"Click Click Boom" was the lead single from Every Six Seconds, Saliva's second album, and it came out swinging in 2001. Guitarist Wayne Swinny has said the song came together fast, sparked by AC/DC's "Back in Black", which tells you the kind of swagger they were chasing: nu metal with a big, blunt, fist-pumping stomp built to get a room moving.
In the video, a kid who never meant to be there ends up in a mosh pit at a Saliva show, only jumps in near the end when a girl from the crowd lures him, and finishes up moshing all alone in the empty room once the song is over. The track resurfaced as a special-edition bonus on Back into Your System, and in 2017 Annie Zaleski of Spin named it the 15th-best nu metal track of all time.
