Richard Cheese

Richard Cheese is the not-so-subtle lounge-singer alias of writer/actor/comedian/singer Mark Jonathan Davis, who had previously scored a Dr. Demento request favorite with "The Star Wars Cantina." The Los Angeles-based Davis also worked as a jingle singer, and made appearances on NewsRadio, Batman: The Animated Series, and The Late Show with David Letterman. For the Richard Cheese project, Davis assembled a big band and recorded lounge covers of '90s alternative rock hits. The resulting album, Lounge Against the Machine, was released in late 2000.
