Get Out of My Room (1985)Cheech and Chong: Get Out of My Room
Hey guess what? We made a video cuz everybody kept telling us "Hey, you dudes should make a video". Actually we made four videos and as long as we're at it a documentary of how we made 'em, sort of. At first Tommy didn't want to do them. He said, "If we're gonna be stupid let's get paid a lot instead of little, but after two weeks of hanging around with beautiful models he thought maybe it wasn't so bad. We thought we were so too cool, anyways, hope you dig 'em and run them backwards and forwards a lot. Love, Cheech and Chong.
Get Out of My Room
Show's you what you can do with a lot of smoke, girls and a rat guitar.
I'm Not Home Right Now
Hope this one ends up on everybody's answering machine.
Love is Strange
We still had a lot of smoke left over from the first video and Tommy wanted to use some more models.
