Please listen to both songs before you vote!

"Jeopardy"

"I Lost on Jeopardy"

Fun fact: Not only does Weird Al's video feature the real Art Fleming and Don Pardo (the host and announcer of the original Jeopardy TV show), but it also features Greg Kihn (from the original song that Al's song is a parody of!) driving away in a car, referencing the end of his own music video.

“Jeopardy” Singer Greg Kihn Dies at 75

Greg Kihn, who scored the hits “Jeopardy” and “The Breakup Song (They Don’t Write ’Em)” with his eponymous band, has died, his family said.

Kihn’s death was announced Aug. 15 without the date or cause given. His family called the musician “an iconic figure in the realm of rock music.”

“May Greg Kihn rest in peace and love,” Todd Rundgren’s Spirit of Harmony Foundation said.

Kihn’s early-1980s rise with such albums as RocKihnRoll and Kihnspiracy coincided with that of his longtime friend Eddie Money, whose family remembered the Greg Kihn Band leader as a “a funny and likable guy, and an immensely underrated artist and performer.”

After his music career cooled, Kihn went on to host radio programs in the Bay Area and former Wings drummer Laurence Juber a perennial guest.

“Always a blast to chat and jam with,” Juber said of Kihn.

On this day in 1981, The Greg Kihn Band single “The Breakup Song (They Don’t Write ‘Em)” debuted on the US Billboard Hot 100 at #88 (May 23)

It was the first hit for The Greg Kihn Band, and their biggest until they scored with "Jeopardy" in 1983.

The song from the album “RocKihnRoll” peaked at #14 in Australia and #15 on the US Billboard Hot 100.

The Greg Kihn Band are still playing to this day, 23 albums later, and he’s right......they don’t write like that anymore....

help maryland find a new state song

with the horse race this weekend it has come to my attention that maryland uninstalled (/disowned? /deplatformed??) its state song 2 years ago and has yet to select a replacement. for some reason they haven't asked for my input yet, but naturally my dad & I compiled a list of popular songs by musical artists from maryland and now I need your help determining which one should be maryland's new state song.

here's the playlist:

disclaimer: I am not from Maryland but I have been there several times. love those pink highways
