I remember in the 90's he went on celebrity Jeopardy and all my roomates laughed at me when I predicted he'd win. And he won!

[@christopherclare6920]

Cheech Marin goes back like a boomerang! Been a huge fan since my grandparents let me watch "Up In Smoke" when I was 7

[@virtudiaries1525]

Who knew Cheech was such a music geek. Awesome.

[@juvedoo99]

He's a comedian/actor. Most are extremely artistic.

[@50ShadesOfEndo]

dingus kingus marwk Yeah all those creative, outgoing actors and comedians are definitely autistic

[@jesamani75]

Could it be because he's a musician?

[@josequiroz3571]

Duh! You never seen his movies?

[@Obsequie]

VirtuDiarie

[@louderthangod]

One of the best episodes ever. Some great choices.

Cheech knows his shit! Excellent picks! A lotta people could learn from Mr. Cheech...

[@shonuff9181]

Cheech is fucking awesome! Such a musical ear!

[@Andy-kw5nw]

I can’t believe I’m seeing this for the first time nine years later. What a 💎 of a clip.

[@bobbiysmael]

I love Marty Robbins. You have great taste in music Cheech. I love your stories.

[@Tearyatobitz]

Bobbi Ysmael “they’re hanging me tonight” is one of my favorites by him

[@christopherdavis8248]

wow, Cheech is a complete master of old music!

[@bonhamhouse1169]

Cheech, brilliant guy and very thoughtful, discerning taste.

[@callmejeffbob]

Edith Piaf, King Sunny Ade, Ofra Haza, Marty Robbins, Tom Lehrer & Buck Owens etc. Very eclectic and great selection! Hopefully this will cause folks to explore some of these artists.

[@213davidhunter]

I have watched a lot of these, and this is one of the most interesting ones!

[@donniejohnson6060]

a word of warning, mr.marin, that edith piaf is some potent stuff. 45 minutes of her greatest hits will have you up on the roof ready to make the unhappiness stop. ofra haza on the other hand, is a gift to bring light to even the most burdened of hearts

[@jamesgretsch4894]

Love King Sunny Ade. Who knew he had such good taste. Never expect that from him.

[@eggman9157]

Everyone should listen to Fifty gates of wisdom/Yemenite songs by Ofra Haza. It’s really a gem

[@Markmywords803]

What a great series this is! Only just discovered it!

[@johnran6015]

The Commitments soundtrack was the first tape I ever owned, such an odd deep cut and underrated funny movie.

[@bvaughan3862]

Cheech just impressed me even more than before, and I knew he was REALLY cool. Also, I love me some Ofra Haza.

[@ScottieJ448]

0:52, that song/singer is what they use in the movie Inception to wake the dreamers up! tripped me out, soon as I haerd it I couldn't remember where I had heard it before, finally came to me though, Inception! awsome movie btw.

[@amoeba]

+Scott Jorgensen Yeah, it's an awesome, haunting song: "Non, Je Ne Regrette Rien"

[@titaniumpecker]

Anyone else surprised that Cheech is such a big fan of Country Music? His movies with Chong still crack me up.

[@beevezeepe6615]

Why would someone be surprised by that? Do you stereotype often?

[@Gordon1990]

@@beevezeepe6615Mexican Americans don’t like to get up early but they have to so they do it real slowwwww

[@littleghostfilms3012]

He was a child singer in East LA, so music is his jam. I've had that Edith Piaf collection for years, it is PHENOMENAL!! King Sunny Ade's Juju Music is a listening experience, try that one.

[@nohabloemojislosiento4930]

I like the guy talking with Cheech. Rob had a good knowledge and actually helped the video. Some of the older vids where employees stood in they just kind of laughed, but Rob knew what was up with all of Cheech's stuff.

[@cruxofthecookie]

Agreed; added quite a bit to the video. And he was genuinely beaming the entire time.

[@bobbiysmael]

You like the same music my MOM loved. My grandmother used to listen to Webb Pierce and Kitty Wells. You know Buck is from Bakersfield. He has 4 houses that I know of there. You're awesome. Cheech. PEACE.

[@dkatomski]

I live in Bakersfield.

[@Gkuljian]

I worked with someone who lived next door to Cheech in BC. He said that one day Cheech rang his doorbell, and said "Have you seen my Ferrari?". That was the moment I knew he was living his character in real life.

[@SundayFoggyNotions]

He USED to do music for a living way WAY back, so this is just like riding a horse to him. Music is a unique journey to EVERYONE, not just celebrities.

[@nirvana182ify]

I love karen Dalton. So cool that he lived with her. Cheech is a legend.

[@roadlesswandering]

Really liked the variety of his selection. Some hits I have never heard before.

[@pookiemartinez3909]

Ofra Haza since 1988.. RIP

[@mekurri2007]

Thanks Cheech, been after this for ages had no idea the name Im Nin'Alu - Ofra Haza

[@steffe689]

Damn lived with karen dalton, she is awesome.. The song katie cruel is my favorite.

[@altohippiegabber]

look at the date this video was uploaded! perfection!

[@hyperboreanrites9577]

1 minute in and already piaf and king sunny ade! great artists

[@aaronsoto9100]

No one expected such sophisticated taste and knowledge from Cheech, I'm really impress!!

[@CindyBarg]

Thanks Cheech ❤️💖🧡💙💛💚💗💜

[@johnfulmer4058]

Hey Cheech, Buck Owens & the Buckaroos at Carnegie Hall is a must have.

[@bryanneal7889]

[@ryanbirabent-genone9219]

This episode makes me want to hang out with Cheech SO BAD!!! What a cool dude.

[@TheDans7300]

Cheech is a true artist and his taste is a perfect example of it!

[@mikebenoit5658]

I knew the Cheech one would be interesting.

[@ammarmidani6358]

Surprised that hes a country not jazz fan. Great one love him.

[@bobbiysmael]

You know Cheech you're pretty good at music yourself. :-)

[@SinoCortez]

such a great series

[@parkerisking]

The commitments man. Love it.

[@e-rokekenedi7834]

Great seeing Cheech picking up some great classic Country. Also love the outta left-field Commitments pick.

[@mirandamirae]

"It's a very famous song that no one's ever heard of." lol

[@debrawilliams7983]

Buck Owens used to be on the show "Hee Haw" years ago!!! I watched this show until I was grown!!!

[@ernestoromero8312]

Cheech reminds me exactly of my uncles from his mannerisms to the way he describes an album to you its eerie

[@GamingPlus10]

Tom Lehrer is fantastic! I need that song book

[@solidkingcobra]

I was expecting getting high stories, but instead got schooled on some cool tunes.

[@robertcaffrey6097]

I had no idea that Cheech was such a vast musical knowledge that really "blew the socks off me"

[@SuperAdamh1]

Karen Daulton and Piaf make tons of sense together.

[@tishsmiddy71]

Thank you , Cheech

[@markobuenrostro8977]

Much love to Cheech!!

[@Villageiddyit]

Cheech Marin, what a boss!!

[@Telstar62a]

Thinking he's gonna like Webb Pierce. He was GIGANTIC in Country Music in the 1950s.....

[@6Lilies6Phillies]

Sick channel to come to find new music

[@faceofdoomness]

Just noticed this video was uploaded on 420. Noice.

[@thomasdudley4558]

Yes both of them chong was in a soul group funny course their name was the Vancouver's and cheech knew James olmos when he sang for acid rockers Pacific ocean he also played in bands

[@samsquanch4201]

Marty Robbins! Yes😁👍🏻

[@chadlovell5982]

Dudes funny, I don't know that much about her, then goes on to cite some obscure fact about Bardot. Amoeba employee. Likely knows his shit about all kinds of stuff..I'm sure that place is amazing. One day...

[@indiesindie1984]

Awesome tastes in music!

[@FallenPixel]

So glad I discovered Karen Dalton because of this....

[@AdamforPresident2.0]

Cheech is how I discovered Karen Dalton. He’s the friggin man.

[@jackedkerouac4414]

Well played, Amoeba....well played...

[@jmason61]

Who knew? Still almost spit out my adult beverage with the first clip starting off

[@landlinesandpercolators8822]

Well I knew Cheech liked "everything" ('you know man, Santana, El Chicano, Malo...everything!) but I wasn't expecting Edith Piaf out of the gate. Anyway, I don't know if Cheech has written his book yet, but if not, time to get busy!

[@alexgrissom01]

As a teen, loved his movies. But he has aged well. Seems to be a genuinely nice guy.

[@squinkque]

Fuck yeah, Cheech, I'm buyin' me some Webb Pierce.

[@ChoctawNawtic4]

He seems way kool! Had no idea he was into that kind of music! :)

[@willnichols2059]

Choctawnic *Cool spelling cool with a 'k' makes you look like a desperate adult trying super hard to be "hip" seriously... stop.. it looks incredibly stupid haha

[@Pirate7X]

Yes! A friend convinced me to go to a show in Philly and he ripped it. The women there were fine too, Cheech is right on how ladies dig King Sunny Ade. Folks "spraying", throwing money at the 13 piece band the whole shole show.

[@staffcarpenborg]

they were all great picks but the best was on the shelf - Brazilian Guitar Fuzz Bananas

[@jacobgates1986]
