I remember discovering Cheech and Chong albums in 8th grade. My friends and I would listen to all of them over and over, not getting half the jokes, but still laughing hysterically at all the voices.
When I started collecting vinyl last year, a couple of the first albums I scored were Los Cochinos and Big Bambu. (The Big Bambu I have still has the giant rolling paper in the album in perfect condition.) My girlfriend had never heard any of the classic Cheech and Chong stuff, so I played both albums for her one Sunday morning. When Basketball Jones came on I jumped on the bed and sang it word for word, then I played to over another 4 times, just so she’d get the genius of it. Sometimes she really hates when I find old records. I have never seen this animated short.
