I trust everyone got their taxes done, as today is the deadline to have them filed on time. With that thought in mind I figured the best post I could do today is the cheese factor post. While this post won’t focus on all the cheese in Washington, it will look at those cheesy songs recorded in Southern Gospel music.
While the Lewis Family was always a bluegrass gospel group, they spent most of their career touring the Southern Gospel circuit playing on many of the biggest Southern Gospel concert stages. Many years ago the group recorded a novelty song titled “Which Came First”.
The group decided to place the song on their 50th anniversary album released in 2002. Of all the songs the Lewis Family recorded in their career, to include this song on a commemorative recording was a bit puzzling. But, if not, we wouldn’t have a cheese factor post this week.
Listen to the Lewis Family sing one of the cheesiest songs I’ve ever heard; “Which Came First (The Chicken Or The Egg)”.
One may consider it cheesy, but I always thought it was a song tailored toward children. It’s got a good, simple message that a child can understand about God’s creation.

To me, saying this song is cheesy would be like saying “The B-I-B-L-E” is cheesy. I may be wrong about the song’s intent, but I’ve always liked it as a kids’ song.
Cheese doesn’t always translate as ‘bad’. As far as kids songs, I would find most of them cheesy listening to them now. Again, cheesy does not always mean I am saying it is a ‘bad’ song.
Understood, and agree. Certainly this is cheesy from an adult’s perspective, but from a child’s, it’s not cheesy at all. It’s right on their level.
I thought it was so good, I said it twice.
With one to grow on the second time.
There are sevearl songs featuring Little Roy Lewis that could certainly be called cheesy. I’m sure they were picked for him on purpose to fit his comedy routine.
