"'Don't Be My Enemy'" is a single by Wang Chung. It was the first single from the album 'Points on the Curve' in the UK, where it reached #92 in late 1983. In the US, it was released as the third single from the album, and reached #86 on the U.S. 'Billboard' Hot 100 in late 1984.
Music video
The video was directed by Dan Kleinman in 1984 and revolves around a female stage magician (portrayed by Susan Olar) who uses the band, performing the song, as subjects for her magic tricks, disappearing them or sawing them in half. In an attempt to defend himself, Jack Hues violently shakes the woman, but finds himself tricked into wrestling a mannequin. As the band performs the end of the song, the woman prepares to deal another blow, but notices the viewer and redirects her attack, ending the video.
