"Real Cool World" is a song from the soundtrack of the film Cool World, performed by David Bowie. Released in August 1992, it represented his first new solo material since Tin Machine dissolved.

The track marked a reunion with Let's Dance producer Nile Rodgers, who Bowie began working with in the summer of 1992 – the bulk of the material would form Bowie’s album Black Tie White Noise.

“Real Cool World” was issued in a variety of mixes, and paired with a video of clips from Cool World, but was overall a rather low-key release, resulting in a modest UK chart showing of #53. The track failed to chart in America.

7” version: -

  1. "Real Cool World (Edit)" (Bowie) – 4:15
