[edit] Song information

Peter André in the video for Mysterious Girl

The video to Mysterious Girl was shot in Phi Phi Leh Island in Thailand. The majority of the video features Andre bare chested which led to him gaining the reputation of having a prominent six pack abdomen.

The single has the unusual situation of being released three times in the United Kingdom. Its 1995 release only managed to hit #53 on the charts, while it hit #1 and #8 on the Australian and New Zealand charts respectively. A 1996 re-release peaked at #2 in June, being kept off the top by Killing Me Softly by the Fugees. Following a lengthy campaign on The Chris Moyles Show in 2003/2004^[1] and Andre's appearance on UK reality show I'm a Celebrity, Get Me Out of Here! the song was re-released reaching number one in February 2004.

In contrast to Andre's continuing celebrity status, Bubbler Ranx has had a much lower profile, and was last heard of in March 2004 working for Carphone Warehouse in Lewisham^[2], having been excluded from promotion of the record re-release.
