      It's a Great Song, very nostalgic, and sets its own vibe, it always puts me in a zone, probably most well known song of theirs, imo ❤️ ✌️

    Interesting fact. Greg Kihn appeared in Weird Al Yankovic's parody of this song, "I Lost on Jeopardy". He is the only artist (that I know of) who ever appeared in a Weird Al video that parodied the song that same artist sang. Just goes to show what a fun guy gret is. As for the band, they really only had one standout hit apart from this, that being "The Breakup Song (They Don't Write 'Em)". "Lucky" was also a good one.

    Another song that came out around the same time as "Jeopardy" that has a big time fun and funky edge to it was "Goody Two Shoes" by Adam Ant. The song was a big hit on the Billboard charts in early 1983, the video was hilarious and he became a major heartthrob. Amber and Jay, if you liked "Jeopardy" (which is great) you would love "Goody Two Shoes". Adam Ant was part of the New Wave movement in the early 80's after MTV debuted (along with other artists like Duran Duran and Culture Club).

    Greg Kihn has been a Bay Area institution since the mid 1970s. After the heyday of the band, he was a local DJ for a long time and has written books as well. The big white church exterior we see at the beginning and end of the video is a gorgeous, old Catholic Church called Mission Dolores in San Francisco. This is where my parents were married.

    I'm one of the millions of 80s babies- 'Jeopardy' was a song that both of my parents were automatically into and I'm certain I got into it well before I could talk or even remember! lol. Its a fantastic song even though it truly is about the pitfall of the bad parts about marriage- I'm an amateur writer so I tend instead to visualize real good crime drama shows or movies to it instead. I even converted to Mormon for one of the reasons why I cannot stand the idea of ever getting divorced for a source of wisdom against pitfalls. Fantastic 80s masterwork. 😮‍💨👌

    This song sounds too fun for what the topic is, ha. Always thought the Greg Kihn Band had a unique sound that stood out in the early 80s. Loved this when it came out, still love it nearly 40 years later!

    I loved 1983. So many hits came out that year, infact I recalled there's three years in a row 1982, 1983 and 1984, that were like a musical boom. But 1983, is dear to my heart.

    Great song from a very underrated band. Their other guy was called “The Break Up Song” which is also great. In honor of the movie “Weird” coming out last week, you could react to Weird Al and his song “I Lost On Jeopardy”. Hilarious and Greg Kihn has a cameo in the video…

    Saw Greg perform this song at a Stones concert in Seattle in 1981 when he was one of the warm up acts along with the J. Geils Band! I think he's pretty much a two hit wonder but I enjoyed this song and your reaction! New artists, Amber? "Try" by Blue Rodeo and "Hello" by Walk Off The Earth featuring Myles and Isaac!

    I love this song and listen to it every day (along with "Oh, Sherry" by Steve Perry). This is an amazing groove. Good memories associated with these. To be honest, I didn't know it was Greg Kihn until fairly recently, but it came on the radio and I was transported back 40 years and found a new appreciation for it and Greg Kihn.

    San Francisco Bay Area band Greg Kihn Band were viewed as a kind of indie/new wave band in the 80's. This tune got heavy play on rotation on MTV back in the day; and as noted below, spawned a Weird Al parody that also got heavy airplay. One thing for certain, Greg never took himself that seriously that he could laugh at himself.

    Like a lot of people, I hadn't heard that in a while. I forgot how funky and musical it really is. I can't really remember a lot of songs from them but this is a great song. Forever immortalized by Weird Al, for better or for worse.
