Written by Ozzy Osbourne, Zakk Wylde and Motörhead frontman Lemmy, Motörhead's recording of the song was used in the movie Hellraiser III: Hell on Earth, and in 1992 was released as the A-side of the single and as the sixth track on their March ör Die album. The A-side is covered with "Name in Vain" which also appears on March ör Die, and "Dead Man's Hand". The title track also appears on The '92 Tour EP.[1]
