The visual album was written and directed by [Cheech Marin](/source/Cheech_Marin). In the visual album, he and [Tommy Chong](/source/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](/source/Behind-the-scenes) footage are [music videos](/source/Music_video) for the songs "Get Out of My Room", "I'm Not Home Right Now", "Love Is Strange", and "[Born in East L.A.](/source/Born_in_East_L.A._(song))"[*[citation needed](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Citation_needed)*] (a parody of [Bruce Springsteen](/source/Bruce_Springsteen)'s "[Born in the U.S.A.](/source/Born_in_the_U.S.A._(song))".[4] In the visual album's story, the duo find themselves overworked and over-budget in an attempt to finish the four music videos. The visual album also features cameos from [Cassandra Peterson](/source/Cassandra_Peterson) (Elvira), [Beverly D'Angelo](/source/Beverly_D'Angelo), [John Paragon](/source/John_Paragon), [Mary Woronov](/source/Mary_Woronov), Playboy Playmate [Alana Soares](/source/Alana_Soares) and her sister Leilani. Patti Heid, Cheech's second wife, art-directed the videos.[*[citation needed](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Citation_needed)*] 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](/source/Lip-synching) poorly and Man failing to synch up his actions with the recording).[*[citation needed](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Citation_needed)*] The song "Born in East L.A." became novelty hit and received regular airtime on [MTV](/source/MTV). "Born in East L.A." was later made into [a film of the same name](/source/Born_in_East_L.A._(film));[4] Cheech Marin wrote, directed and starred in the film, without Chong's involvement.[5] *Get Out of My Room* was released on [DVD](/source/DVD) in the United Kingdom, but not in the United States, where it was only available on [VHS](/source/VHS). The LP remained unavailable on [compact disc](/source/Compact_disc) until 2002.[6] The visual album was released in the U.S. on DVD in the *Cheech and Chong Midnight Munchies Pack* with *[Cheech and Chong's Next Movie](/source/Cheech_and_Chong's_Next_Movie)* and *[Born in East L.A.](/source/Born_in_East_L.A._(film))* on October 13, 2015.[*[citation needed](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Citation_needed)*] ## Charts Chart (1985) Peak position Australia (Kent Music Report)[7] 96 ## References 1. **[^](#cite_ref-1)** [Get Out of My Room](https://www.allmusic.com/album/r265239) at [AllMusic](/source/AllMusic_(identifier)) 1. **[^](#cite_ref-2)** ["The Hot 100 Chart"](https://www.billboard.com/charts/hot-100/1985-10-11). *[Billboard](/source/Billboard_(magazine))*. 11 October 1985. 1. **[^](#cite_ref-3)** ["Cheech & Chong - I'm Not Home Right Now"](https://www.discogs.com/release/5370821-Cheech-Chong-Im-Not-Home-Right-Now), *[Discogs](/source/Discogs)*, retrieved 2025-09-28 1. ^ [***a***](#cite_ref-:0_4-0) [***b***](#cite_ref-:0_4-1) ["Cheech & Chong – Get Out of My Room"](https://review-o-matic.com/cheech-chong-get-out-of-my-room/). *Review-O-Matic*.
