Born To Be Wild

June 25, 2024


This month I’m focusing on Rock Songs of the 60s.


Today our song is:  Born To Be Wild


Wikipedia tells us this about the song:


Mars Bonfire wrote "Born to Be Wild" as a ballad. Bonfire was previously a member of the Sparrows, the predecessor band to Steppenwolf, and his brother was Steppenwolf's drummer. Although he initially offered the song to other bands — The Human Expression, for one — "Born to Be Wild" was first recorded by Steppenwolf in a sped-up and rearranged version that AllMusic's Hal Horowitz described as "a roaring anthem of turbo-charged riff rock" and "a timeless radio classic as well as a slice of '60s revolt that at once defines Steppenwolf's sound and provided them with their shot at AM immortality"







Enjoy!

  1. I absolutely LOVE this song - and Steppenwolf! It turned me from a 'teenybopper' into a 'rockchick', way back in 1968. ☺ Love the movie as well. Thanks for making my day, Mary!
