Yankovic, Weird Al - I Lost On Jeopardy Lyrics






I was there to match my intellect on national TV
Against a plumber, oh and an architect, both with a PhD
I was tense, I was nervous, I guess it just wasn't my night
Art Fleming gave the answers
Oh, but I couldn't get the questions right-ight-ight

I lost on Jeopardy, baby, ooh
I lost on Jeopardy, baby, ooh

Well, I knew I was in trouble now
My hope of winning sank
Oh, 'cause I got the Daily Double now
And then my mind went blank
I took Potpourri for one hundred
And then my head started to spin
Well, I'm givin' up, Don Pardo
Just tell me now what I didn't win, yeah, yeah

I lost on Jeopardy, baby, ooh
I lost on Jeopardy, baby, ooh

[Spoken:]
That's right, Al - you lost
And let me tell you what you didn't win: a twenty set volume of the Encyclopedia International
A case of Turtle Wax, and a years supply of Rice-A-Roni, the San Francisco Treat
But that's not all, you also made yourself look like a jerk in front of millions of people
And you brought shame and disgrace to your family name for generations to come
You don't get to come back tomorrow
You don't even get a lousy copy of our home game
You're a complete loser!

Don't know what I was thinkin' of
I guess I just wasn't to bright
Well, I sure hope I do better
Next weekend on the Price Is Right-ight-ight

I lost on Jeopardy, baby, ooh
I lost on Jeopardy, baby, ooh
I lost on Jeopardy, baby

  4. G.... G....

    Brilliant!!!

  5. B.... M....

    Who else is here after watching ABC's Jeopardy Special?

  6. C.... N....

    I'll take song parodies for a 1000. He is the king of musical parodies. Who is Weird Al Yankovic? Correct.

  7. P.... L....

    Watch in 1*25 it's slot better

    P.... L....

    it's pretty good

  8. O.... ....

    I’m surprised that Al hasn’t remade this music video and based it around the syndicated version of Jeopardy.

  9. T.... W....

    I like that there was a guy from Carbondale Illinois which I live an hour away from there

  10. M.... ....

    seriously youtube, a nonskippable ad in the middle of a music video?

  11. H.... a....

    This actually revived jeopardy

  12. T.... 9....

    2:29 Why do I feel as though that's Vanna White?

  13. D.... H....

    3:11 doctor demento cameo

  14. e.... w....

    DONNNN PARDOOOOO

  15. J.... D....

    He lost on jeopardy so he became a foil advertiser until the CIA found him and he became a CIA agent

  16. A.... D....

    Hello! Update and correction: Answer: Hell. Question: Where do you go if you lose on Jeopardy ❓🧠🔫🙈🙉🙊📺👁️ oh, baby. [email protected]

  17. D.... P....

    FYI, the older camera man with the grey beard, is actually Dr. Demento.

  18. M.... ....

    Making songs like this he will buy all the prizes he didn’t win

    Also anyone notice that it said famous accordion players,like “Weird Al”

  19. B.... T....

    There should have been a category: Potent Potables

  20. T.... S....

    I had no idea this was a parody of another song until about three years ago!

  21. G.... K....

    Wolf Bliitzer

  22. T.... ....

    I literally lost it for the whole video when he said both with a Ph.D

  23. G.... B....

    This German Baroness could suck the chrome off a fender lol

  24. D.... b....

    1:45 it looks like the morphogenic engine

  25. R.... H....

    The man is a genius! He made a living on tweaking other people’s songs. I’ve a fan since the late 80’s

  26. S.... ....

    Every underachieving kid on the test

  27. C.... ....

    👍👍

  28. R.... K....

    What would they say to me if i didn't win?

  29. D.... D....

    pretty much sums up an exam where you know nothing

  30. K.... B....

    I still love that Greg Kihn was approving this, as long as he got to put in a cameo.

  31. J.... S....

    Wow. What a Complete Loser Weird Al is. He’s really a complete loser on Jeopardy. He even got banned forever from Jeopardy. He’s gonna be grounded when he gets home.

    J.... S....

    Uh.... lets not discuss what happened to his parents

  32. D.... B....

    I listen to this video and I love it I've always been a weird Al fan to begin

  33. F.... ....

    That's Greg Kihn at the end, driving away with Weird Al.

  34. S.... ....

    So who here watches film theory?

  35. B.... ....

    how can losing a game of Jeopardy make your family hate you for generations
    Good Song Tho

  36. K.... M....

    My mom watched this with us when we were kids, and I remember her being shocked because she'd never actually seen Don Pardo before. Best cameos in Weird Al vids.

  37. M.... G....

    Fun fact: Al had a degree in architecture.

  38. t.... ....

    I just discovered this on accident and I'm unsure if it's rather new and quoting old music or just really old

  39. K.... C....

    I think we NEED a Jeopardy James cameo for this music video now.......

  40. R.... o....

    this is me when I lose on a popular American gameshow

  41. G.... C....

    He won on wheel of Fortune though

  42. S.... M....

    Many a time when someone asks me a question to which I do not know the answer, I'll reply with "Well, I'm giving up, Don Pardo. Just tell me now what I didn't win." Most people give me a blank look and go 'Ruh?' However, every once in a great while someone will cock and eyebrow, look me square in the eye and say either, "Weird Al?" or "I lost on Jeopardy?" to which I reply "Yeah!!!!" So awesome when it happens.

  43. H.... ....

    Al: I lOsT oN JeOPaRDy...BABY

  44. I.... ....

    He probably lost because he decided to go with what's in the box.

  45. a.... m....

    I love 80s music

  46. C.... w....

    3:05 Weird Al was saying "aight" before it was cool.

  47. E.... H....

    i miss this WEird Al.........not that the 2019 is not great..but this WEird Al was legendary... they should fight...2019 WEird Al vs 89 WEird Al

  48. W.... ....

    I always love how the one contestant smugly straightens his tie at 2:11. Like it's just rubbing in the fact that Al is losing.

  49. P.... F....

    1:33 Oh, 'cause I got the Daily Double now. And then my mind went blank. I took Potpourri for $100-the answer is!-and then, my head started to spin! I'm giving up, Don Pardo-just tell me now what I didn't win!

  50. K.... P....

    I love this song

  51. P.... F....

    2:15 That's right, Al, you lost; and let me tell you what you DIDN'T win-a 20-volume set of the Encyclopedia International, a case of Turtle Wax, and a year's supply of Rice-a-Roni, the San Francisco treat!
    2:40 You don't even get a lousy copy of our home game! FORGET IT! You're a complete loser! rsssssssp! I lost on Jeopardy, baby!

  52. c.... ....

    I just found this. Amazing!!!!!
    https://youtu.be/DnTOGYijeyw

  53. D.... M....

    I've watched jeopardy and I have... dare I say it... never seen "weird al" yankovic on there

  54. H.... ....

    OOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOooooOOOOOooooooo

  55. B.... ....

    "This German baroness could suck the chrome off a fender" LOL that is fucking hilarious, more so because Al is not the dirty type

  56. V.... C....

    lol the one guy with headphones looks like vsauce

  57. S.... M....

    Me: So, Al, how many questions do you think you can answer correctly?


    Al: No.

  58. T.... ....

    Potpourri for $100 is time dilation equations.

  59. D.... H....

    He has suchsuch great Creativity

  60. K.... S....

    Daily Double: "This German baroness could suck the chrome off a bumper" !!

  61. I.... B....

  62. J.... S....

    Dr. Demento at 3:10

  63. s.... ....

    Heard Al Yankovic a few years after high school graduation (1976). The song was "My Bologna." Lifelong fan since.

  64. F.... H....

    How I feel eveyday in school

  65. A.... D....

    Hello! Art Fleming and Don pardo are losers on Jeopardy. They insult the moron and retarded contestant known as weird Al Yankovic. How dare they do that to a contestant who not know what he do. Jeopardy is a show about contestants who try to remember to form an answer into a question but bet low. How dare they insult a contestant when they know nothing. Idiots as Host and announcer. This is Jeopardy now oh baby! [email protected]

  66. A.... B....

  84. V.... D....

    I love how after he said "I couldn't get the questions right," that one of the topics were "Famous Accordion Players"

  85. F.... ....

    I remember the little sliding cards.

  86. K.... C....

    Greg Kihn at the end -- nice touch!

  87. W.... S....

    A question if I may; is this what the 1984 set of Jeopardy actually looked like?

  88. V.... P....

    10 years old!

    V.... P....

    Trouble doing math, I see.
    Try 35 years old.

  89. R.... ....

    1:15 - Famous accordion players xD Weird Al can actually play accordion, learned it as a kid

  90. D.... N....

    This should have been to the Jeopardy theme

  91. C.... W....

    Reviving Jeopardy, just another thing on his resume.

  92. D.... H....

    The one and Only

  93. H.... H....

    If you press 3 they will just say 'E'

    Press 9 and Al will say "Ebay"

  94. E.... B....

    Its funny greg kihn is at the end

  95. E.... B....

    The original video is pretty funny to imo

  96. T.... D....

    Jason Zuffranieri be like...

  97. S.... I....

    It’s the categories they should’ve picked
    Civil Servants, Stamps From Around The World, Mothers & Sons, Beer, Bar Trivia, Celibacy,
    Yeah this song should’ve been featured in that episode of Cheers
