"Space Cowboy" is a song by the British band Jamiroquai, and the lead-off from their second album The Return of the Space Cowboy.
Two very distinct versions of the song exist: One was recorded with Stuart Zender on bass, has a greater tempo, and uses a 'bass slap' technique during the chorus. This version is commonly known as the "Stoned Again mix", even though it is the original version. The second version, the one that appears on the album is considerably different, with its lower tempo, and a completely dissimilar bassline. The bass on the album version was not played by Zender, but by an unknown artist only credited as "Mr. X" in the booklet.
It was this song that earned Jason the "Space cowboy" nickname in the british press.
The U.S. version of the single contains remixes by David Morales, and the single was re-released in 2006 on vinyl as part of Jamiroquai's "Classic Club Anthems" series.
