Did You Know?

Interesting facts and trivia about I'm the One - 2015 Remaster. By Songfacts®.

A track from Van Halen's first album, "I'm The One" is a great introduction to the band, with David Lee Roth spelling it out in the first line: "We came here to entertain you." The exuberant track is driven by Eddie Van Halen's guitar, giving us an early listen to his unique tone.

A version by 4 Non Blondes appeared in the 1994 movie Airheads in a scene where the main characters take over a radio station. Linda Perry, who has gone on to write songs for Pink and Christina Aguilera, was lead singer of the group. She is very good at singing like male rock singers, and a lot of people had no idea the version in Airheads wasn't Van Halen. Perry did a convincing Robert Plant when 4 Non Blondes recorded "Misty Mountain Hop" for the Led Zeppelin tribute album Encomium.

Alex Van Halen used a double-kick drum on this song - something he also did on "Hot For Teacher." When 4 Non Blondes recorded it, their drummer, Dawn Richardson, learned how to use a double-kick three days before they recorded it.
