“Jeopardy” – Single by The Greg Kihn Band from the album Kihnspiracy.
B-side: “Fascination”
Released: January 1983.
It was the band’s only Top 10 hit on the Billboard Hot 100 singles chart, reaching number 2 in May 1983 (behind Michael Jackson’s “Beat It”).
It hit #1 on the Billboard Hot Club Dance Play chart in April, 1983 and crossed over to the Top 50 of Billboard’s Soul chart. The song also reached number 63 on the UK Singles Chart, becoming the band’s only charting song in the UK.
This was the biggest hit for Greg Kihn Band, and it was a slow build: The group released nine albums between 1978 and 1986, and didn’t have a hit until “The Breakup Song (They Don’t Write ‘Em),” which appeared on album number six. “Jeopardy” came on their eighth album.
As for Kihn, he went on to write several novels and became the morning DJ at K-Fox FM in San Jose, California. He continued to perform live at the Santa Cruz Beach Boardwalk in California well into the ’00s.
