Get Out of My Room is an album and short-form video featuring comedians Cheech & Chong, released in 1985. The album and video marked the last release by the longtime comedy duo, with Cheech leaving in 1986 in order to focus on his mainstream acting career. The opening track "Born In East L.A." and "I'm Not Home Right Now" were the only singles released for the album.
The video was very different from the album. A 53-minute film, Get Out of My Room, was a mockumentary in the style of This Is Spinal Tap, written and directed by Cheech Marin. In the film, 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, we are shown music videos for the songs "Get Out of My Room", "I'm Not Home Right Now", "Love Is Strange", and "Born in East L.A.". In the video's story, the duo find themselves overworked and over-budget in an attempt to finish the four music videos featured in the film. The video also features lively cameos from Cassandra Peterson (Elvira, Mistress of the Dark), Beverly D'Angelo, John Paragon, Evelyn Guerrero (who played "Donna" in three of their previous films), Playboy Playmate 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 (Ian lip-synching badly, and Man not even trying to synch up his actions with the recording). The special effects work poorly, Ian's costume looks ridiculous, and Man is too busy paying attention to the female gymnasts to even try to make the video look good. Patti Heid, Cheech's 2nd wife art directed the videos.
