"The Nosebleed Section" is a song by the Australian hip hop music group Hilltop Hoods. It was the third single issued from their 2003 album "The Calling". In the Triple J Hottest 100, 2003 it placed at #9. It is one of their best-known songs and was a radio hit in 2004, but it was not an ARIAnet chart hit, which they did not attain until 2006 when they released "Clown Prince". The lyrics of the song deal with upbeat themes of parties, concerts, good times and living the high life involved in an MC's career.

The Nosebleed Section's chorus and backing beat are sampled from the song "The People In The Front Row" originally sung by Melanie Safka. Pieces of this song are continuously inserted into "The Nosebleed Section." :"I looked around for faces I'd know,":"I fell in love with the people in the front row, oh how..." :"...Put me here, and I'm all yours, ":"It's not for the money and it's not for the applause, no."

The term 'Nosebleed Section' relates to the occurrence of nosebleeds in the active part of the mosh pit at the front of the audience (and can also refer to the the uppermost level of a concert venue, exaggerating the idea of high altitudes giving nosebleeds). It may also have drawn from the music loudness near the stage causing bleeding from the ears.
