"Kelly Watch the Stars" (also written "Kelly, Watch the Stars!") is a song by Air, from their debut studio album Moon Safari.

Critical reception

The song was well received by music critics. AllMusic called the song "accessible pop."[1] Drum 'n' Bass: The Rough Guide described the song as "retro-electronics".[2] The song was also included in the book 1001 Albums You Must Hear Before You Die.[3]

Chart performance

The song was commercially successful in the UK, entering the UK Singles Chart at number 18 on the chart dated 16 May 1998 and spending a total of three weeks in the top 50.[4] The song remains their second-biggest hit in the UK.[4]

Music video

The music video, directed by Mike Mills,[5] drew attention due to its surreal concept.[3] It depicts a girl named Kelly playing table tennis. She is knocked unconscious, and floats into the night sky. She eventually regains consciousness, and continues to play, eventually winning the table tennis match.[6]

Live performances and media usage

The group performed the song on Jimmy Kimmel Live! in 2016, to promote the release of their retrospective collection Twentyears.[7][8]

A remix of the song was featured on the soundtrack for the 1999 film Splendor.[9] The song was also featured on the 2012 electronica retrospective collection "Electrospective".[10] The song was also featured in an episode of TV shows Daria and Back in Time for Dinner.[11]
