Cheech & Chong Album: “Get Out of My Room”

If you like slapstick humor and off-beat comedy, then you will like this album. I think that a lot of college age people will enjoy this album as well,

Although I have enjoyed Cheech and Chong's comedy for years, this CD has been edited from what it should have been. I still have the cassette version and was looking forward to the CD with higher sound quality, but instead got an abridgement of each track. What makes Cheech and Chong fun to listen to is their unrestrained humor and this holds back too much in my opinion.

Released by MCA Records in 1985, Cheech & Chong's GET OUT OF MY ROOM (MCA-5640) is nominally the soundtrack to a running gag music video that's very different from this record. Both do however give a final bow to some of their old characters before the two funnymen went their separate ways.

Cheech Marin directed the 53 minute film and also dominates here. Tommy Chong seems content with playing variations of his laid-back "Man" character.

"SIDE" NOTES--

ONE -- 1.) "Boss" take-off has an L.A. Mex/Am slant. 2.) Campus D.J. with a speech impediment argues with his board op about what records they'll broadcast on a closed-circuit radio show. 3.) Chong leaves messages during this answering machine song. 4.) Accountant from Wisconsin meets "Mr. Brownstain" at a Japanese restaurant. 5.) More college D.J. silliness. 6.) Cheech has a phone chat with an unheard girl above a very electronic music backing. 7.) Sign-off.

TWO -- 1.) Blind Melon Chitlin's cover of the Muddy Waters classic, Takes 179 and 180. / Tyrone Shoelaces (of "Basketball Jones" fame) does a fey falsetto version. 2.) Liverpool's own Ian Rotten gives a guitar lesson to an idiot who electrocutes himself on a shorted-out synthesizer. 3.) and 4.) A 5 AM phone call to the Hollywood star. 5.) "Juan Likehell, your Southern California Coyote dealer." 6.) Stupid McCupid and Early Wynn's news show leads with the music lesson tragedy. 7.) "The very first heavy metal snuff tune."

WARNING! Anybody who's seen "up in smoke" and thinks "hey, lets get some more of that excellent entertainment" - well, think again. Get Out Of My Room is poor, to say the least. Not a single decent joke, no creativity, no running-gags....
