"Number One Enemy" is the debut single from British singer Daisy Dares You. The single features Chipmunk, and was released on 1 March 2010. The song peaked at number 13, it make her only charting single to date.
Music video[]
A music video is available for the song.[1] The video features Daisy dancing around a colourfully decorated garden, and later features her dancing around a decorated stairwell. During his verse, Chipmunk is seen sat at a long wooden table, in which Daisy is stood dancing behind him. Various odd objects appear throughout the video, including a giant cupcake and rainbow-coloured sheep. The video seems to be inspired in parts by Lewis Carroll's Alice's Adventures in Wonderland and Through the Looking-Glass and What Alice Found There, as seen by Daisy holding a pig, the long table (reminiscent of the tea party table) and Chipmunk holding a hat similar to the Mad Hatter's. We also see Daisy encountering a white rabbit and following it down a rabbit hole at the start, a small bottle reading "Drink Me", signs saying "This Way" and "That Way", a small house (reminiscent of when Alice grows larger whilst inside the White Rabbit's house) and oversized or just plain out-of-the-ordinary objects and surroundings.[citation needed]
In popular culture[]
The song was re-recorded in Simlish for the video game, The Sims 3: Ambitions.[citation needed]
