Cheese Sandwich was both based on and voiced by "Weird Al" Yankovic.

'Yankovic is a music industry legend. He came to Scotti Brothers, which at that time was distributed by CBS, in 1982. While there, he joined the band Survivor (also signed to Scotti Brothers) in starting that label's golden age, and rightfully so. He scored hit after hit after hit for the label, including "Eat It" (1984; US #12), "Like a Surgeon" (1985; US #47), "Fat" (1988; US #99, which won the 1988 Concept Music Video Grammy), "I Lost on Jeopardy" (1984; US #84), and "Smells Like Nirvana" (1992; US #35), on his way to becoming a major force in the music video industry and his calling MTV home for over a decade. In addition, the combined success of both "Weird Al" and Survivor attracted other artists to Scotti Brothers (Yankovic even made spoofs of his label mates during his tenure with the Scottis). '

'Yankovic's work was also successful on album. During the 1980s and 1990s he had major album hits, including "In 3-D" (FZ/FZT/FK 39221; 1984; US #17), "Even Worse" (FZ/FZT/FK 44149; 1988; US #27), "Off the Deep End" (72392 75256-2/4; 1992; see "In 3-D" for chart position), "Alapalooza" (with, in Canada, the huge JURASSIC PARK-centered hit spoof of "MacArthur Park"; 72392 75415-2/4; 1993; US #46), "Bad Hair Day" (with the hit "Amish Paradise"; 72392 75500-2/4; 1993; US #14), and more. Of them, many of these records were certified by the RIAA twice: first as Gold records, and then as Platinum records.'

'In the 1990s, the label's success started to wane. Although "Weird Al" was making legitimate hits for Scotti Brothers, he became the only consistent charter for the label, and he recieved a minor fade from presence on the charts. In 1996, the label was turned in and sold to All American Communications, and that very next year, they sold it to the education agency Pearson PLC, which in turn, sold it to Zomba Entertainment. The label immediately shut Scotti Brothers down and proceeded to transfer all contracts, recordings and masters from SBR to their Volcano Entertainment subsidiary. Out of the Scotti Brothers contracts they purchased, they only retained "Weird Al" and Survivor's contracts, and dropped everybody else from SBR. For SBR, all that was left of the label was their contracts, recordings and masters, and those were switched over to Volcano.'

As for the "Bizarre references to Cheeses" comment, that comment itself is bizarre.
