"'''Earache My Eye'''" is a song by [[Cheech and Chong]] which "features" Alice Bowie (one of [[Cheech Marin]]'s characters. It is featured on ''[[Cheech & Chong's Wedding Album]]'' ([[1974]]) as well as their ''[[Greatest Hit]]'' album from [[1981]] and their ''[[Where There's Smoke There's Cheech & Chong]]'' double-CD anthology from [[2002]]. Cheech And Chong also [[lip sync]] to the recording (with Chong behind the drum kit instead of guitar, which he played on the original recording) in their first movie ''[[Up in Smoke]]'' ([[1978]]). The musical portion of this piece has been covered by bands like [[Rollins Band]], [[Scatterbrain]], [[KoЯn]] and [[Soundgarden]]. This piece is considered to be one of the greatest novelty audio pieces of all time, and has been featured repeatedly on the [[Doctor Demento]] radio program.
 
In the routine, [[Tommy Chong]] plays a punk high school student with an attitude. At the beginning of the piece he's snoring. We hear an alarm clock, and then Chong wakes up noisily. He starts up a record of mainstream metal rock with Cheech Marin singing the lyrics as if he were an [[Alice Cooper]] clone.
