Goodies & Info

The live version of Clint Eastwood on CD1 is taken from the band's "Demon Detour" of US radio stations in June 2005. People is an original version of DARE, with vocals recorded by 2D. Continuing the trend of past singles, the DARE DVD contains the animatic so that fans can get an insight into how the video developed.

Charts

DARE became the first Gorillaz single to hit the summit of the UK singles chart, deposing Oasis' "The Importance Of Being Idle" to enter at #1 on the 4th September 2005. Its run at the top lasted just a week as it was knocked off by The Pussycat Dolls the following Sunday.

What They Said

"To say that people love the single is something of an understatement. 'Dare' surely has to go down as the most universally praised single of the year." - Launch
"In our eyes it's the stand-out track from the album." - MixMag
"One of the highlights of the number one album Demon Days which should have no trouble echoing its predecessor (Feel Good Inc)'s chart achievements." - Music Week
"Give in to the sinister, zombie harmonies and be sure to master Noodle's dance routine, because this tune is going to be huge." - The Observer
