*In 2007 a lesser known but eerily similar rendition came out called throw some cheese on it. A up and coming southern indiana rapper named A-Ron with polos on came out with the catchy tune. Most people that were interviewed said this version was better than the original because the lyrics had more meaning. A-Ron with polos on had a strong love for sliced cheese. He would use it in any and all meals and would throw it on everything. Had Rolling Stone magazine heard of the song they would have enjoyed it thoroughly, but unfortunately it was never mass produced and did not make it on the radio due to politics. A-Ron with polos on has stayed away from the lime light recently and has focused on his real passion of polos.and sliced cheese.
