Kihnspiracy
Kihnspiracy is a studio album by the Greg Kihn Band, released in 1983 by Beserkley Records. The album features the hit single "Jeopardy", the band's only top 10 hit on the Billboard Hot 100 singles chart. It reached number 2 in May 1983, beneath Michael Jackson's "Beat It". A parody of the song, "I Lost on Jeopardy", was released by "Weird Al" Yankovic in 1984.
The album marks the group's first line-up change since 1975, with Greg Douglass taking over as lead guitar player after the departure of Dave Carpender. The band supported the album with a North American tour.
Critical reception
The Philadelphia Inquirer deemed the album "undistinguished rock 'n' roll, marked by tight, efficient and totally plodding arrangements."Track listing
