It's all about lounge

Lounge against the machine is the first album by Richard Cheese and as far as first albums go it's really quite something. Richard Cheese is the LA based comedian Mark Davis and his backing band Bobby Ricotta and Frank Feta are actually Noel Melanio and Brian Fishler.

The entire premise behind Richard Cheese is what would happen if you took Metal/Rap/Pop songs and covered them in the most over the top swanky lounge style possible? well the answer is some very funny songs and some surprisingly good music. If your anything like me you'll listen to it a few times to laugh at how deadpan lines like "here's one for the ladies, RAPE ME!" but after a little while you'll stop listening to the lyrics and just appreciate such a well done over the top style of lounge. This is an album i can thoroughly recommend to everyone, you'll come for the kitsch and stay for the camp.
