"Arsenal Number One" was a single released by the English football team Arsenal, as a double A-side with "Our Goal", in 2000. It reached number 46 in the UK Singles Chart.[1]

"Arsenal Number One" was adapted from Lou Bega's "Mambo No. 5." Additional lyrics were written by David Dein and Geoff Morrow.[2] Like other Arsenal singles, the lyrics include quippy lines about Arsenal's first-team squad.

"Our Goal" featured Finbar Wright and Ian Wright (no relation), the latter of whom narrates a history of Arsenal in the middle of the song.[2]
