Come to Daddy

Come to Daddy was released as a single through Warp on 6 October 1997, alongside a double EP of the same name. James has said it began while he was at home making a crappy death metal jingle, and that the joke grew into something huge that was not right at all. It has been read as a parody of the Prodigy's Firestarter. He later claimed he took the record out of circulation for a week hoping to stop it reaching number one. It peaked at number 36 on the UK Singles Chart, and NME made it Single of the Week.

The video was directed by Chris Cunningham and shot on the Thamesmead estate. In it an old woman's dog urinates on a discarded television, which sputters to life with a warping image of James, and a gang of children wearing his grinning face runs wild. Pitchfork named it the number one video of the 1990s, and it won the Golden Nica in the Digital Musics category at Prix Ars Electronica in 1999.

The Dillinger Escape Plan covered the song with Mike Patton on vocals on their 2002 EP Irony Is a Dead Scene. The Guardian's Geeta Dayal singled out the EP's closing track, IZ-US, as a gorgeous, sombre closer after the frenetic tracks before it.
