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".

Jennifer Warnes "Right Time of the Night"

Game shows such as The Newlywed Game coined the term "making whoopie" to describe intimate relations between two people. For soap operas and music, the term "making love" found its way into dialog and lyrics (like those in Jennifer Warnes' hit ballad "Right Time of the Night").
