Where is "See you Space Cowboy" from?


I feel stupid not knowing, but I can't quite put my finger on where ["See you
space cowboy"](http://www.seeyouspacecowboy.com) is from. I know it's from an
anime (that I think was made in the 90s?), but what anime specifically is it
from?




It's definitely Cowboy Bebop.

The background character is Spike Spiegel:

The phrase is taken from one of the ending credits:

!["SEE YOU SPACE COWBOY..."](https://i.stack.imgur.com/Ov4Exm.jpg)

However, the song on that website doesn't match the song entitled ["See you
Space Cowboy"](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PWkHeQy1WRAg) on the Original
Soundtrack, but is in fact ["Space
Lion"](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZRxPFRHwjcI).
