About this listen

This week on Dem Vinyl Boyz, we spark off our 8 Weeks of Soundtrack Summer with a cult classic that’s hazy, hilarious, and downright iconic — the 1978 soundtrack to Cheech & Chong’s Up in Smoke.

More than just a stoner comedy, Up in Smoke became a cultural touchstone, ushering in the era of counterculture comedy and solidifying Cheech Marin and Tommy Chong as legends of the genre. The soundtrack captures the film’s irreverent spirit with tracks like “Up in Smoke,” “Earache My Eye,” and plenty of comedic interludes that blend music, satire, and absurdity.

In this episode, we’ll roll through how the film and its soundtrack reflected the late-70s vibe, contributed to the duo’s massive success, and left a smoky trail in music and comedy history. Whether you’re reliving your youth or discovering Cheech & Chong’s antics for the first time, this album is a must-spin for fans of comedy, rock, and soundtrack collectors alike.

So grab your headphones—and maybe some munchies—and join Dem Vinyl Boyz as we launch Soundtrack Summer with Cheech & Chong’s Up in Smoke. It’s going to be a trip!
