Explosivo   by Tenacious D  
notes: This song contains fairly easy chords, learning the rhythm is a bit tough but just listen and play along with it until you get it.  If you disagree with any of the lyrics then just change them yourself, this is the way it sounds to me.
Part I: This is pretty basic barre chord action.  Warning, your hand may start to hurt or cramp by the end of this song.
