This is the song that wins the battle of the bands contest in

the movie
School of Rock. You can only hear pieces of the song in the
movie, and from
what I heard, it sounded pretty good. I listened to the song on
the soundtrack,
and it was really cool, so I thought I'd tab it out. (Also, in
the scene where
they kick Jack Black out of the band, you hear them practicing
it, and the
lead singer is saying the chord names in the song, so I had a
head start there.)
In sections with lyrics, the notes line up with the word they
are played on.
In sections without lyrics, notes are spaced in the correct
rhythm.
