Improve your listening and writing skills by filling in the blanks of the song lyrics. Contuining with this week’s space-related songs, we propose today Space Cowboy by Jamiroquai. This English jazz-funk band was born in London in the 1990’s and is fronted by singer-songwriter Jay Kay. Jamiroquai is still actively touring and giving concerts today. The song Space Cowboy was a big hit for the band. Despite the title, it is actually not at all about space… but about using marijuana to get high or spaced-out.
