"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.
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 ]
The song was re-recorded in Simlish for the video game, The Sims 3:Ambitions . [2]
