Get Out of My Room video

In 1985 a 53-minute film was made. Get Out of My Room was presented in a mockumentary style akin to

Alana Soares
and her sister Leilani Soares.

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

poorly and Man failing to synch up his actions with the recording). Patti Heid, Cheech's 2nd wife art directed the videos.

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 a film of the same name, Cheech Marin wrote, directed and starred in the film.

Get Out of My Room was released on DVD in the United Kingdom, but not in the United States, where it was only available on VHS. The album remained unavailable on compact disc until it was finally re-released in 2002. The movie was finally released in the United States on DVD in the Cheech and Chong Midnight Munchies Pack with Cheech and Chong's Next Movie and Born in East L.A. on October 13, 2015.
