Greg Kihn Band: Jeopardy

I had only watched this video twice before when seeing it again just now for this review: when I was a teen during the '80s watching it on TBS' late night music video show "Night Tracks" and several weeks ago on YouTube after Greg Kihn died. It starts normally enough with Greg waiting for his bride to arrive to the church wedding with their guests in the pews before things take increasingly bizarre turns as the ceremony takes place including the priest putting a finger in one hand going back and forth through a circle made by a finger and thumb in the other! Then the guests all look...oh, if you haven't seen it, I suggest you go to YT and watch it for yourself. Anyway, this was perhaps one of the most enjoyable of the late Greg Kihn singles and videos. And the fact it inspired a Weird Al Yankovic song and video called "I Lost on Jeopardy" with a Kihn cameo in that one makes this one even more enjoyable, that's for sure! R. I. P. Mr. Kihn.

Trivia
Sid Terror did most of the Special Effects and Make-up Effects on the video as a favor to friend, director Joe Dea; Though Terror's only previous experience at that time was in his own movies in film school, the video would then go on to be nominated in the category of "Best Special Effects in a Music Video" that year by Heavy Metal Magazine.
