I am a white Englishman but this video makes me proud to be a Mexican born in East L.A.

God, I love and miss the 80's so much

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 KZread!!!...

I was born in downtown S.A. (San Antonio). Cheech reminds me of about 1/2 of my friends growing up...

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".

That song is hilarious. Cheech is one of the funniest guys in comedy.

EVIRA!!!! I loved that scene... xP

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.

Ah, from back in the days when MTV played Music Videos!

Picking up Elvira was just the icing on the cake.

It sucked after Reagan gave us crack and aids.

I'm a white guy but this song is just soooooo damn rocking.

Born in East LA is one of the best movies was made in the 80'.

Child hood memories they were a blast man

I love that song!

Martha Quinn at the end. God, i miss mtv from 1982-89

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.

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

BADASSS!

His facial expressions crack me up!

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.

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.

Brenda venus at the beginning is beautiful!!!!

Yes 20 years ago it did.

Very good

Awesome. Funny too.

badass video chale

yeeaah realy nice vid))) making me smile )))

Still funny after all these years. Is that Jan Michael Vincent playing the immigration officer?

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.

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

best cover song ever

It's all about East Los!

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!

video is funny like it, question who had a better voice Cheech or Sonny bono👍😎.

Sure is :)

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.

2:45 freakin funny!!!

Hiw did I miss this from my ch an ch days.

HI THIS IS ME BOBBY. WHEN I DO REMEMBER I WATCHED ON MOVIE NAME THE IS "BORN IN EAST L.A",CAUSE THEY ACT A FUNNY MAKE ME LAUGH I LIKE IT..

ALL music videos should have a gratuitous Elvira appearence!

Big Bambu 4 ever

amor da minha vida elvira

Illegal? I'm from East L.A., man!

AHA!!! Thats how theyre getting in, a manhole in east LA! Should really get that covered...

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.

I forgot the Was Sappening guys from the movie made an appearance in the video

That's ELVIRA!

I was booooorn in EAST LA (Montebello)

he asked bruce springsteen for permission bruce said yeh man be great

SINCE 1985

Haha, I like this song...

he is jesus in the movie

Cheech & Chong はわしをアメリカ大好きにしてくれたコンビです(^^)v

Cheech and Chong Born in East LA

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.

I remember a cop pull me over I forgot my ID and ask me were I live I say east La lol
