"Click Click Boom" is a song by the American rock band Saliva. It was released in 2000 on their second album Every Six Seconds as the lead single. The song was put on the 2001 Clear Channel memorandum. However, no actual lyrical changes were made. The song reappeared on the band's next studio effort ( Back into Your System ) as a special edition bonus track.

The song peaked at number 25 on Alternative Airplay and number 15 on Mainstream Rock.

Music video and lyrics

A music video was released for the song. The video revolves around a boy who unwittingly finds himself in a moshpit in which the band performs. Near the end of the video, after being enticed by a girl straight out from the crowd, the boy joins the moshpit. After the end of the song, the boy is shown moshing alone in the empty space where the band performed.

Saliva guitarist Wayne Swinny explained that the song came very quickly, and was inspired by the AC/DC anthem "Back In Black," which Scott fell asleep listening to one night. "When we were kids, that was one of the songs you heard every time you went to a concert before the band actually played," Swinny said. "They'd be playing all the big, cool rock songs, and that's one you always heard. It's just a huge classic rock epic, and he wanted to write a song like that. So he [Scott] listened to it, went to sleep, and apparently dreamed it or just woke up with it in his head and that was where 'Click Click Boom' came from". [2]
