According to the DARE Songfacts, the song features the former Happy Mondays frontman Shaun Ryder. The main vocalist is Noodle (in reality the vocals are provided by back up singer Rosie Wilson).
The song ends with the same crowd sample as Daft Punk's Revolution 909 starts with. Read more on Last.fm.

[Intro: Shaun Ryder & Noodle]
It's coming up, it's coming up
It's coming up, it's coming up
It's coming up, it's coming up
It's dare (Uh)
It's dare (Oh-oh-oh)
[Chorus: Noodle & 2D]
You've got to press it on you
You've just been thinking
That's what you do, baby (Oh-oh-oh)
Hold it down, dare
Jump with them all and move it
Jump back and forth
And feel like you were there yourself (Oh-oh-oh)
Work it out
[Post-Chorus: Shaun Ryder & Noodle]
Never did no harm, never did no harm
It's dare
It's coming up, it's coming up
It's coming up, it's coming up
It's coming up
It's dare (Uh)
It's dare (Oh-oh-oh)
[Chorus: Noodle, 2D & with Shaun Ryder]
You've got to press it on you
You've just been thinking
That's what you do, baby (Oh-oh-oh)
Hold it down, dare
Jump with them all and move it
Jump back and forth
And feel like you were there yourself (Oh-oh-oh)
Work it out
[Post-Chorus: Shaun Ryder & Noodle]
Never did no harm, never did no harm
It's dare
It's coming up, it's coming up
It's coming up, it's coming up
It's coming up
It's dare
Never did no harm, never did no harm
It's dare
It's coming up, it's coming up
It's coming up, it's coming up
It's coming up
It's dare (Uh)
[Chorus: Noodle, 2D & with Shaun Ryder]
You've got to press it on you
You've just been thinking
That's what you do, baby (Oh-oh-oh)
Hold it down, dare
Jump with them all and move it
Jump back and forth
And feel like you were there yourself (Oh-oh-oh)
Work it out
You've got to press it on you
You've just been thinking
That's what you do, baby (Oh-oh-oh)
Hold it down, dare
Jump with them all and move it
Jump back and forth
And feel like you were there yourself (Oh-oh-oh)
Work it out
