[edit] name

His website contains numerous references as "Dick Cheese", obv. a parody name

He is also called Dick in many of his songs. He even makes references to himself as Dick. It maybe a parody (Dick Cheese, he he) or just a nick name.

[edit] Bad attribution

The copy of Gin and Juice I've seen attributed to him was a completely different artist doing a very non-lounge (catskills/bluegrass?) version of the song. Does he really have a cover of Gin and Juice?

He does, though the oft-incorrectly attributed version is by The Gourds.

  • iTunes has several versions of the Richard Cheese Gin and Juice recording. --AStanhope 21:57, 14 May 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Songs in "Style" List

Am I the only one who thinks that this list has really gotten out of hand? At what point is this going to become a complete list of all of his songs in no particular order? UnhandledException 21:25, 8 July 2006 (UTC)

Yep. A sample has become a discography. — RevRagnarok Talk Contrib Reverts 23:08, 8 July 2006 (UTC)
What should be done? Should they all be deleted since they just seem to spawn growth? Ideas, anybody? UnhandledException 01:38, 10 July 2006 (UTC)
Well, there WAS a category that was deleted in June, I didn't see it before (only had Personal Jesus anyway). I think that would have been good. What about we put two sample songs (the first being from the band that the CD title spoofs) under each CD, and then make sure that any extra data gets pushed to the specific CD (like the specific song links, looking at Tuxicity there is only the band name). Example (in Discography section):

A ha! Found it, the category was renamed to [[Category:Richard Cheese and Lounge Against the Machine songs]] (if somebody knows how to link without making this page in the category let me know). So, while fixing the discography, we can go tag those songs also with the proper category. — RevRagnarok Talk Contrib Reverts 02:36, 10 July 2006 (UTC)
Put a colon (:) in front of the word Category in the link. UnhandledException 02:12, 11 July 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Big Cleanup

Well, I was bold and did as I had proposed. I also played with AWB and we now have 58 songs in the category instead of 22. Enjoy, bedtime was 2 hours ago... — RevRagnarok Talk Contrib Reverts 03:50, 11 July 2006 (UTC)

Well done, even if it does make you sleepy today. I'm really curious to see what is on his Christmas album coming out in a couple of months or so... If I had extra money at the moment, I would have paid the $75 he's charging to put something in the liner notes... UnhandledException 18:10, 11 July 2006 (UTC)
Thanx. Glad you liked. — RevRagnarok Talk Contrib Reverts 19:34, 11 July 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Recent Vandalism

69.164.190.77 recently vandalised this article. When I viewed its other contributions it seems that it has been vandalising other articles. Can somebody with authority please block him? --Sfrostee (Sfrostee (talk · contribs))

This is not the place to ask. Wikipedia:Administrators' noticeboard is a good start, then read the top of the page. — RevRagnarok Talk Contrib 14:43, 4 November 2006 (UTC)


[edit] I just changed an deleted

Changed the bold font of his real name to a "red" link and deleted a seriously pointless link; http://www.metafilter.com/comments.mefi/22800


[edit] Lounge Against the Machine

Isn't "and Lounge Against the Machine" only included in the band's name on "Tuxicity"? Tim Long 23:17, 18 July 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Inspiration? Predecessors?

Is there any record claiming how Cheese supposedly "came up with" this idea? I know, for example, that the New York-based Lounge-O-Leers were working the same gimmick as early as 1997. 206.218.218.57 (talk) 15:48, 5 February 2008 (UTC)


[edit] new wikipedia category

There should be a category for bands that cover songs in a particular style, like Richard Cheese(lounge), Me First and the gimme gimmes(punk), and Hayseed Dixie(bluegrass). —Preceding unsigned comment added by 96.236.96.46 (talk) 04:06, 17 February 2008 (UTC)
