=====================================================
I must say I've been a little disappointed in this thread, expecting 
some real mozzarella from the list.  Chris's original list was fairly 
cheesy - Ghost Riders and Tears for a Clown get a couple of pimentoes 
from me.  The cheese factor ratcheted up a bit with his later list of TV 
/movie themes.  However, I was upset when Rob P. mentioned "She Caught 
the Katy" - hey, my group just added it to our song list in an effort to 
dilute the cheese!  So, in an effort to add a little Stilton to this 
discussion, I checked our song list and present the following as our 
cheesiest, along with my cheese rating (# of c's) and comment.

"Blue Eyes Crying in the Rain" - ccc - good, aged American.
"Secret Agent Man" - c - any TV/Movie song qualifies as cheesy, but this 
one rankes pretty low on the Limburger scale.
"Just a Closer Walk With Thee" - ccccc - real, non-processed Provelone 
(or is schmaltz actually a kind of cheese?).
"Reason to Believe" - cccc - you've got to be better musicians than us 
not to have this one curdle on you.
"What Am I Doing Hanging Round" - cc - my all-time favorite Monkees 
song, but hey - it's a MONKEES song.

I must admit that not much harp gets played on these numbers, plus no 
one pays to hear this load of romano, but thought you all might like to 
see our cheese list.
