This salute to the pre-Trebek version of the game show remains one of Al's catchiest songs, with the onscreen tech crew (including Dr. Demento) doing the oos. Don Pardo, whom I then best knew from Saturday Night Live reruns, seems to take particular glee in calling Al a loser. Unlike "Eat It," this doesn't attempt to capture the original video, except in the closing shots, with Greg Kihn himself in the car. Look for the naughty "answer" about chrome-sucking, which we're not given the question for.
