==Visual album==

In 1985 a 53-minute [[visual album]] was made, presented in a [[mockumentary]] style akin to ''[[This Is Spinal Tap]]'' (1984). The visual album was written and directed by [[Cheech Marin]]. In the visual album, he and [[Tommy Chong]] are shown attempting to finish a "video album" for their novelty record ''Get Out of My Room''. In between fake interview segments and [[behind-the-scenes]] footage are [[music video]]s for the songs "Get Out of My Room", "I'm Not Home Right Now", "Love Is Strange", and "[[Born in East L.A. (song)|Born in East L.A.]]"{{Citation needed|date=September 2025}} (a&nbsp;parody of [[Bruce Springsteen]]'s "[[Born in the U.S.A.

The visual album also features cameos from [[Cassandra Peterson]] (Elvira), [[Beverly D'Angelo]], [[John Paragon]], [[Mary Woronov]], Playboy Playmate [[Alana Soares]] and her sister Leilani. Patti Heid, Cheech's second wife, art-directed the videos.{{Citation needed|date=September 2025}}

In the "Get Out of My Room" music video, Cheech plays Ian Rotten, the egotistic control-freak leader of a British punk rock group, and Chong plays 'The Man', an American guitarist who plays for the group. Both have been set up in a gym to record the music video for their song. Several basketball players show up and play a game in the background, despite Rotten's complaints. The two begin to pretend to play the song (with Ian [[lip-synching]] poorly and Man failing to synch up his actions with the recording).{{Citation needed|date=September 2025}}

The song "Born in East L.A." became novelty hit and received regular airtime on [[MTV]]. "Born in East L.A." was later made into [[Born in East L.A. (film)|a film of the same name]];<ref name=":0" /> Cheech Marin wrote, directed and starred in the film, without Chong's involvement.<ref name="Marin185">Marin, Cheech.
