interesting facts (click to see playlist of show on which fact was mentioned, if applicable):
• First pressings of Where There's Smoke There's Cheech y Chong have an exerpt of the end of "The Thing" by Phil Harris at the begining of this track. This is a mistake and has nothing to do with this record, other than that it preceded this track on Dr. Dememto's 30th Anniversary Collection: Dementia 2000!.
• Both parts feature "Boogie Boogie Boogie" by The Boogie Brothers playing on the radio.
• What ended up as Part I was originally intended as Part II and vice versa, but the sides were flipped when it was decided that Part II was funnier.
