Funny enough, the song is covered and features prominently in this film.

Featured review
Won't be for everyone
As is the case with any feature film based upon and written by a sketch-comedy property, Go West is a mixed bag of material.
Some of the scenes really fell flat with repetitive "jokes" that were devoid of any sort of structure that could be construed as comedy.
But the infectious personalities of the cast and the blend of dry delivery and absurd style of humor really worked for me more often than it didn't. The film's finale also had plenty of cleverly-inserted payoffs to jokes that were set up earlier in the film.
These types of movies usually have a few bright spots amidst a total mess, but for me this had some really messy spots amidst a mostly admirable effort from a small studio.
