I wouldn't usually call Wikipedia an inspirational site, but I was looking up info the other day on an old animated video clip for a 1974 song called Basketball Jones.

If you know the song, proceed. If not, look it up on Youtube first http://au.youtube.com/watch?v=JIbp5C-5WXM

I vaguely knew it was written by Cheech and Chong (of Up In Smoke fame), but I was unaware of the start studded ensemble that actually recorded it!

I won't give away the secrets here, by check out the song credits at http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Basketball_Jones

Guitar by ...
Bass by ...
Electric Piano by ...
And how about that backup trio?
Geez, even the piano player ...

Not to mention Cheech making the song up originally with Jack Nicholson while they were in a traffic jam on the way to a basketball game.
