"Teddy's Jam" is an instrumental by American R&B group Guy, recorded for their debut studio album Guy (1988). The song was released as the album's third single in 1988. It comprises the melody of The Inspector Gadget theme tune and the chord sequence of Bobby Caldwell's 'What You Won't Do for Love' and this was very influential for R&B artists such as Christopher Williams, Janet Jackson,Johnny Gill and Rebbie Jackson, possibly serving as the musical blueprint for Jam.
