The Bad News Bears movie did -- at one point -- have an original soundtrack. I remember having it in the 1970s. (I was then and still am now, a soundtrack freak.) The song you are looking for (the closing song, yes?) was on it. I wouldn't mind having that song myself; I've always liked it. Why it isn't available today -- instead of that travesty of a compilation of rock artists doing Bad News Bears tunes -- boggles my mind. Maybe my memory isn't what it used to be, but I don't recall Ted Nugent being on the original Bad News Bears soundtrack. Well, they actually used the song over and over thru the movie. When it shows them leaving on the 118 freeway, and then driving through the desert, trying to pick up the hot hitchhiker....they kept on doing refrains from the song, sometimes just with soprano sax playing the melody...great song..anyway! Of course, they also adapted the 1812 overture (which the song I am talking about is very loosely based on) and the marriage of Figaro whenever the Bears are screwing up out on the field. Now, is that compilation you mentioned somehow associated with the "horror that is the bad news bears remake"?
