"I Am the Future" is a 1982 song by American rock musician Alice Cooper recorded for the 1982 film Class of 1984.[2] The song was one of two singles released from his seventh solo studio album Zipper Catches Skin (1982). The single did not chart, and despite the advent of MTV at the time a promotional video was not created for it.
The song was produced by Steve Tyrell, and written by Gary Osborne and Lalo Schifrin.
The 1982 US single featured the remix version of "I Am the Future"[3] and had "Tag, You're It" as its B-side. The international single releases had "Zorro's Ascent" as its B-side and featured the album version of "I Am the Future" with exception to the UK single, released in March 1983, which featured the remix version of the song. Like "I Am the Future", both B-sides are also featured on the Zipper Catches Skin album. The remix version of "I Am the Future" was eventually included in 1999's The Life and Crimes of Alice Cooper box set.
