Cheech and Chong’s “Basketball Jones” Featuring George Harrison, Billy Preston, and Carole King
Cheech and Chong’s “Basketball Jones featuring Tyrone Shoelaces” first appeared on the 1973 album Los Cochinos. The songs opening lyric, “basketball jones, I got a basketball jones”, references “jones” as slang for craving or addiction. A “basketball jones” thus refers to loving basketball so much that it overtakes all other thoughts.
Sung in falsetto by Cheech Marin, playing the title character Tyrone (as in “tie-your-own”) Shoelaces, musicians who appeared on the record included George Harrison, Billy Preston, Tom Scott, and Carole King (so the record became the highest peaking single on which she appeared during 1973). The Blossoms and Michelle Phillips (from The Mamas & the Papas) performed vocals as cheerleaders on the track.
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).

Dickie Goodman’s “Mr. Jaws” from 1975. This novelty hit based on the movie that reached #4 on the Billboard charts.
“Mr. Jaws” by Dickie Goodman was released on Cash Records in 1975. And yes, I bought it.
This record is a parody of the 1975 summer blockbuster film Jaws, with Goodman interviewing the shark – whom he calls “Mr. Jaws” – as well as the film’s main characters, Brody, Hooper, and Quint. Goodman makes full use of his practice of “break-in” music sampling, in which all of the interview answers are lyrics from popular songs from that year.
The single peaked at #4 on the Billboard Hot 100 in October 1975. On the Cash Box Top 100 it fared even better, reaching #1.
