Chipmunk

I was a bit surprised when Daisy Dares You came on TV the other day with Number One Enemy. It looked like the end of a brief stint of positive single reviews. The intro to the song is sung in that girly Lily Allen, bored-voice style. It's enough to put you right off, but if you'd stopped listening after the first verse, you'd have missed a great chorus.

In fact, the chorus is the selling point of Number One Enemy. The verses are virtually redundant - it's all about that upwards inflection when Daisy screams "STOP!" It doesn't take long for that chorus to burn itself into your mind - and as the song reaches its climax, it gets stronger and more listenable.

Until that Chipmunk cameo.

Sorry, but what is it about that helium-voiced plonk? "Ha ha, Mister Munk!" His rapping is pathetic, redundant and totally unwanted. Maybe the label insisted on teaming Daisy up with a 'big' name to help sell the record, but it wasn't needed. I can see how Chipmunk appeals to the demographic, but he's a total waste of space.

Newsflash! According to this Guardian feature on Daisy, Chipmunk wasn't the original rapper on the track either:
