"I Lost on Jeopardy" by "Weird" Al Yankovic

I was there to match my intellect on national TV
Against a plumber, oh, and an architect, both with a Ph.D
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 (oooh)
I lost on Jeopardy, baby (oooh)

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 (oooh)
I lost on Jeopardy, baby (oooh)

(That's right, Al - you lost. And let me tell you what you didn't win: a twenty volume set of the Encyclopedia International, a case of Turtle Wax, and a year's 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. 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 too bright
Well, I sure hope I do better next weekend on The Price is Right, -ight, -ight

I lost on Jeopardy, baby (oooh)
I lost on Jeopardy, baby (oooh)
I lost on Jeopardy, baby

I'm somewhat disappointed that the San Jose Sharks laying some smack down on the Calgary Flames got a nice big headline and a large colour photo on the front page of the paper today, and the same-sex-marriage-in-Massachusetts story was a single short column (granted there was more on a later page) with small-type head over on the right side of the page. I guess people tend to be more interested in $LOCAL_SPORTS_TEAM...
