It`s called Classical gas. It was originally by MasonWilliams  (also covered by Lisa Simpson in the episode where Homer ends up leading the union over the decisoin to scrap the dental plan )

Song is called Classical Gas if I`m not mistaken. Mason WIlliams did the original and Eric Clapton has a good version. Don`t know who does the one on the guinness ad.
