Description: Yes, I made a fan music video. However, this one is different, as there are no other music videos on Youtube of this song about this subject. So, thank you for your indulgence. This is a music video (More) Yes, I made a fan music video. However, this one is different, as there are no other music videos on Youtube of this song about this subject. So, thank you for your indulgence. This is a music video of a song by Eric D. Snider (www.ericdsnider.com) about Ken Jennings (www.ken-jennings.com). Ken Jennings, of course, was noted for his 74-game winning streak on American TV's Jeopardy! in 2004. Eric is an online movie critic, humor columnist, and musical wit--kind of a Roger Ebert, Dave Barry, and "Weird Al" Yankovic all rolled into one. Both are members of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints (Mormons, LDS), were born in 1974, attended the same university (BYU) that I did, are very intelligent, watch a lot of movies, and have good senses of humor. Here's an entertaining column wherein Eric describes meeting Ken in late 2006: http://www.ericdsnider.com/snide/ken-you-believe-it/ Ken's blog entry describing the same event is here: http://ken-jennings.com/blog/?p=204 The song is a parody of "Mr. Brightside" by The Killers. About the middle of the song, Stephen Colbert and David Letterman make brief cameos. Neil Armstrong (possibly Buzz Aldrin), Tom Cruise, Mitt Romney, Rodin's "The Thinker" and Michelangelo's "David" (no nudity, though) also get featured. (Did I just name drop to get additional hits to this video? Yes I did. Why do you think this description is so long?) Fellow Jeopardy! and Who Wants to Be A Millionaire champs Brad Rutter, Kevin Olmstead and Nancy Christy also get featured, as well as Bob Boden, a game show enthusiast. Also, Nancy Zerg, who beat Ken Jennings. And a nerd superman. The rest (like Oprah Winfrey) get named in the lyrics. By the way, that's Eric at the beginning of the song playing a song which is not the one you're hearing. If you're interested, you can hear that song, "Safety First," a parody of "Choose the Right" here: http://youtube.com/watch?v=F4y3sRDq0d0 That's also him singing "The Scully Song," about Agent Dana Scully of "The X-Files," in this video: http://youtube.com/watch?v=jfm0tXO-OiI "Mr Bright Guy" was available for purchase on Eric's CD "Monkeys and Pirates are Funny," but that CD sold out recently, unfortunately. The good news is that Eric has generously enabled the public to listen to that and several more of his songs here: http://www.ericdsnider.com/player.php Here are the lyrics of the song: Coming out of Salt Lake and I was doing real nice I could always ring first with my signaling device. I had questions for all of the answers they gave. It was not a tight game It was not a close shave. I was up by a lot When we got to the end Alex told me I'd won That the winner was Ken. For the next several weeks I would win every time My opponents were geeks But they were facing Ken Jennings I could not stop winning I'm too smart! I'll be a star A nerd icon A game show King Kong Jeopardy! Makes a rich Saint out of me My Church will say "Oh my heck!" When they see my tithing check. I'm a Mormon millionaire! Maybe faced with dorky hair You can't beat me, don't even try, 'Cause I'm Mr. Bright Guy. After seventy-four games I was on quite a streak People tuned in to watch like I was some kind of freak Household name I became "Hey, it's squeaky-clean slouch" Oh, without posing nude, or jumping on Oprah's couch. But on show 75 I began to have trouble 'Cause I kept screwing up When I hit Daily Doubles. By the end of the game, I was up but not much And then Final Jeopardy! came And I disappointed Alex When I wrote "What is Fed Ex?" I was wrong! My reign was done I left in shock It was H&R Block. Jeopardy! I was making history A Mormon who is notable For knowing potent potables. But all good things have to end Trebek says we can still be friends My fifteen minutes have gone by But I'm Mr. Bright Guy. Additional Credits: Thanks to jdkresz, darijoe, foundonfloor, and kraut63, for uploading clips of and about Jeopardy that were used in the video, as well as knobodi for the clip of the earth exploding. The painting that appears during the lyrics "I was making" is "Blacksmith Shop Scene" by Herman Geisen, circa 1950. Various other images were found at various places on the internet (including several from ken-jennings.com). I altered some of them, and I believe their use here is allowed under free use. Hope you enjoy it. --Ryan Reeder Postscript: Actual comments from Ken and Eric regarding the video: "It's fine."--Eric D.

Here are the lyrics of the song:
Coming out of Salt Lake
and I was doing real nice
I could always ring first
with my signaling device.
I had questions for all
of the answers they gave.
It was not a tight game
It was not a close shave.
I was up by a lot
When we got to the end
Alex told me I'd won
That the winner was Ken.
For the next several weeks
I would win every time
My opponents were geeks
But they were facing Ken Jennings
I could not stop winning
I'm too smart!
I'll be a star
A nerd icon
A game show King Kong
Jeopardy!
Makes a rich Saint out of me
My Church will say "Oh my heck!"
When they see my tithing check.
I'm a Mormon millionaire!
Maybe faced with dorky hair
You can't beat me, don't even try,
'Cause I'm Mr. Bright Guy.
After seventy-four games
I was on quite a streak
People tuned in to watch
like I was some kind of freak
Household name I became
"Hey, it's squeaky-clean slouch"
Oh, without posing nude,
or jumping on Oprah's couch.
But on show 75
I began to have trouble
'Cause I kept screwing up
When I hit Daily Doubles.
By the end of the game,
I was up but not much
And then Final Jeopardy! came
And I disappointed Alex
When I wrote "What is Fed Ex?"
I was wrong!
My reign was done
I left in shock
It was H&R Block.
Jeopardy!
I was making history
A Mormon who is notable
For knowing potent potables.
But all good things have to end
Trebek says we can still be friends
My fifteen minutes have gone by
But I'm Mr. Bright Guy.
