Many times, the "cheesy" songs hit the top of the pop charts at some point
in the past and are more easily recognized by patrons who may know little
about the music or the artists they're listening to in the clubs, so it
serves as a gesture that the "foreigners" are friendly, so to speak. When
in Rome... Of course, some of these bands now actually had an affinity at
one point or another during their youth for pop songs. To think about it,
we've all probably liked something "cheesy" at some point, maybe even laugh
at our choices now.
