With its DYI punk aesthetics, the video for Diddle My Skittle is a good representation of Peaches’ early work. In this one, the singer, dressed in pink shinny leggings and a t-shirt, creates a ballsack-like apparatus that she puts in her leggings before heading downtown. As she walks in the crowded streets of the city, the sack eventually breaks but Peaches keeps on dancing, her prosthetic balls falling down her legs. We can also hear Canadian folk-rock singer Feist on this track. She is credited under the pseudonym Bitch Lap Lap.
