It was released on 31 July 1995 on CD, a 7" vinyl, and as a cassette.[1] "Girl from Mars" was Ash's first Top 40 single, reaching number 11 on the UK Singles Chart,[2] number 16 on the Irish Singles Chart,[3] and the first single to bring the band to mainstream prominence. The song was written by Tim Wheeler when he was sixteen, and was played by the band on their first Top of the Pops appearance two weeks after their A-level exams.[4] The song is also found on the greatest hits collection "Intergalactic Sonic 7″s", the soundtrack to the television program Gilmore Girls "Our Little Corner of the World", and live versions can be found on their "Live at the Wireless" album, "Tokyo Blitz" DVD and "Numbskull" EP. The track has been used by NASA as the hold music on their telephone lines.[5] Music videoTwo different videos exists for the single. The first, the UK promo video, was directed by Peter Christopherson and is described {{Citation needed|date=October 2011}} by the band as a "cross between 'Give It Away' by the Red Hot Chili Peppers and the 'Natrel Plus' TV ad". The band (especially drummer Rick McMurray) hated the video so much that when the time came to release the song in America, they re-filmed it. Directed by Jesse Peretz (who also directed Foo Fighters's "Big Me" video), the video sees Ash playing the song as part of an art exhibition, and mesmerizing a small girl watching the band.
