"Born To Be Wild" was the third – and by far the most successful – single released from Steppenwolf's eponymous debut album. It has been covered by various artists and included in numerous soundtracks, beginning with Dennis Hopper's Easy Rider in 1968.
Rolling Stone magazine named it the 130th greatest song of all time and noted that it "would help give a new genre [heavy metal] its name." Bob Mersereau ranked it 6th in The Top 100 Canadian Singles.
