[edit] Controversy
On the promotional version of Spaceman, there are extra lyrics at the start of the song, with Jas saying "I killed your mother, I killed your sister" and then later "I killed you all" these lyrics were later taken out of the song, and replaced with the Arthur Baker introduction. although, the "I killed you all lyric" (heard after the first chorus) can be still heard in the song. There was a more lower budget video made for this version. The video to this promotional version can be seen here
Due to the popularity of the introduction of the song, most people where astounded to find out that they had bought a rock song instead of a dance song.
