Kelly Watch the Stars

The second single from Moon Safari, released on 4 May 1998, entered the UK chart at 18 on the chart dated 16 May and spent three weeks in the top 50. It remains Air's second highest-peaking UK single. Godin said it was about Kelly Garrett, the Charlie's Angels character played by Jaclyn Smith, with whom he and Dunckel were in love as boys. In 2019 he called it a silly song, but said you need silly songs to make good records. Its only lyric is the title. Dunckel said that unlike American or British bands they were not always thinking verse and chorus, and that singing in English made them sound even more French because of their thick accents. Marlon plays drums.

The video, directed by Mike Mills, shows a girl named Kelly playing table tennis. She is knocked unconscious and floats into the night sky, then wakes, carries on and wins, while the members of Air appear to simulate her match by playing Pong on a television. The names on the scorecards are Kelly and Smith. The Moog Cookbook remixed it, and a version of 5:40 appears on the tenth anniversary edition of the album. Pitchfork's reviewer of that edition called the live version on its bonus disc horrible and thrashy.

Live and elsewhere

The band played it on Jimmy Kimmel Live! in 2016 to promote Twentyears. It appears in 284 of the 332 logged setlists that list songs, from a Canal+ appearance in June 1998 on. A remix was on the soundtrack of the 1999 film Splendor, and the song has been used in the television shows Daria and Back in Time for Dinner and as the title music of the Arte programme Invitation au Voyage.
