Detailed Description Containing Key Facts: "Born To Be Wild" is the definitive anthem of American counterculture, rebellion, and freedom, and the most famous song by Steppenwolf. Released in 1968, it became a massive international hit and is indelibly linked to the biker culture, largely due to its iconic inclusion in the 1969 film Easy Rider. The song is famous for popularizing the term "heavy metal" in its lyrics ("heavy metal thunder"). Musically, it features a driving, distorted guitar riff, a relentless beat, and John Kay's commanding, gravelly vocals. Its raw energy and lyrical message of breaking free from societal norms resonated deeply with a generation. "Born To Be Wild" remains a timeless rock classic, a staple on classic rock radio, and an enduring symbol of rock 'n' roll liberation
