Yes, that's the actual name of the song. It's not from the Department of Redundancy Department, but it might as well could have been. Rather, it's from the movie "This is Spinal Tap." For fans of the film, this is a key song which is played early in the movie and again in a climactic scene where Nigel Tufnel rejoins Spinal Tap on stage in the final gig of their ill-fated US tour.
It's a fun song to play on guitar as a series of power chords: G5, A5, E5, C5, F5 or in tab notation:
And here's a clip of Spinal Tap performing the song from the movie. On the Ultimate-Guitar tab site you can find several versions of the basic riffs as well as the solo as text file tabs and in Guitar-Pro format. Just be sure to turn the volume up to 11.
