"Toxic Girl" is a single by the Norwegian indie rock duo Kings of Convenience. It was released in 2001, and peaked at 44 on the UK singles chart.[1] It was released in three formats in the United Kingdom by Astralwerks.
The song gained some exposure in the United States in 2002 when it was used in a television commercial for AT&T Wireless.[2] The song was also used in the movie Shallow Hal when Hal first sees Rosemary.[3][4] The song was also considered for the soundtrack to 500 Days of Summer, but was rejected because the song tracked the plot of the movie too well.[5]
