I'm surprised that "cheesy" has veered so much in the direction of prog or metal that takes itself too seriously.

To me, the cheesiest songs are the ones that make a clumsy or obvious appeal to maudlin emotions. Clarence Carter has done some decent stuff I believe, but this song suffers from an overdose of cheese:-
