I'm the One

About I'm the One

"I'm the One" is a song by the American punk rock band the Descendents, released as the first single from their 1996 album Everything Sucks. The single also includes "Everything Sux" from the album and the B-side tracks "Lucky" and "Shattered Milo" from the album sessions. The music video for "I'm the One" was directed by Dave Robinson. It depicts the band members visiting a sperm bank in order to make a sperm donation, and skateboarding down a street while wearing white costumes resembling sperm, interspersed with black-and-white footage of the band performing the song in concert. Singer Milo Aukerman later remarked that the concept was Robinson's: "He kinda took the idea of 'I'm the One' to mean 'I'm gonna be your sperm, baby.' When he told me the idea I thought, 'Oh no, shades of Woody Allen!', but when I got on that skateboard in that sperm costume, I don't know, things just started to work for me. Don't forget, we spend a lot of our time being incredibly stupid and silly." more »

[Chorus]
I'm the one
I've been here for you all along
I'm the one
Whose shoulder you've been cryin' on

Nice guys finish last
No one knows as good as me
We're just good friends
And you come to me for sympathy
And tell me that I'm not your type
Still you call me late at night
Every time he picks a fight
After all he's said and all he's done

[Chorus]

He's a total dick
That's the truth and you know I'm right
From everything you say
There's no way he'll ever do you right
You love a man who treats you wrong
You think you'll change him
But you're wrong
He'll use you, he'll say so long
After all he's said and all he's done

[Chorus]

I'm the one
Who wants you more than anything
You don't feel the same way
You made it clear to me
But I'll stand my ground
And maybe you'll hear what I've been sayin'
After all I've said and all I've done

[Chorus]

In 1980 they enlisted Stevenson's old school friend Milo Aukerman as a singer, and reappeared as a punk band, becoming a major player in the hardcore scene developing in Los Angeles at the time. Their first release with Aukerman, 1981's Fat EP, was a furious six-minute barrage of teen angst and humour. Their d… more »
