Greg Kihn was one of the great Power Pop heroes of the 1980s, playing punchy and melodic rock & roll with enough edge for new wave fans and tuneful enough to appeal to mainstream listeners, scoring major hit singles with “The Breakup Song (They Don’t Write ‘Em)” in 1981, and “Jeopardy” in 1983. Coming out of the Northern California rock & roll scene that formed around Beserkley Records. He founded and led the Greg Kihn Band and he wrote several popular horror novels. He is best known for the hits “The Breakup Song (They Don’t Write ‘Em)” in 1981 and “Jeopardy” in 1983, which reached No. 2 on the Billboard Hot 100 from the Kihnspiracy album and the video became an MTV favorite. “Jeopardy” was spoofed by “Weird Al” Yankovic as “I Lost on Jeopardy”
