"Rollin' (Air Raid Vehicle)" is a song by Limp Bizkit from their album Chocolate Starfish and the Hot Dog Flavored Water. It was released as the second single along with "My Generation" which was also a hit. "Rollin' (Urban Assault Vehicle)" (which is on the same album) is a remix of "Rollin' (Air Raid Vehicle)" that features DMX, Redman, and Method Man. It is the band's only #1 song in the UK, where it was at the top for three weeks. This song more or less signaled a decline for the band in the eyes of their fans and subsequently became Limp Bizkit's last big hit, not to mention it has been parodied and listed on VH1's 50 Most Awesomely Bad Songs list. Despite that this song is often declared by many Limp Bizkit fans to be their signature work.

The song is also well-known among WWE fans as the "Dead Man Mix" was the entrance theme for The Undertaker from December 2000 to mid-2002 and again for WrestleMania XIX in 2003 where it was performed live.

The music video was filmed at the World Trade Center in New York, when it showed the whole band playing together. In the beginning, Ben Stiller gives Fred Durst the keys to his car. Durst then rolls down the street in the car along with his band mates. The song Ben Stiller is playing at the beginning is "My Generation" from the same album. The video also has scenes of Fred Durst with 5 girls dancing in a room, possibly located in the World Trade Center. The video received the 2001 award for Best Rock Video at the VMAs. Ironically, the band received a letter from the World Trade Center thanking them for featuring the Twin Towers in the video the day before the towers were destroyed[1].

The song has been parodied on MadTV entiled "Posin'". Intending to make fun of frontman Fred Durst of being a poser.

Pop Singer Robbie Williams played the song live[citation needed].
