"'Me Myself and I'" is a song by American hip hop trio De La Soul, released as a single in 1989 from their debut studio album '3 Feet High and Rising'. It was the group's only number one on the U.S. R&B chart. The song also topped the U.S. Club Play chart.[http://www.songfacts.com/detail.php?id=16049 Me Myself and I Songfacts]

The song's number 1 position in The Netherlands was spurred by the VPRO television station, who made a documentary about De La Soul after meeting them when they were still unknown.Stichting Nederlandse Top 40, 500 nr.1 hits uit de Top 40, page 262, 9023009444 (Book in Dutch) The record label Indisc acquired the local rights from Tommy Boy Records, and immediately seized the opportunity to release the song as a single. It ranked number 46 on VH1's 100 Greatest Songs of Hip Hop.
