a standard rock song, and the JWT part, which is more drifting with dark and ethnic sounds.
The single was released on 22 April 1996, both as a 7" and a CD, and reached number 35 on the UK singles chart.[https://www.officialcharts.com/search/singles/Wannabe "Grateful When You're Dead / Jerry Was There"] at OfficialCharts.com
