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.
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.
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.

That is a stinker, Treeseed! Please feel free to add it to the list!
Honey written by Bobby Russell and recorded by Bobby Goldsboro..google those god-awful lyrics.

Any song by Bread. Or Gary Lewis and the Playboys.
Also Dino, Desi, and Billy.

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.
@jennarenn: That's just WRONG!
I've added Chicken Dance, c-b, and I've made the list open, so feel free to add your "favourites"!
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.
