Bowling for Soup is a pop-punk band based in Denton, Texas (but originally from Wichita Falls, Texas) formed in 1994, best known for their singles "Girl All The Bad Guys Want" in 2002 (a 2003 Grammy Award nominee) and "1985" in 2004, a major commercial hit. The band's name is derived from comedian Steve Martin's "Bowling for Shit" routine from his 1978 comedy album, Wild and Crazy Guy, itself a reference to Bowling for Dollars.
