The Greg Kihn Band "Jeopardy"

I was so excited when I saw my mom's cassette tape Chartbusters 1983. The compilation album contained the song "Jeopardy" which I assumed to be the theme song to the game show. Why I was so excited to have a television theme song is still a mystery to me today. Instead, I was treated to The Greg Kihn Band's "Jeopardy" -- a Top 5 hit in 1983. The song inspired Weird Al Yankovich to released "I Lost on Jeopardy!" a year later. Like all of America, I'm rooting for Trebek as he battles pancreatic cancer. Not only did I grow up watching "Jeopardy!", but also "Classic Concentration".
