Song Choice

While reviewing our work with the class today, we decided to take the opportunity to get some feedback from the audience to help us reach a decision on the song choice.
We played the Four songs we'd already done and asked everyone to say which was their favourite and why.
Engaging the reaction of the audience, you could tell which ones were making the best impression. 'Stand by Me' produced a lot of smirks in the audience and a little bit of laughter, 'Highway to Hell' seemed to get the poorer response, the cheese lyrics in 'Crazy' made a lot of people in he audience smile but it was 'My Girl' that took to the spotlight and had everyone laughing. 
This was heavily reflected in the results of the tally which are shown below, each cheese wedge represents one vote.

We then looked at all of the comments on why each person preferred that song, we picked out some of the more helpful and entertaining ones, quoted underneath next to the song they voted for:

"Just so much more recognizable. Unexpected Barbershop quartet style song so works perfectly ! its a slow enough speed to understand the lyrics" - My Girl

"The cheeses lyrics were the best but you could apply that to thew other songs. Possibly Summertime, I Said Yeh Yeh or Dinnertime by Mungo Jerry" - My Girl

"Try highway to hell with the mice puns and cheeses" - Highway To Hell

"The cheese references stood out really well. Simple and Distinctive" - My Girl

"Goes with the mousy voices i can picture it best. The lyrics with cheese really connects it to the characters much better and makes it the most funny! No doubt!" - My Girl

"The laughter kind of spoke for itself. The lyrics were the easier to hear with this song too. Recognizable to!" - My Girl

"Cuz it's cheeeeesy!" - My Girl

"I actually laughed - the cheese names fit nicely" - My Girl

"Its really catchy - was hoping you'd sing highway to cheese" - Highway To Hell

"This song can make the lead singer go wild" - Highway To Hell

So summing up from the comments here, it seems like we should stick to the idea of changing the lyrics to various types of cheese so I'll look at where the lyrics work, where they don't and see if there's any way of improving it.
We're also going to check out the songs that have been recommended and make a rough recording if we think it could work.
