Where'd the cheese go? I don't know.
- Ween, 'Where'd the Cheese Go?'

Time was when we celebrated naffness in all its forms. Back in the late 1980s and 90s admitting a penchant for cheesy songs, movies and clothes was like a badge of honour.

Of course, this suspension of good taste was responsible for some horrendous crimes against reason – Jive Bunny, Hawaiian shirts, 'amusingly' named cocktails, Noel's House Party – but in these post-ironic times have we lost that sense of fun?

So strap on your Deely Boppers, pull on your Mallet's Mallet thinking cap and let us know what you think...

• Are people just too self-aware and too busy trying to be cool these days to let loose and embrace the things that style and fashions forgot? And is that necessarily a bad thing?

• And why were people once so keen to revel in the reviled? Was it a peculiarly British quirk?

• When did 'cheese' become a catch-all term for all things rubbish or tacky? There is some debate among etymologists, but does anyone know exactly when it all started?

• And what do you think counts as the cheesiest thing of all time? Any movies, songs or chat-up lines that stick in your mind and/or throat?

Let us rejoice and, in the words of the great Alan Partridge, say "Smell my cheese!"
