1. Which song by Blues Traveler contains the phrase "game show contestant" in its lyrics?
2. Which song by Sting contains the phrase "game show hosts"?
3. Which song by Donna Summer contains the phrase "the price is right"?
4. Which song by Survivor contains the phrase "wheel of fortune"?
5. This quiz would not be complete without the Greg Kihn Band's biggest hit.  Name it.

Wrong...sorry.....

According to Billboard's book of Top 40 Hits 1955-1999, "Jeopardy" was a #2 hit for the Greg Kihn Band in 1983.  Their only other Top 40 hit (and the one I like better) was "The Breakup Song" from 1981, checking in at #15.  So "Jeopardy" was the Greg Kihn Band's biggest hit.

If this was an attempt at sarcasm, then I apologize in advance for not catching it...:)

ObGameShows:  One of my favorite game shows, "Sale of the Century," had a revival on NBC in 1983.

Sorry, we have to take your first answer. And since you didn't phrase it in the form of a question, that's going to cost you.

What, no mention of the famous rapper who referenced a phrase from To Tell The Truth?

Here's one more, for 25 points and a chance at the toaster oven...

Name both the Canadian band and their 1998 hit in which the singer wondered if, "on a 30th-century night," he'll see his girlfriend running down the aisle on "The Price is Right."  30th century?!?! Yeah, Bob'll probably still be alive then, too...:)

That's the horrible Barenaked Ladies song "It's All Been Done."

The late, great Otis Redding had singles named "Match Game" and "Tell the Truth."

And another question:

Whose song included the line "The folks are home playing beat the clock?"

I've not seen the song titled simply as "Jeopardy".  So, following your post, the correct response is "What is 'Our Love's In Jeopardy'"?
