It’s safe to say that you can be as cheesy as you want to be on National Cheese Curd Day! The deep-fried treat is one of our favorite snacks (and fair foods!), and if you have a treasure trunk full of guilty pleasure songs, then it’s also the perfect time to break them out for the world to see by suggesting them for today’s Coffee Break.  

Let’s create a playlist full of songs with extra cheese. (And the cheesier the better 😉)

So for today’s 9:30 Coffee Break, what songs that are considered cheesy would you like to hear?
