[soulfulcooking]

I remember this video being played alot on BET during the early eighties, yes I typed correcly...BET!!!! Times were alot different back then.

[kirinam2005]

i see that parasite from oasis has borrowed the best part of this song for inclusion in his new release. i hate that arrogant tosser

[RTT8001]

"You've got to change your evil ways.....baby." Same melody. Took it from Santana.

[Upfrontrocker]

Wow! I remember when this first came out..

[mithrandir1988]

Funny, how I don't remember this, original version, but I instantly recognized the melody and rhythm from Weird Al's version.

Love the 80s & 90s!

[astronautagogo]

Is there anyway you could down the volume down?

[pesadilla143]

I remember when MTV was about the music videos and ONLY music videos!

[cerbiattapazza]

....altro secolo... musica viva!

[Emgee78]

PBS sent me.

[Coldod23]

[JikkiTikki]

[RomanyOnline]

Come check out my interview with Greg Kihn.

[Wynner3]

I don't hear this song on the radio very much even though my favorite station has Greg Kihn as a DJ.

[superbulldog81]

Wow...I haven't heard this song, or seen this video, in over 16 years.

This song brings back memories of my brother's wedding in 1982.

When my brother saw this video for the first time, he said "That is

exactly what was going thru my mind"!!! LOL

[opusvfive]

The definition isn't sharp,either; good song and video, though.

[trumpetgod2010]

It's crazy. Now this guy is a dj on 92.3 in west tennessee near jackson. He's a damn good one too.

[RubyGaudy21]

Listening to this makes me feel 25 again if just for four minutes! I remember my boys were little and would hide around the corner watching it because they were afraid of the bride skeleton. Boy how music can take you back to a place in time! GREAT SONG!

[davemelnick]

@RubyGaudy21 Absolutely....I luv time travel. ;)

[RickyRiddy2]

i lost on jeopardy..

[DaveWollenberg]

Kept from #1 by MJ's 'Beat it'

[girlcambronero]

Me recuerda mi boda

[FireLightning16]

i'm 18 and i can't get enough of this song!  XD

[stcruz007]

if I was 18 (again), I'd be listening to alice cooper-"18"-but don't take it seriously. Gregs a local and can rock. HNY

[ratbatblue555]

kool song

[mryjn420090]

1:09 that was brittney spears the girl to the right

[badsaj1]

Britney was only 2 years old in 1983.

[cynmcb]

What? Britney Spears probably wasn't even born when this video was made!

[Derrick4Real]

@cynmcb technically...i think she was 2...just sayin

[EMT973]

Is that David Letterman that was the dad?

[roquey44]

Hey, I'm black and I remember this one from back in the day. IMO, one of the first great videos ever on TV.

[chargers2566]

that was back in the day they didn't seperate songs. they played them because they were good!

[pucksterz12]

Looks like a Chevy chase skit from an old SNL from back in the day. Good song.

[karmices]

great video, but sadly the volume is burried.

[kikadds]

Uhull!! =))

[metodex]

this is awesome but volume is really low :S

[ERIKEPAIOS]

80's!!!

[twominutepenalty]

萬歲 80's!!!

[JeffTheNebraskaDJ]

locaterobert, that is a very good question, Although the song went to number one. It was hardly played at all after it's chart run.

Probably because there were so many good songs in the 80's to choose from. I would agree with you, or what you are implying, in that it get's played all the time now. So people lose sight of the past.

The airplay it get's now would be the overated part. I wish they had played it as much then as they do now. Better late then never. The dj

[locaterobert]

I lost on jeopardy baby ooh. Our loves is in jeopardy baby ooh. I always thought he said I lost on jeopardy before Weird Al did it. Also why do people say this song is overated or underated?

[JeffTheNebraskaDJ]

This song is one of the most underrated songs of the 80's. I would put this song against any other 80's hit anytime.

Great song. Thanks for posting this one. The dj

[castratedrhino77]

Most excellent 80's video ever 5STARS!!!

[Coltmaster48]

Same church that was use in the Movie very bad things with CAmeron Diaz

[karaloyal]

also in Vertigo.

[HEMIdoctor]

[lizamakeup]

a classic!

[wkpolezi]

= )

[highwayman99C]

this dude is killer, man he's a dj now. he's too cool to be a d.j. . that is some killer music.

[schtoogy]

Doesn't this song song seem similar to Kanye West's love lockdown? little bit?

[kicix]

wohho that was great ! i didn't recall the scary part though. thanx for the upload :)

[ptortice]

He looks like David Duchovney

[unclerico54]

Fun vid!

[gogomiked]

I liked it at 2:01

[contabilidad03]

Great drums!!!!.

[GDK1]

This was in MTV's rotation back when they flat REFUSED to play videos by Black artists.

Hell, even Jimmy Hendrix couldn't get play on MTV back in '81-'82.

*smh*

[mw1126]

They played Michael Jackson and he was black back then... ;)

[GDK1]

No they didn't.

MTV was a BLATANTLY racist (still is) channel and only started playing "Black" videos because of the huge cross-over success of Michael Jackson on the record charts.

If they had had it their way, NO Black artist would have EVER been given air time.

It was to be WHITE ROCK only in their minds. MTV sucks even more today.

[GDK1]

BTW, MTV was on air a full 18 MONTHS before being FORCED to air Black artists.

If it weren't for CBS Records (I think) threatening to pull ALL their artists from MTV's rotation if they didn't also run their Black artists too, MTV would have never turned the corner.

[mw1126]

I stand corrected.

Whose videos would you suggest they had played then?

[GDK1]

All they had to do was dedicate an hour or so a day to R&B (even early Rap) but they couldn't bring their bigoted selves to even do that.

Prince, Michael, Rick James, Kool & The Gang, New Edition, Patrice Rushen, Stevie Wonder, Shalamar, Dazz Band, Evelyn "Champagne" King and others had hits that were popular (Pop by today's standards) among the white kids I went to junior high with and would've done fine on MTV at the time.

Racism prevented that from happening.

[Jim009911]

You are wrong. MTV played plenty of videos by black artists. What they did not play early on was RAP. That's what people started getting on them about, and they created "Yo MTV Raps" in response. But you go on believing what you want to believe. They played Top 40 hits. When black artists hit the Top 40, their videos got played. Rap was nowhere near the Top 40 until the 90s.

[Johnnywad89]

exactly thats what i wanted to say. You had your Lionel Richie, Cameo, Prince, Rick James. If they had a hit they were in. Rap didnt have hits until later.

[Jim009911]

Michael Jackson, Whitney Houston, New Edition...

[AzKkMcFaN]

Rap was hitting the top 40 in the late 80's, but really didn't start getting heavy rotation on the top 40 until the 90's

[statelybird3]

No,YOU'RE wrong----I started watching MTV around 1984, and the only black artists they played on a regular basis were Michael Jackson & Prince,period. I read in one of the first books on MTV that even the head of MTV at the time, Robert Pittman,claimed that white kids only wanted to watch rock 'n roll artists (which is funny considering that most of rock 'n roll's main innovators were black) and that black music wasn't rock 'n roll (yeah,right). MTV Raps only went on the air after he left MTV.

[hoganfader]

Odd, considering I have Jimi on VHS tape on MTV playing Purple Haze in black & white.

Those who watched MTV from the beginning know better. Also few artists did videos at the time. Even Metallica didn't have a video until 1988 or 89.

If you are so strident in your move for equality- demand they actually have white folks on now. Ever since Yo MTV Raps 21 yrs ago..... they have been pushed further and further out.

Unless..... you don't like equal protection of standards.

[GDK1]

Firstly, I was watching MTV when it FIRST aired. Not the actual moment but the first week it started. A white kid in my neighborhood actually wanted to sell me his bike because "...I don't need my bike, I've got MTV!" (he ACTUALLY said that).

So I'm not talking about the Metallica years. I'm talking about the first two years when it was exclusively WHITE/ROCK.

Sure, they MIGHT have done a Jimi here and there but rarely.

MTV sucks today in Black AND White content.

[hoganfader]

Because that was what was growing and gaining market at the time. 1981 was basically the start of the California Rock/metal scene. When that died out Grunge and rap took over.

It's what sold & was popular. Personally Music has no color -It's just this time it was visual.

[GDK1]

Convenient excuse but STILL wrong.

Like I said in a previous comment, there were plenty of Black artists who had music with "cross-over" appeal at that time (1981-1982) but MTV flat REFUSED to air them.

Today it's more economical decisions. Back then, it was PURELY about race/culture and it was unbelieveably blatant.

In typical fashion, bigoted minds didn't turn the corner until their money got messed with or they could make an extra dollar. *smh*

[necrolyptic]

VH1...

[bestamerica]

why NO closed captioned in here video,,,

put it on closed captioned in here video

[dudeman727]

this video kicks ass. this song kicks ass. i never realized how much ass this kicked when I was a kid seeing this for the first time

[smellyhonkey]

This is one the first videos I remember seeing on MTV

[exclusivelyscott]

I wished I had seen this BEFORE my wedding!

[fluxuspee]

Remorse?

[KurdtKobain09]

why?

lol

[de3forever]

Amen brother.

[victimofcheese]

This might be the greatest video of all time.

[Boogers4dinner]

Music is not made like this anymore. What a shame. We've got spoiled to some real good music. LOL Our expectations are so high of this generation.

[tactile101]

This is a strong song...

[richfranklin45]

whats the chorus on this song? is it i lost on jeopardy

[tankydhg]

"I was in Jeapardy" I think. "I lost on Jeapardy" is a Wierd Al song

[hubbabubba133]

Our love's in jeopardy

[tankydhg]

that makes sense! haha

[Romperjet]

haha, cute ending. very '80s. :)

[Codiathy]

this is the worst song in the world

[Varvara10]

its not the best but its overall ok

[carntspell]

My friend, let me introduce you to a little number known as "Cotton Eyed Joe" by Rednex which must surely challenge for this title. You`d rather cut your ears off with a cheese grater.

[Varvara10]

we studied and danced this song in gym thank god we have a culinary store next to our school

[heavymetalrockstar]

Greg brakes off a piece of wood off and plays it like a guitar. LOL

[elcad]

Best hair in a music video of all time.

[marinenmj]

esta cancion me trae bueno recuerdos

[sikhness2]

haha i was 5yrs old...

[dawnrexgurl]

OMG I was 14 then in the good old 80s !!!!! awesome times MtV days!!!!!!

[SirHawkeyeWho]

lool weird al's spoof got more views.

[Annabellafirst]

Pour le rythme, pour la guitare, pour mes pieds qui tapent le sol à chaque fois ...

For the rythme, for the guitar, for my feet that fight the floor every time ...

Annabella de France.

[momkat]

Back in the day he played in a dive in our city...lol...he was great. Love this song. This is when MTV had the "great" videos.

[fjislander]

Kihn currently is the morning DJ at San Jose, California classic rock radio station KUFX-FM (promotional name 98.5 K-Fox).

[ratbatblue555]

it´s later than you think

[jache77]

love this song!

[gmnotyet]

This was an *awesome* song back when I was in high school in the early 80's.

[mikkigogirl]

Same for me, wow does this bring back memories!!

[djmrparker]

Was? It still is!

[MobiusStudios]

It's like he's everywhere...but seriously, I heard him this morning. He might be satellite feeded across the country or something.

[Mitsy1212]

I guess I spoke too soon.  It's a syndicated show on our local radio station. It sounds like it's local though and his photo is on the web site like he's a regular DJ. My mistake. :0

[Mitsy1212]

Greg Kihn is now a DJ on the "X" (KRXL) in my hometown of Kirksville, MO. Either we are extremely lucky to get this guy or his luck has really gone into "jeopardy" to come to a town of less than 20,000.

[MobiusStudios]

He's a morning host on the radio in San Jose, CA, since I've been listening him to a long time here. I'm not sure about him being a host in MO, since that's REALLY far from California...

[shawnac]

I've heard him on the radio while driving through Owensboro, KY

[starvingworksxx]

loves it

[Vendetta1Bungle]

I lost on jeopardy

ha ha ha

Weird al yankovic

[rongravy]

Check out the 12" video I made for this song, even spookier, and in great quality. This song is wayyyy cool.

[starvingworksxx]

[nasa72]

Great tune! Heard this on TripleM tonight

[meatpan]

this song gave me the creeps as a kid

[Markioskt]

Oh my gosh... iwas so looking for this song... i've found it....i'm gonna cry...

[MysticalChicken]

Heh, I heard this song on the radio this morning for the first time (I actually rarely listen to the radio, I just decided to on a whim). I don't care if it's 25 years old, this is my new favorite song.

[Giselduh]

that is soooooo coool!!!!!!

[jepdogg99]

my mom and dad name me jeopardy no bullshit and they told me they got it from this song. i think this so fucked up

[jonno6590]

[mottoblotto]

dude.....you're posting rude comments to a stranger on the internet......the mental institution said that you need to be in before the street lights come on......you're posting rude comments over the words to a song.....maybe some day you'll get out of those pampers.

[drail80s]

80s rock is hard to beat.

Stuff now dont compare that much

[houdinide]

Greg Kihn is a radio dj in san jose, california now. Every summer he puts on a concert with about five other bands called Kihncert on the green. Last year's bill rocked.

[treebella23]

Yes, I remember this song. Still love it. Thanks for posting this.

[Kelski1998]

After hearing about Greg Kihns likeness for horror novels or writing them this video actually fits. Great to remember how MTV WAS!!! again

[sunrecords72]

I bought the 7" record in the April 1983.....one of the best video and song of the 80's!! N°1 in the Italy 45 hit parade in May 1983!! Ciao dall'Italia.;-))

[zaenkmus]

The Greg Kihn band was an amazing and completely underrated phenomenon. Something that will never be duplicated...

[tucsonia]

Greg Kihn was all around radio '81-'82 then dropped completely out of sight.

[drail80s]

These bands and others were mainstays on MTV back in the 80s.

Thats why 80s rock is hard to beat mostly.

[joebanks72]

I can't believe I have this on a 45. It's a good song, but now I feel old. Ha-ha. I don't know if anyone else remembers, but I recall seeing this on NBC's Friday Night Videos in 1982/83.

[michellec0791]

Yes I loved Friday Night Videos. I have the 45 too. I used to take it to dances at our campground, among other 45s.

[SidJustice1]

Same here, dude, you stole my thunder! lol I saw this on FNV, as well!

[hulkwolf1971]

25 years and still good.

[BLKPRLZ]

My Older Brothers and I remember Friday Night Videos.... (and this song)Our parents would play cards in the kitchen with the neighbors and the rest of us kids were in the den, my brothers were the babysitters :) I also remember MTV 24 hours commercial free!!!!

Great Memories.

[Zorn76]

Greg is now a morning DJ in San Jose, Ca. on 98.7 FM. on KUFX

[mcdonchris]

God has it been 25 years...lol I can remember first seeing this as a freshman in H.S way back then....that's when MTV actually showed videos....Thanks for the post.

[xBoBoDhobo543x]

5 stars :)

[tuttlemsm]

Where's Don Pardo?

[hubbabubba133]

Lol. Try Weird Al.

[nerby13]

I love this stuff. I'm so happy that there are still people who like this kind of music that don't listen to the music of today. All it is is a bunch of people with their pants falling down blubbering about raping and beating women and it just disgusts me. Thank goodness common sense is still alive!

[calcaylor]

Thanks for posting!

[jarretrichardson]

what happen 2 the other video

[hubbabubba133]

It got removed for a copyright violation

[nerby13]

lol...whats up with the random claw that shoots out of the ground?

[druboogie]

this video used to creep me out.

[BoBoDhobo543]

5 stars...top of the list...but the sound is a bit iffy
