It is among the first heavy metal songs written, perhaps instrumental in establishing the genre. The song was part of the movie soundtrack for the 1969 classic film, Easy Rider which starred Dennis Hopper and Peter Fonda.Steppenwolf Born to Be Wild lyrics and song has been covered by numerous artists, from Wilson Pickett to Ozzy Osbourne (with Miss Piggy).
