It seems like this would be a part of a montage scene in either an 80's coming of age movie where the kid preps for the big fight against the bully and then gets the girl, or for a late-2000's movie where two bands of completely different styles have to combine forces and this is the song they come up with for the battle of the bands and the win seems to come from left field but really isn't
