This is an unreleased/lost(?) song by the American progressive metal band Galactic Cowboys. it is from 1994 and a small snippet of the song appears on the movie Airheads, during a concert scene, but not on the soundtrack. They appeared in the movie as the band Sons Of Thunder.
The scene itself with the song

Notice, in the comments section, two posts are speculating
"Their guitarist said in a recent interview that they were told to write a really bad song for this. That's probably why they never released it."
"I read somewhere they didn’t record a whole song and just this 25 seconds. I’m almost certain they do the “ARE YOU READYYYYYY TO RUMBLE!” song too"
As a huge fan of theirs since 91 and knowing about the nature of the song's condition since then, I'd say it's a canidate for a at least psuedo-lostwave search or attention brought to it.

But according to this site. A user named jammindude said
"If you remember the movie "Airheads" with Brendon Frasier, Steve Bushemi, and Adam Sandler....The Galactic Cowboys had a cameo as "the band that got signed" by the radio station playing their single. In the movie, they were called "Sons of Thunder" and they played a song called "Don't Hate Me (Because I'm Beautiful)". Interestingly enough, The Galactic Cowboys wrote that song for the movie...were featured in the movie playing that song...and then the song subsequently DID NOT appear on the Airheads soundtrack (which *did* feature songs that were never played in the movie....go figure).
The song was never heard in its entirety because the rights to the recording were retained by the movie studio. So the song has become something of a legend...because no one has ever heard the song outside of the few seconds that were featured in the movie.
But I just exchanged a couple of Emails with Monty where I brought up the idea of re-recording the song, and he said that it had never occurred to him and it sounded like a great idea and that he would bring up the idea to the other guys. I do not know if anything will ever come of that...but I did think it was cool that Monty was at least interested in the idea.
That would be an interesting 25th anniversary present to the fans anyway."

EDIT: "Monty" is GC bassist Monty Colvin
