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'"?

Whipping out the trusty Billboard book of Top 40 Hits, 1955-1999, the song is entitled simply "Jeopardy."  I have never seen it titled the way you have it; either that's how somebody entered it on one of the p2p fileshare programs or you may have seen it possibly subtitled (Our Love's in) Jeopardy.

However, for completeness, the actual song title is "Jeopardy," so whoserman was right...

Now, it's my turn:  What song had the following line?

"As I was walking down the street one day, being pushed and shoved by people trying to beat the clock..."

Chicago's Does Anybody Really Know what Time it is? This song has been a collaboration between CHicago and Earth Wind and Fire on their current concert tour(they jammed this song on the Today show yesterday morning)

On the country side, Earl Thomas Conley had a hit in the late '80s called "That Was a Close One."  What fan-favorite game show was mentioned in the song?

A quick Google search says it's Whew! Song even makes reference to Winter of 1979, just before the show premiered.

Given just a little bit of knowledge about how to do it, searching song lyrics on the Internet isn't exactly a taxing proposition.

Don't let any politicos or the RIAA hear that or they will make it one.

Correct! It was actually 1981, though, but who really cares?

If you go by peak year on the charts (which is my preferred method of cataloguing music), then Zach's right--it was 5/29/82 when "Fantasy" hit #23 on the BILLBOARD Hot 100.

Doug -- and the countdown to 1300 continues

I was going by release year, so we're both right I guess.

Which is totally ridiculous, because you set yourself up for a situation where you have different "birth years" for singles off of the same album, particularly with some of those mega-albums of the 1980's that spawned many many singles. (Huey Lewis & The News' "Sports", The Cars' "Heartbeat City" and Def Leppard's "Hysteria" come to mind.)

You further set yourselp up for situations where a single was released more than once, and charted higher the second time. "Relax" from Frankie Goes To Hollywood and "People Are People" from Depeche Mode come to mind here.

It also suggests a certain nationalism, though this is a far minor point. Duran Duran's first album was released in 1981, yet it didn't see US shores until 1983. Pet Shop Boys released their first album's singles in a different order in the UK than they did in the US.

If you could buy the album with the song on it in a certain year, that's the year you oughta go by. My own damn opinion.
