Deos this count? Not sure if it’s high enough on the cheese scale. [Gypsies, Tramps, and Thieves](http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TOSZwEwl_1Q).

Wow! They won a Grammy for Fly Robin Fly?!? Best R&B Instramental.  
They lyrics for both of those songs consist of only six different words. :smack:

So, that “Chirpie Chirpie Cheep Cheep” song is kinda… catchy. I’d never heard it before.

God help me, I saved the video, and I’m going to convert it to mp3.

…and now I’ve tracked down an mp3 of the album version.

Chirpie chirpie cheep!

I always nominate:

[Come and Get Your Love](http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_xLi39E9PbA) - Redbone (Catchy song, cheesy getups)

And for cheesy 70s videos, it’s hard to beat Earth Wind and Fire. How about:

[Boogie Wonderland](http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_jLGa4X5H2c) - Earth Wind and Fire

And:

[Boogie Nights](http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AzoDqmDtD1Q) - Heatwave (check out the David Spade look-alike manning the keyboard)

_Boogie Nights_ is the earliest memory of music I have. It’s the first song I recognised as being fun to sing and dance to. I would have been six years old.
