  • 80's baby... 

  • What a great video.

  • I KNOW YOU WANT ME BABE

  • Greg Kihn looks sooooo young in this. Too funny. He's the music director at KFOX, in San Francisco now, and has quite a bit of grey.

  • This song - Jeopardy - By The Greg Kihn Band peaked # 2 on the Billboard Hot 100 Chart on 05-07-1983

  • they must've played this goofy video a MILLION times on the early days of mtv

  • This is pretty awesome for a music video made in the 1980s.

  • Hit #1 on the Billboard dance chart for 2 weeks in April 1983

  • Reminds me of Tina. And thats a good thing!

  • ça a bercé toute mon enfance ... Magnifique

  • Never drop acid on your wedding.

  • Thats true

  • I really liked this song, then I heard Weird Al's parody of it....

    The parody version is the only one that stays in my head...DAMN YOU WEIRD AL!

  • awesome video..

  • 80's music etc has&always be in my heart......ty 4 posting....

  • I used to listen to this song on 93.1 Doug FM back in the day before my privilages to drive my parents' cars got suspended. I was so eager to do something with my drivers' license. And in the heydey of hard economic times, I was so skeptical that any job was even hiring; and I couldn't even afford car insurance, of which was part of the reason why I took advantage of my parents' generosity. But what the hell, I don't drive anymore since tailpipe emissions deplete valuable resources immorally.

  • @SamuraiClinton continued...

    It isn't worth spending on gas when other expenses take you by surprise later on. On top of that, excessive spending implies that your money isn't even as good as ones who save. Of which is why Greg Kihn was saying "I lost on Jeopardy", though it was Weird Al interpreted the mondegreen more officially.

  • Growing up in the Bay Area in the early 80's was the shit.....god love GK.

  • LMAO! I so love this...a big horror about ..well..that horrid m word is .... just wait until the inlaws or as i so affectionetly refer to them as evil criminally insane spawns of satan reveal their true selves! aint pretty!

  • 3:05 Jill in The Resident Evil 3 xD!

  • Ha! he has the same car as me

    

  • I'll take One Hit Wonders for $1,000, Alex.

  • looks like a young Beau Bridges....lol.

  • This song was Number 2 for three weeks during the Spring of 1983...the song to keep it from No. 1?...oh, a little song called "Billie Jean" by Michael Jackson.

  • 80s vids are the best!! He fought a giant worm with plywood from a pew and the rocked a solo on the plywood!! That is just crazy good.

    Since it is probably a pretty knowledgeable 80s crowd watching this video maybe someone can helo me with a song that has been bothering me for years. It was somewhere from 1983-85 and all I can remember is there was phone ringing and when a woman answered it she was speaking spanish.

    \

    Cheers!

  • @CdnTrader1 Uhmmm...I love music mysteries...anything else you can remember? 

  • @joy7353 I cannot even remember if there were lyrics. It may have just been pure bubble gum poppy music with a ringing phone and a woman speaking spanish.

  • Couldn't WAIT for this song to come on Mtv

  • ...and I listen to him talk on the radio. Good times.

  • who is this loser?

  • the time of MTV! now it is shit as hell!! lml

  • @bruno10fla504 it's all dumb ass "reality" shows and dumbed down bull shit now. nothing about music AT ALL! they really nned a name change. S-TV would work...

  • I guess they picked up Weird Al afterwards. Greg was probably like, "Get the hell out of my car!"

  • Now THAT's fear of commitment!

  • I used to think the chorus was "I love you Jeopardy" when I was a kid, how could have I forgotten that?

  • Is it just me or is the video version much longer than the album version?

  • the beat is incredible

  • DEAD SPACE- THE VIDEo game -ISAAC

  • I love, love , love this song from the 80's! God how it takes me back to running the streets with my friends with our boombox blasting this song along with all the totally awesome songs from back then. What a time that was for all of us who lived it! It was a time that you just cant explain unless you were there but damn, it was a time that lives in my heart forever. I skated like nobody's business to this song every weekend. So many fun times and memories. The best! I miss it all so much! :-(

  • @thecarebearhideaway.. I remember all that so well :( dang, how things have changed in such a short amount of time.. I heard this on the radio this morning after taking my son to school... I was jammin! lol

  • @countrygal7833 I know! It changed in the blink of an eye. It seems I closed my eyes for just a second and it was gone. I have all the 80's songs ( well most of them) on my Ipod and the awesome 80's music is always playing in my house or car, I must play it while cooking dinner or it just doesnt get done! hahaha :-D So I know what you mean about jammin! Awesome! :-D

  • @thecarebearhideaway thats cool,cause everyone wants to read you kid story and all

  • Reminds me of a time when music didn't suck balls, like now......

  • Is it just me or does he look like David Duchovny?  Mmmmmmm, Fox Mulder!!

  • OMG! Greg is so freakin' hot!!!

  • I love this song...but the video has always creeped me out.

  • Greg Kihn fans! Hear his radio interview (songs, too!) Sat 10/1, noon(ET) on Dave's Gone By (uncradio. c0m). If you miss it, check the audio archives at davesgoneby. c0m.

  • I knew David Letterman was old, but old enough to be Greg Kihn's dad?

  • and they got off on each other forever, and it was GOOD

  • I saw the Greg Kihn Band on October 15,1981 at the Kingdome in Seattle,Washington. They were one of the two opening acts for the Rolling Stones that day. The other opening act was the J.Geils Band.

  • I'll take why the 80's kicked ass for a thousand Alex.

  • if they don't like the song they must be tired of hearing his ass on the radio.

    than again in the bay area he's a dj.

  • this song SLAMS SO HARD it's ridiculous, the drums and bass are just relentless! Play this one as loud as possible.

  • Love this song, right on 80s.

  • One of my fave MTV songs! This was 80's "pop"...not quite "rock" and not "new wave", but it had a killer video and we loved it! This was when MTV meant MUSIC TELEVISION! Greatest musical days ever!!!!

  • One of my fave MTV songs!

  • IT'S THE BASS PLAYER, MAN HE'S ON FIRE!!!!

  • I saw this video on VH1 classic last night, I had to watch it again. I haven't heard this in a long time.

  • Cookerkaren is dead on. I would come home stoned, about 2-3am, turn on MTV and watch it til I fell asleep. Wake up and Alan Hunter, Nina Blackwood, or another VJ would greet me when I woke up and I would just watch until I felt like becoming a part of productive society..miss those days!!!

  • GREAT EARLY 80S TUNE BRINGS BACK ALOT OF MEMORIES...THANK YOU

  • These were the days you could turn on mtv & leave it on.............all day,all night. ;)

  • Was this the same video producer as "Total Eclipse of the Heart"? (Spooky...)

  • That's how I remember the 80's

  • This is classic 80s before it got all stupid

  • What a cool video. This freaked me out as a 5 year old kid.

  • finally found this gem after watching the great movie take me home tonight

  • I was 20 in 1983 and I thought Disco started becoming popular in about 1974, peaked in 1979 and then started to decline in popularity. By 1983, Disco was pretty much out of the music scene. Did I miss something?

  • that drum beat on here is classic, with the bass line, just love good music, we need more of that these days

  • I Lost On Jeopardy.

  • I remember seeing this video a lot on MTV in 1983, really like the creepy part at 1:58 ... it's too bad that the Weird Al Parody cover has more views then the original song. later in 1983 when Thriller music video came out the Jeopardy song was not played any more.

  • You just cant find classics like this anymore!!

  • Greg and the band hit #2 in Billboard, 5-7-83. God bless ya, for postin' it. Thanx! Have a great week!

  • I JUST LOOOOOOOVE THIS SONG!

  • bei ricordi con questa canzone the best

  • JEOPARDY !!! =)

  • the days before reality bull shit....all videos

  • @dynelol Music has already been through Final Jeopardy!

  • WTF at the guitar solo

  • Ummm, bocaitalian, the beginning of disco was a decade earlier. In 1983, Disco was dead... Killed by Punk and New Wave... Jus' sayin;

  • @jfrank94608 Disco was not entirely dead in 1983. It morphed slightly into Funk and R&B here in America, while in Europe the genre of Italo Disco is still alive even today.

    Some people went to mosh pits and headbanging concerts in the early to mid 80s, but many more still went to dance clubs, even if calling them "Discos" was no longer in fashion. Still much the same music but with a different label.

  • @jfrank94608 it's still a good song. it's better than the shit produced today like justin bieber.

  • Great dance music,good memories.I`m glad I grew up through the evolution of Rock.The music is Cool,and more so when you can relate it to part of your growing up memories. 

  • He does look like Chevy Chase.
