Some of the more interesting composers of the last half century who have been sometimes described as being "eclectic" occasionally did stuff that to me would qualify as being cheesy. Frank Zappa, Carla Bley and John Zorn come to mind as examples.
But in that category, Ennio Morricone is the first one I think of, especially during the Giallo period of the early 70s.
For example, the soundtrack for The Dark Belly of the Tarantula (1971) starts out with what is to me a fairly cheesy theme:

But the rest of the soundtrack is full of music that shows how much Morricone was into the more experimental genres of that era:
