"The Dean and I" is a song by the art rock/pop band 10cc, from their 1973 eponymous debut album, written by Lol Creme and Kevin Godley.

The first real lines of the song are "Hey, kids, let me tell you how I met your mom.

The song has been considered a parody of such sock hop songs as by Jerry Lee Lewis "High School Confidential", with the teenage romance ending in a midlife crisis and divorce.

The audio portion of a vintage mini-documentary chronicling the recording of the song in the studio was included in the limited edition 10cc box set "Tenology" in 2012.

The single released in Germany featured an alternative picture sleeve with the "balloons and bomb" logo which had been used for the album.
