Description

“Cosmic Girl” is the second single from British funk/acid jazz band Jamiroquai‘s third studio album, Travelling Without Moving, released on 11 November 1996 on Sony Soho Square in the United Kingdom and 17 January 1997 on Sony Music/Work Group in the United States. The song achieved great chart success, peaking at number 6 on the UK Singles Chart. It also peaked at number 3 in Italy, number 4 in Iceland and number 10 in Finland. The B-side to the single was an instrumental, “Slipin’ ‘N’ Slidin'”,^[1] a rather obscure song originating from another old Jamiroquai tune called “Mr Boogie”, which was a live-only song. “Slipin ‘N’ Slidin'”, just like “Mr Boogie”, also had a vocal version.

The song appeared in MTV animated series Daria in the episode “This Year’s Model”. “Cosmic Girl” later appeared in the 2000 movie Center Stage and the game SingStar Dance.
