The Resume
(July 10, 1950- )
Frontman for The Greg Kihn Band
Recorded 'The Breakup Song (They Don't Write 'Em)' and 'Jeopardy'

Why he might be annoying
He is a two hit wonder.
He is a DJ in San Jose where his radio station puts on an annual concert (called 'Kihncert') and always has his band as the opening act.
He has a pet praying mantis named Zatoichi.
He appeared on NBC's 'Hit Me Baby One More Time,' says he always 'plays to win' and was 'pissed off' when Thelma Houston beat him.
Why he might not be annoying
'Jeopardy' reached #2 on Billboard's U.S. Singles chart in 1983.
The song was parodied by 'Weird' Al titled 'I Lost On Jeopardy' with original 'Jeopardy' TV alum Art James and Don Pardo.
He named his son Ry (a guitarist in his own right whom he calls 'next of Kihn') after his favorite guitarist Ry Cooder.
His album titles are puns on his name; 'Rockihnroll,' 'Kihntinued,' 'Kihnspiracy,' 'Kihntagious' and 'Citizen Kihn.'
He felt he let his charity and Green Day down (singing their 'Boulevard of Broken Dreams') during the 'Hit Me Baby' taping, but once he heard Houston he stated, 'That woman can sing rings around me!'
