"I Lost on Jeopardy" is a song by American musician "Weird Al" Yankovic from his second album, "Weird Al" Yankovic in 3-D, released in 1984. The song is a parody of "Jeopardy" by The Greg Kihn Band, released in 1983, and its refrain "Our love's in jeopardy". The parody's lyrics center on the game show Jeopardy!, and features a guest vocal from Don Pardo, who announced for Jeopardy! from 1964 to 1975. The music video uses a set inspired by the game show, and in addition to Pardo, features cameos from the show's host Art Fleming as well as Dr. Demento and Greg Kihn. The song was released just prior to the revival of Jeopardy! in 1984, though contrary to popular theory, the revival was already in the works and was not inspired by Yankovic's song. The song has appeared on several compilation albums, including "Weird Al" Yankovic's Greatest Hits (1988), Wacky Favorites (1993), and Permanent Record: Al in the Box (1994). The song charted at 83 on the Hot 100. Track listing 7" single "I Lost on Jeopardy" – 3:26 "I'll Be Mellow When I'm Dead" – 3:37 12" promo single "I Lost on Jeopardy" – 5:31 (Extended Mix). "Mr. Popeil" – 4:40 Music video Production The video was directed by Jay Levey, and produced by Robert K. Weiss, and filmed on May 24 and 25, 1984. The video loosely parodies the music video for "Jeopardy". The video takes place on a set loosely based on the 1964-75 version of the quiz show Jeopardy! and depicts a "behind-the-scenes" look at the show; in addition to Pardo appearing on-camera, the video features cameo appearances by original Jeopardy! host Art Fleming, Yankovic's mentor, Dr. Demento, members of Yankovic's band, his real-life parents and a brief cameo by Greg Kihn at the end. (Jeopardy! had last aired in 1979; it was being prepared for a modernized relaunch at the time the song was recorded and released, though Fleming had already declined to return as host.) Synopsis As the video begins, a nervous Yankovic finds himself pitted against a plumber and an architect, both of whom have Ph.D. diplomas that they show to him on stage. After host Art Fleming enters, he reveals the game board and its six categories: "T.V. Themes", "Nuclear Physics", "World Geography", "Food", "Potpourri", and "Famous Accordion Players", all of which contain a series of befuddling and nearly-impossible clues.
