TMBG!

We want Cheese, please!

We love Cheese! Awesome, and my kids love Mr. Richard's music!

Cheese all the way!

Cheese is the best! I say "CHEESE"!!!

CHEESE!!!!!! My kids love Mr. Richard!

I do love They Might Be Giants, but Mr Richard's Cheese gets our vote

Our vote is for CHEESE!

I vote for Cheese - it's the best!

Both videos are certainly fun to watch and well crafted, however I must cast my vote for Mr. Richard's 'Cheese'. Ultimately, these are videos for kids, and I simply feel 'Cheese' speaks more directly to that audience. Now, if either of you guys come out with a video featuring chimps dressed as humans, you'll immediately get my vote... and any FUTURE vote! Who can pass up a chimp wearing slacks and a necktie? Keep on rockin' it, guys!
