"Cool Places" is a 1983 new wave song recorded by American pop duo Sparks in collaboration with the Go-Go's rhythm guitarist and backing vocalist Jane Wiedlin.[1] It was their second single to enter the Billboard Hot 100.[2]
The song was released as the lead single from Sparks's twelfth studio album In Outer Space (1983). At the time, Sparks were at their most popular in the US, their two previous studio albums having dented the lower reaches of the Billboard 200 album chart. The single peaked at No. 13 on the Hot Dance Club Play charts in June 1983.[3] The song's success followed the success of their previous single and only other Hot 100 entry "I Predict".
A music video for the song was directed by California born screenwriter and film director Graeme Whifler.
Sparks recorded "Lucky Me, Lucky You" with Jane Wiedlin for the same parent album.[4]
