I can't believe this wasn't added on the Born in East L.A. DVD. They should really consider re-releasing it & add the extended version,along with the music video.
I remember being 7 when my sister recorded this on Friday Night Videos. My boomer Dad and we kids would watch this together and laugh. (Elvira was the cherry on top.)
I grew up w/ these guys, as well. My dad used to listen to them on 8 track. Yes, I said 8 track. I'm not proud to admit that I'm old enough to remember them so vividly, but facts are facts. I'm over 30 and under 40.
I was also born in Los Angeles, but it wasn't East L.A. Great video, I love it. He used the tune from Born in the USA, which Bruce Springsteen encouraged; and he spoofed 'I Love L.A.' by Randy Newman as well.
Damn good! I was lost in south L.A. last year, Inglewood to be exact. Went into a liqour-store 8 o'clock saturday evening and got comments like "what the hell, white guys in the hood?!?" Did my shoppin' in no time!!! :o)
my computers been crashed for 24 hours and ive been jonesesing for this song. VIva East L.A and its favourite son senor cheech marin. the only man who makes nash bridges look tall.
this song makes me laugh. i see this every other month on the movie channels & it seems as if sometimes they edit out 30 minutes of the film & sometimes it is 2 hours, then 90 minutes. either way, a good film
I know this is a REALLY old post and you might've already figured this out, but there's two versions of the film. There's the original version and the extended version. The extended version is the TV version. You can also find the extended version on Blu Ray.
I really like it at 3:30 when Cheech picks up Elvira. That is the best! You know, in our post-9/11 world, It does not matter WHAT race or origin you are. If you do not have identification, proof of home address, and other valid resident (or work permit) verification, US authorities of ANY type will detain you! Even in you were not doing anything bad AT ALL, if they have questionable feelings about you in ANY way, they WILL detain you, bring you in, or take you to jail. The authorities might later not give you any charges, but they WILL take you for anything they are "not sure about". Even I am a US Veteran, a US Citizen, have residence, valid ID, voters card, and NO criminal history. And FIVE TIMES, police have detained me for doing absolutely nothing!
Exactly! They fuck with everybody! Especially if you LOOK anything different than white...when it starts to get bad enough, I hope people will finally start understand the police force better and do something about it!
They want my papers, get a warrant...try to detain without probable cause and I will as is my right defend my self and their widows will get the bill for my medical expenses and any and all ammunition I use. :) Take your gestopo worship and shove it where the sun don't shine.I only have ID when driving...that's it. I don't have show 'papers' to nobody for no reason. I've lived in boston, central texas, Ok (buncha thick necked fools) Tacoma. And I hang out with the 'wrong' people, ride motorcycles and have loud dogs. Guns to, heck most morning I take one to work.
Tommy Chong is not the immigration officer. As an earlier poster said it looks like Jan Michael Vincent, but the voice could either be Cheech or Chong. I believe this came out before the movie. When I was a kid I remember my dad having one of Cheech & Chong's comedy tapes and this song was on there along with many other funny skits and songs.
It was Chong doing the Immigration Man's voice. Vincent was probably doing "Airwolf" at the time. C&C were starting to go thier separate ways, and although this video was part of a mockumentary plugging a C&C LP, essentially it is a Cheech Marin production.

Picking up Elvira was just the icing on the cake.
Don't forget her two very prominent passengers.
Ah, from back in the days when MTV played Music Videos!
so the legend is true. the M in MTV did stand for music!
Of course it does it's called music television

I was born in downtown S.A. (San Antonio). Cheech reminds me of about 1/2 of my friends growing up...
I am 68 years young and I still love cheech and chong watched them all day on 420 had a blast
I fell in love with this movie back in the 80's...AND JUST NOW IN 2012 am I finding this video...Dam, I love TH-cam!!!...
That song is hilarious. Cheech is one of the funniest guys in comedy.
EVIRA!!!! I loved that scene... xP
I saw these guys last night at the Dallas Majestic Hall, I'm so glad I went these guys still have it. "Daves not here man".
Who knew Cheech was jacked? 💪🏽
He makes East Los Angeles so cool. I want to be born from there, too!
It sucked after Reagan gave us crack and aids.
Child hood memories they were a blast man
I'm a white guy but this song is just soooooo damn rocking.
I loved this since it came out in '87 ...2:10 when the Mariachi band kicks in!!! excellent!
Boy I miss Cheech! He was so funny! Great video!💕
I miss them doing movies too , but he and chong are still alive
fucking love his movies. grew up watching them all
I grew up w/ these guys, as well. My dad used to listen to them on 8 track. Yes, I said 8 track. I'm not proud to admit that I'm old enough to remember them so vividly, but facts are facts. I'm over 30 and under 40.

Aging is not a thing to be ashamed of. Its inevitable and happens to us all.
Born in East LA is one of the best movies was made in the 80'.

Martha Quinn at the end. God, i miss mtv from 1982-89
I was also born in Los Angeles, but it wasn't East L.A.
Great video, I love it. He used the tune from Born in the USA, which Bruce Springsteen encouraged; and he spoofed 'I Love L.A.' by Randy Newman as well.
WheresMyKoppy haha haha ya

If he had a drivers license this song would not exist
Damn good! I was lost in south L.A. last year, Inglewood to be exact. Went into a liqour-store 8 o'clock saturday evening and got comments like "what the hell, white guys in the hood?!?" Did my shoppin' in no time!!! :o)

How many people realize that the woman in the blue dress dancing next to Cheech starting at around 4:16 is Cassandra (Elvira) Peterson out of costume.
JW G I saw some pixels that looked like her but, I wasn’t sure
❤ and then some hello
Love Cheach and Dying was a dream for a girl from the NW Lived and loved the Humor since 72 Thanks for the Memories.... I was 12
The funniest !!Amazing... adoro chech & chong !!!! os caras são du caralho !!x
Yes 20 years ago it did.

The movie was written & directed by Cheech. He probably just expanded on the idea of the song into the movie.
