Well, no, not since he developed Alzheimer's ... and def. not now.

But I had forgotten all about Greg Kihn and first thought this was Greg Kinnear.

So, RIP, Kihn. And Kinnear gets to live another day.

IIRC, Jeopardy has the distinction of being the song that was in the #2 spot of the Billboard Hot 100 the longest (12 weeks I believe), never reaching #1, because a Michael Jackson song was #1 at the time.
