Lol I mentioned that same memory, but forgot it on Lopez show. That sorta revived interest in that song. Because of cheech/chong..I always thought the artists were hispanic or pure Mexican.

I agree 100%. I play the drums/percussion(im much better at this than the other) and keyboard percussion(think like a vibraphone or xylophone) and I absolutely love the percussion in this song. Also I feel the melody is so concrete yet flexible that there could also be a marimba or vibes solo in there. Brilliant. BTW, what do you play?

I started to hum, sing along and bob my head to this song. I happened to look up a see a teacher frowning at me for digging this song. I just smiled and kept doing my thing.

Just want everyone to get along stop always bringing race into it start moving forward as the human race.

This is fascinating! In 1975, some of the cars they were using were from the 30's and 40's, which mirrors today pretty well, as far as modding cars from the late 60's and 70's. But I had no idea they put hydraulics in them that long ago. It's amazing looking at how things were different then - this is a slice of America I've never seen.

Before hydraulics, it was the family piled into a high mileage car having saggy springs.

The whole family rode along, so it was a tail dragger.
