Jeopardy - Greg Kihn Band

Greg Kihn and Steve Wright formed the Greg Kihn Band in 1979. Together with Robbie Dunbar, Larry Lynch and Gary Phillips they enjoyed their biggest success in 1983 with the single 'Jeopardy'.

The single reached number 2 in the US Billboard Hot 100 chart, number 63 in the UK singles chart and number 15 in the Netherlands. They never had a hit outside of America before or after this one single. 'Weird Al' Yankovic made a parody of this song, entitled 'I lost on Jeopardy'.
