The Greg Kihn Band - Jeopardy (1983)




The Greg Kihn Band lands the biggest hit of their career with Jeopardy, a song about a relationship on the brink.  The video is one of the earliest I remember seeing on the channel formerly known as MTV.  And being a mere 5 years old, I remember it scaring the crap out of me.  Part zombie movie, part PSA for marriage abstinence, Greg Kihn plays a groom to be having a few last minute doubts as his wedding turns into a nightmare and he's forced to fight off a monster and dodge a congregation of zombies. The song was parodied by Weird Al Yankovic a year after its release.

Jeopardy was filmed in San Francisco, CA
