Yes, it's quite a vivid memory, Sionnach. I've often wondered about the preponderance of dairy-themed costumes at that party, especially since it took place in a city. My friends and I went as a) Joan Crawford, b) a hit man, and c) a prom queen ghoul. Not many people spoke to us. Perhaps that was why. But I swear that the invitation mentioned no such milk-and-cheese costume requirements.

@reesetee: I cannot get the image of this party of yours out of my mind, no matter how hard I try. Was it sponsored by the American Dairy Council, perhaps? A theme party in honor of James McIntyre, the Chaucer of Cheese?

I am left to bewail the appalling lack of dairy-themed costumed parties in my own past. And to think how I might have looked as a carton of heavy whipping cream.

Any song by Bread. Or Gary Lewis and the Playboys.

Also Dino, Desi, and Billy.

Yes, chained_bear, but when you've been to a costume party at an art school at which a giant wedge of Swiss cheese is standing in the corner alone, unable to circulate because of her giant-ness, while Cheese's companion, Not-So-Giant Mouse, runs around in grey leotards chatting with all the cute art students--all while Giant Land O' Lakes Butter box is barreling down the stairway toward you and a Huge Spotted Cow is eyeing the pretzel bowl--it becomes funnier.

This isn't actually the song itself, so I didn't add it, but it is truly awful, and it's PART of a song:

The cheese stands alone.

While amusing, especially when said during staff meetings (don't ask), it's a FRIGGIN' AWFUL TUNE.

Every time I hear the chicken dance, I think back to last year when some kids in a colleague's class could hula hoop while doing the chicken dance.

Do you know the Chicken Dance? (I don't know if that's the name of the tune or just the dance.) Or that awful Benny Hill theme song, which I found out recently is called the Potato Chip Crawl?

I bet I can come up with a bunch of crappy tunes for you, SoG. I'm favoriting this list. Awesome idea.
