STEPPENWOLF - BORN TO BE WILD (LYRICS)

[@jackiebailey5757]

I am 79 yrs old and still am ,Was born to be wild. I still have a T shirt that says " Wild Thing" on it just played that song too. So delighted you still are playing those oldies but goodies THANK- YOU YOU JUST MADE MY DAY, MY MONTH AND MY YEAR

[@jackiebailey5757]

Dirtbikeizlife ----- Hmmmm you sound like a 14 teen old. Why are you so doubtful about 80 yr olds liking music from when they were younger. I am a young at heart almost 80 yrs old. I learned how to use the PC 20 yrs ago and received my first I pad 3 yrs ago from one of my 6 daughters. We had real music back when. So many songs these days are just noise to me. I just bought a black Tee shirt with a gold head Wolfe on front that reads " Don't throw me to the wolves, They Come When I Call" Live and let live ! Be positive and kind. Enjoy your lifestyle and I will mine. Meet you on the wild side of life. 😎 positive

[@johnbeardsley3684]

In the top ten list of 60's songs. This song will pass the test of the ages.

[@kernjames]

Back in the 1970-1990s, I was the front man for our band the Rumblebugs (NE Kansas, south and west too). We played this song nearly every Gig. But!! 20 some years since playing it, I forgot how it goes, and so, I came here to refresh my memory on the chord progression LOL. I now have the song re-learned after about 8 minutes. The disappointment is that the key of E is too high for me now! I need to sing it in D or Eb, and the way the song relies on that heavy power chord E, well something will need to change. I might be able to pull off Eb and tune the guitar to a step below standard. It sucks getting old. In the past, I have played this song in many a Dive Bar, stoned, sober and drunk (but not all at the same time). We were a legend in our own minds. Freedy Johnston played drums for us 1987-88. Through out the 80s, Shaw Wilson played drums for us too, and he went on to play drums for BR549. We were just a small dance band. There were several band names for the Jim Lee Band; The Spiders, The Rumblebugs, The Soul-jers, Good Question, Scuzbucket, and the Tonganoxie Red Water Band.

[@jairourdaneta1]

One of the best bands ever. No other band could have played such important themes that were even taken to movies. Good for them. Not any other band will take your place. I wonder are the still alive?

[@madhusudanbhandarkar]

Fantastic song and it is haunting and evergreen. I first listened to this lovely song during my school days.

[@kevingill648]

Steppenwolf was never labeled as a GREAT band but their music will live forever. It’s a statement of REBELLION

[@jreeder6168]

It's OK. Anyone into rock knows are great.

[@LanaJeonPetersEilshPotter]

Meus pais são separados desde meus 3 anos de idade. Minha mãe diz que meu pai ouvia muito rock internacional, e essa era uma das suas favoritas, desde meus 4 anos eu vim pro PR enquanto meu pai ainda mora desde então em Sorocaba. Recentemente recebi um vídeo dele cantando essa música num bar de música ao vivo. Ele cantava essa música (e muito bem), sempre mantemos contato por mensagens, vídeo chamadas e ligações, então da forma que dá ele é presente. Antes mesmo de eu saber que meu ai gostava de rock eu já gostava, e tenho orgulho de dizer que ouço Rihanna desde que estava no útero de minha mãe kkkkkk hoje tenho 14 anos, e meu ótimo gosto musical é herança, não é possível kkkkkk

[@rosekazmerski8306]

I really like all of Steppenwolf's songs. Steppenwolf rocks!!!!!

[@arielvizcarra2408]

I got a lot of energy by just listening to this song...love this

[@jameswalsh6815]

Steppenwolf were from originally a band called the Sparrow in Toronto, Ontario, Canada. According to founder and lead singer John Kay they are actually Canadians who invited 2 Americans in Hollywood to join their new band Steppenwolf. John said "We got it together in a rehearsal space on Fountain Ave" in Hollywood California and the rest is history. Well Having seen them at Universal Amphitheatre in Studio City in the 1990's I can say they can really play ! The electronic equipment failed so John apologized and so they played all their classic stuff. It was incredible.

[@johnbeardsley3684]

The first use of the term "Heavy Metal" although in this song it probably refers to a Harley-Davidson motorcycle.

[@MarioConsi68]

you must be a old timer...

[@nix4jesus]

MarioConsi68 oh no for being old... all that experience and everything :O

[@maksphoto78]

Arguably, also the very first heavy metal song. I agree, as it has that focus on machine-like riffs, lyrical themes and song structures.

[@fascistswan3470]

Heavy metal thunder

[@lyndayoung1430]

You r spook right my motorcycle bro! This adds a good meaning to Heavy metal and whaaats up out there from two pop,baby bull dog

[@mels-mayhem]

One reason this girl rocks is because this song rocks and it is so inspiring to me. I've been covering this song in various bands that I played bass in for about 30 years and it always was a huge hit with our audiences before I went solo. This song is still in my repertoire today as a musician who now playing lead guitar. And that is because I never get tired of playing it because it's such a fun song to play and sing. :)
