RIP. At least he was a two-hit wonder.
Bezerkeley records.
One of the best Weird Al parodies “I Lost On Jeopardy”.
He was great as the morning DJ at KFOX for 16 years (1996-2012). He used to rattle some cages because his comments weren’t exactly liberal. LOL!! He was great to listen to on my morning commute. RIP, Greg.
I love The Breakup Song. RIP
Greg Kihn, a Bay Area staple on Beserkely Records back in the day. RIP.
Greg Kihn was a staple in the Bay Area club scene . The guy was always playing somewhere . Same time and stomping grounds as Eddie Money.
I remember both of those songs from my much-younger days.
RIP, Mr. Kihn.
Well, crap.
Breakup song is a great one for the 3-string cigar box guitar.
He wrote and recorded some fun songs. I used to get him mixed up with Steve Miller, the one who wrote “Space Cowboy”
I enjoyed those two songs.
Time flies.
Life goes quickly. I know you all dont think so, but when you reach old age, your mind goes back to some of the great moments, and it seems it was just ‘yesterday’.. But a lot has happened since then.
Old age is when you have the time and maybe the money.. But the body is saying no. You look in the mirror, and no matter how you spin it.. You are old!

The “Jeopardy Song” is a part of culture now.
You hear it all the time.
When you are in meetings, you might hear someone hum the bar as a joke. Waiting in line at the Registry. Using a computer that is taking a bit too long to complete a task.
I had no idea who wrote that, but if were able to make a similar imprint, however silly it might be on society, I would have to take that as high success!
Can anyone listen to his hit, “Jeopardy”, without thinking about Weird Al?
I never hear The Breakup Song before I just pulled it up on YouTube.
“Greg Kihn, Who Scored Hits With ‘Jeopardy’ and ‘The Breakup Song,’”
Not to mention taking over half of Asia, on HORSEBACK.
He had a facebook page and always interacted with his supporters. I noticed he tapered off from posting early 2024.
He was a decent guy.
