The Breakup Song and Jeopardy should be essential songs.

May Greg Kihn RIP. :'(

My all-time favorites by his band are "The Breakup Song (They Don't Write 'Em)" #15 AT40 1981 & "Jeopardy" #2 AT40 1983! 8-)

He also had a cameo at the end of "Weird Al" Yankovic's "I Lost on Jeopardy" music video in 1984.

Of all the bands not in the rock and roll Hall of Fame Greg Kihn is a omission that should be protested . The music was always highest quality and he had a loyal following. Some of the crap that's in the hall of Fame is disgusting..

Let's put it this way… "I Lost on Jeopardy!" has a better chance at being performed for the Rock Hall than The Greg Kihn Band's. All full up on two hit wonders !
