- Basketball_Jones_featuring_Tyrone_Shoelaces abstract "\"Basketball Jones featuring Tyrone Shoelaces\" is a song by Cheech and Chong that first appeared on the 1973 album Los Cochinos.Sung in falsetto by Cheech Marin, playing the title character Tyrone (as in \"tie-your-own\") Shoelaces, it tells the story of Shoelaces' love of basketball. It is a parody of the song \"Love Jones\" by Brighter Side of Darkness. In the album version, the song is preceded by a mock interview with Jones' basketball coach named \"Umgwana Kickbooti,\" in a parody of a Wide World of Sports interview conducted by a character named \"Red Blazer.\" \"Jones\" is slang for \"craving\" or \"addiction.\" A \"Basketball Jones\" would thus refer to loving basketball so much that it overtakes all other thoughts.Musicians who appeared on the record included George Harrison, Carole King, Billy Preston, and Tom Scott. The Blossoms and Michelle Phillips (from The Mamas & the Papas) performed vocals as cheerleaders on the track.The song was released as a single in September 1973 and reached #15 on the Hot 100, becoming the only spoof to peak higher than the corresponding original. It was backed with \"Don't Bug Me\", also from Los Cochinos. To coincide with the graffiti artwork from the album's cover, both sides of the single feature the Ode label covered with graffiti.Some notes on the recording of the track, taken from the accompanying booklet to \"Where There's Smoke, There's Cheech & Chong\": ... Cheech sings, and Tommy plays piano-that's all it was at first. In Cheech's words, \"George Harrison and those guys were in the next studio recording, and so Lou (Adler) just ran over there and played (it for him). They made up the track right on the spot.\" \"That was a wild session,\" Lou Adler recalls. \"I probably called Carole (King) and told her to come down, but with Harrison and (Klaus) Voorman- I didn't call and say come in and play. Everyone happened to be in the A&M studios at that particular time, doing different projects. It was spilling out of the studio into the corridors.\" Other members of the ad-hoc all-stars included Nicky Hopkins (piano), Tom Scott (sax), Billy Preston (organ), Jimmy Karstein (drums) and Jim Keltner (percussion).The song was covered by Barry White and Chris Rock in the 1996 film Space Jam. Rock performed the higher-pitched vocals and shouted lines.The song is featured in a 2008 commercial for the Television Series House of Payne, and the season 22 episode of The Simpsons A Midsummer's Nice Dream.".
