“Born to Be Wild“ is a song written by Mars Bonfire and first performed by the band Steppenwolf. It is often invoked in both popular and counter culture to denote a biker appearance or attitude. It is most notably featured in the 1969 film Easy Rider. Sometimes, “Born to Be Wild“ is described as the first heavy metal song, and the second-verse lyric “heavy metal thunder“ marks the first use of this term in rock music (although not as a description of a musical style but rather a motorcycle)
Born to Be Wild“ was Steppenwolf’s third single off their self-titled debut album and became their signature song, reaching No. 2 on the Billboard Hot 100 singles charts. It was kept from the No. 1 spot by “People Got to Be Free“ by the Rascals.[9] In 2004, Rolling Stone magazine placed “Born to Be Wild“ at No. 129 on the 500 Greatest Songs of All Time list.[10] Also in 2004, it finished at No. 29 on AFI’s 100 Songs survey of top tunes in A
