Bye Bye Birdie is a cheese treasure chest - but it's MEANT to be cheesy, does it still count? Telephone Hour ranks high with the cheese factor, but it's adorable!

Weird.
Just reading this thread while listening to accubroadway and they started playing the overture from Gypsy.
"I had a dream"
Weird.

I second Mikewood...

"the song with the Goat and Elphaba from Wicked"

it really is BAAAAAAA...DDD!

I skip it every time too.

Hmmm..agree just cos a song is cheesy, doesn't mean it's necessarily bad (just cheese-o-rific). That said, here are my picks:

Sugar and The Green Green Dress from Tick Tick Boom.

The Clambake ditty from Carousel (the vittels we 'et were good, you bet...)

I Feel Pretty from WSS

Pretty much anything from Dames at Sea. The cheesiness is what makes the show great, though. So I appreciate the cheesy.

okay, so i've been yelled at for saying something about SOM before...but "climb every mountain" is pure cheese. yell if you want, but i'm sticking by it!!!

also, "the human heart" from OOTI is pretty cheesy, and BORING!! it's so repetitive that i can't listen to it for more than 30 seconds.....and i'm doing that show this summer. oh lordy! (but it's okay, b/c i'm not erzulie, i'm asaka!!)

O my goodness, totally forgot Fame!!!

Bring on tomorrow
Let it shine
Like the sun coming up on a beautiful day
It's yours and mine
We can make a difference
It's not too late
Bring on tomorrow
We can't wait

*slow clap*
Wow.

Cheesiness...pretty much anything from Bye Bye Birdie, Music Man, Sound of Music, Grease, or Annie with a few exceptions. Cheesy doesn't necessarily mean bad though.

There's one song in Millie though, I can't remember what it's called, but the lyrics are just purely bad cheese.

??? I strongly disagree with this comment, I hope it was a joke. I could list a whole bunch of songs that I like.

Classicat, you didn't specify which comment you were disagreeing with. Mine? someone elses? or the whole thread in general??

If it's mine, then I said those shows are cheesy. That doesn't mean I don't like them. There's plenty of songs I like from those shows. Sometimes cheesy = good, because it's entertaining.

If you weren't talking about my comment, then never mind!

Thank you OnTheAisle - that's exactly what I meant - although I am slightly embarassed about the fact that I didn't know the correct name of the song due to the fact that I just finished a civic theatre production of Gypsy two weeks ago.
