[edit] Trivia

• The Cosmic Girl video has 4 similar, yet differing versions (Versions 1-3 and the so called 'Jay's cut' version).
• Cosmic Girl was played in the movie Center Stage.
• Cosmic Girl was a playable song in the European version of the video game Donkey Konga.
• Before filming the music video, Jays' Lamborghini Diablo had to be shipped overseas for the video shoot. Apparently, the company which was hired to transport the car back home had a driver that was keen to drive the car. Jay let the guy drive the car, but he smashed it, with a cost of around $239,000. The car that appears in the video was rented to some collectionist who was near the area.
• While filming the music video, the driver's side window in Jay Kay's Lamborghini was accidentally smashed. Due to the tight timescales involved, the video was still shot, but with the window removed. This is why Jay Kay appears to be driving around the desert late at night with his windows down.
