camp and cheesy

今、女子サッカー決勝 日本対アメリカ戦のハーフタイムです。

久しぶりにcampの形容詞の用法に出会いました。一応「俗っぽい、下手物趣味の」あたりの意味でしょうが、訳だけでは伝わりません。英語は難しい!(UG)

Olympic closing ceremony will be 'camp and cheesy,' says music director
OLYMPICS AUG. 09, 2012 - 02:51PM JST ( 5 )

The London Olympics closing ceremony on Sunday will be a “beautiful, cheeky, cheesy, camp, silly and thrilling” journey through British pop history, its musical director promised.

David Arnold, composer of five James Bond scores, told the Daily Telegraph that predictions Paul McCartney and Adele would perform were “scarily accurate”, but would not confirm growing rumours that reclusive singer Kate Bush would appear.

“We’re trying to have moments where someone from (rural west England region) the Cotswolds watching it on TV and someone from a tower block overlooking the East End (of London) will be able to find something in it of which they can say, ‘that’s us, really, that’s Britain’,” he said in an interview published in Thursday’s paper.
