"Bouncing Off the Walls" was the second single from Sugarcult's 2001 album Start Static, and it had been kicking around a while: a demo called simply "Bouncing" had already turned up on the band's 2000 collection Wrap Me Up in Plastic. Mark Trombino produced and mixed the finished version into a hyperactive blast of pop-punk, all sugar-rush guitars and a chorus that lives up to the title.
It got around. It led off the soundtrack to Van Wilder, showed up in the very first episode of 24, in American Wedding and in the video game Big Air Freestyle, and reached 16 on the UK's rock and metal singles chart in 2003. In 2022 Cleveland.com placed it 76th among the 100 best pop-punk songs.
