I cant find the "Moonbase Alpha" parody vid where ppl abused the text-to-speech system, and one of them asked about how to win the game. Then someone said something like this: "No one wins on the moon / On the moon no one wins" and I rolled off my chair XD
This is what I will allways think when I see something Nasa related.

I think so! Correct me if I'm wrong, I'm no expert on physics. Actually, this is a concept I read in a book when I was 12 (but it happened on a pool mattress, not in space :P)
Your angular momentum when you're not rotating in any direction is 0, and if you start swinging the tail in helicopter-like motion, then the rest of your body will start slowly rotating the other way, so the sum of momentum remains 0.
Tails are an awesome thing.

I've just imagined a cat starting to madly spin its tail when the beat drops

Not a physicist here, either, but maybe an engineer is almost as good.
What you're describing is correct. It's Newton's 3rd Law. You start spinning something one way, and that thing will try to spin you in the opposite direction.
You can demonstrate this yourself: sit in a swivel chair that spins easily, pull your feet off the ground, and whirl your arm around above your head. You'll notice your seat beginning to rotate in the opposite direction of your arm's motion.
It's how satellites like the Hubble Space Telescope orient themselves in space. (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FidvWCDA_8w for a demonstration video)
