Rockin' The Suburbs

Rockin' The Suburbs

Rockin’ the Suburbs is an alternative rock 2001 album by singer/songwriter Ben Folds. His first solo album after leaving his band Ben Folds Five (while still a part of Ben Folds Five, he released an experimental album called Fear of Pop: Volume 1), Rockin’ the Suburbs is also Folds' most popular LP to date, and includes the well-known title track. It was released on the same day as the September 11 attacks.

"Rockin’ the Suburbs" is Folds' only single thus far to make Billboard's Modern Rock Tracks chart, peaking there at #28. The album peaked at #42 on the Billboard 200 chart, and at #11 on the Top Internet Albums chart. A remake of the title track featuring William Shatner appeared in the soundtrack for the 2006 film Over the Hedge, which stars Shatner as a possum named Ozzie.

Despite multiple uses of profanity, the Parental Advisory sticker was never added.
