I'm the Man is the second EP by American metal band Anthrax, released in 1987 by Megaforce Worldwide/Island Records (although the song was supposedly written three years before).
[4] The band, along with Eddie Kramer and Paul Hammingson, produced the EP, which includes the single "I'm the Man".
A new version titled "I'm the Man '91" would appear on the 1991 b-sides collection Attack of the Killer B's The beginning of "I'm the Man" features an electric guitar riff of the Jewish folk song "Hava Nagila", which can also be heard in the chorus.
The chorus' lyrics are borrowed from one of Taylor Negron's lines in the Rodney Dangerfield film Easy Money.
A few times after "I'm The Man" is said, a sample of "shut up" from Run-DMC's "You Talk Too Much" from the 1985 album King of Rock can be heard.
