"Caught in the Game" is a song by American rock band Survivor, released in October 1983 as the lead single from their fourth studio album of the same name (1983).[1] Jim Peterik regarded the song's guitar riff as "perhaps the most powerful and enduring riff" that Frankie Sullivan had ever created.[2]
Music video
The music video finds Survivor playing a game of craps. Peterik described it as "unintentionally camp" and believed it contributed to the album being less successful than their previous work.[3]
