This is the song that wins the battle of the bands contest in the movieSchool of Rock. You can only hear pieces of the song in the movie, and fromwhat 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 wherethey kick Jack Black out of the band, you hear them practicing it, and thelead 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.
