"Jimmy James" is the third single from American rap rock band the Beastie Boys' third album Check Your Head.

MTV and VH1 credit the "Jimmy James" music video to Nathanial Hörnblowér, Adam Yauch's director alter ego.

However, on the Beastie Boys' Sabotage VHS tape released in 1994, the "Jimmy James" music video is listed as being co-directed by Yauch (as Nathanial Hörnblowér) and Lisa Ann Cabasa, an actress, and Yauch's girlfriend at the time the video was made.

The name of the character Jimmy James played by Stephen Root on the television series NewsRadio came from this song.

[1] In the UK, the song charted as a part of the EP Frozen Metal Head.
