Cheese, cheese, cheese!

Liner Notes
This song is for the #CommentsFirst challenge: https://fawm.org/forums/3649
Thanks so much to the folks who sent me fun comments to work with! Here are the three I used:
@marilisa The first harmony you added was great, but when the second one came in I was super impressed!
@wynia This was so light-hearted and fun, I just love it when people write songs about their favorite foods!
@suziek It’s not often that I want to play a song on repeat - but got me good with this one.
Hopefully I have lived up to your comments! I know I definitely had fun writing it (and getting VERY silly) 😅
I'm also counting it for the #capochallenge because I played the chords in G with capo 5. Key of C=key of Capo haha. Octave mandolin again on this one! #folk #silly #food
Lyrics
Well I tried to write a song about my favorite food But I had to think about it didn't want to be rude 'cause I love chocolate, and summer fruit But it turns out my favorite is absolute-ly
Chorus: Cheese cheese cheese It's wonderful stuff Cheese cheese cheese I can't get enough Cheese cheese cheese You can't go wrong when you take your favorite food and put it into a song
You can put it in an omelette and eat it at brunch You can put it on a sandwich and have it for lunch Tonight for dinner, you're in for a treat 'cause without it no pizza would be complete it's
(Chorus)
Well you might be thinking this song is scary Cause you're lactose intolerant and can't have dairy But don't you worry, good news for you They make a vegan substitute out of cashews oh
(Chorus x2)

Oh, this is fun! I grew up thinking I didn't like cheese, and then slowly added cheeses to my list of exceptions until I realized that the exception was really the inexpensive "American Cheese" that was what my Mom thought should be fed to kids. Now I love so many cheeses, just not that one.

This is gonna stuck in my head for the rest of the day! It’s fun and also TRUE! I love cheese too—rally I do! The harmonies are great, building up as you get further into the verses. And the strum pattern does exactly what it needs too—keeps up the energy and never distracts from your words.

Thank you! And sorry not sorry about the earworm...I keep getting it stuck in my head (AND craving cheese) too. 😅

Cheese is life. Old Amsterdam is the best, but I also love Manchego, Edam, Pecorino, Brie, Gouda, Le Gruyere, and... This song couldnt be cheesier for me. Yummy. Its so much fun to listen to these vocals and melodies. Makes me want to cheese along.

Here's to cheese! Absolutely my favorite food. Fun vocal harmonies! Love that first transition to the first chorus (absolute-ly). Well done checking the boxes on those challenges!

Made me chuckle ... and sing along! Love the quaint delivery and sweet rhymes too. I live in The Netherlands... home of - among many other cheese villages - Gouda and Edam, so I agree ... cheese is the best!

I really enjoyed listening. I'd never think to write about something like this and that's what makes it so good.

Perfect!!!! Deliciously delightful and very Gouda! Great delivery. Wisconsin stamp of approval!

Back now that the song is here. So endearing! The melody is so catchy and the lyrics are very clever! I live in Wisconsin and naturally cheese gets a whole drawer in our home, so extra points for choosing cheese to write about!!
Haha thank you! I spent a few years in Wisconsin when I was very small so maybe some of the culture stuck around, I also have a whole drawer for cheese 😂

Thanks for the lovely comment! Hopefully the song will live up to it now that it's done. 😉
This was so light-hearted and fun, I just love it when people write songs about their favorite foods!
Thank you SO much for this comment/prompt, I would never have thought to write a song about this before but it was so much fun! Now I want to listen to a whole album of songs about people's favorite foods...

The first harmony you added was great, but when the second one came in I was super impressed!
Haha this is such a GREAT challenge to throw! I had to mess around with several harmonies before I landed on these. I don't think I'll be auditioning for a bass part anytime soon, but it made me laugh. 😂
Hah 😂I love how it turned out and I think I’ll be singing this in my head all day now…
I have also been singing it in my head all day haha!
