"Jeopardy" by The Greg Kihn Band

Don't jeopardize missing The Greg Kihn Band's biggest hit, "Jeopardy"! This 1983 dance-rock and power pop classic dominated charts with its infectious synth riff and driving new wave beat. Famous for its memorable zombie wedding music video, it remains an unforgettable 80s anthem.

Featured on The Greg Kihn Band's 1983 album Kihnspiracy, "Jeopardy" fully embraced the synth-pop and dance-rock trends of the era, becoming their most successful single. The track is defined by its prominent, pulsing synthesizer hook and danceable rhythm section, marking a clear move into polished new wave territory while retaining a power pop sensibility through Greg Kihn's vocals.

Released as a single around February 01, 1983, "Jeopardy" climbed to number 2 on the Billboard Hot 100, propelled significantly by its iconic music video's heavy rotation on MTV. The video's humorous horror-movie wedding theme perfectly complemented the song's theme of pre-nuptial anxiety. This power pop/dance-rock smash remains a defining hit of 1983.

SONG MEANING: "Jeopardy" expresses the intense anxiety, doubt, and feeling of being trapped experienced by someone just before getting married ("Our love's in jeopardy, baby"). The lyrics convey a severe case of cold feet, questioning the decision and fearing that proceeding with the wedding puts their future happiness, and the relationship itself, in serious danger or "jeopardy."
