Kihnspiracy is a 1983 studio album by the Greg Kihn Band and features the hit single "Jeopardy". 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.

"Jeopardy" was the band's only top-10 hit on the Billboard Hot 100 singles chart.[1] It reached number 2 in May 1983, beneath Michael Jackson's "Beat It". A parody of the song, titled "I Lost on Jeopardy", was released by "Weird Al" Yankovic in 1984.
