I removed the line "It was also featured on the soundtrack of Herbie Fully Loaded." simply because the song has been featured in far too many movies and TV shows -- listing only one seems unfair, and attempting to list them all seems arduous. --McDohl 21:48, 5 May 2006 (UTC)

Didn't anyone know that there was a movie by the same name? Shouldn't there be a disambiguation page?--124.43.193.255 14:56, 9 June 2007 (UTC)

There is a movie called Heavy Metal; I don't know of one called "Born to be Wild". Shocking Blue (talk) 16:07, 15 April 2009 (UTC)

Blue Oyster Cult

Does anyone think it worthy to mention that Blue Oyster Cult also released this song, and have performed it live every time I have seen, and heard them play live. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by Donb316 (talk • contribs) 14:09, August 20, 2007 (UTC).

I added Blue Oyster Cult as a band that has covered it. They have covered it numerous times, once on a studio album. --76.203.1.50 18:56, 8 September 2007 (UTC)

Fair use rationale for Image:Born to be Wild single.jpg

Image:Born to be Wild single.jpg is being used on this article. I notice the image page specifies that the image is being used under fair use but there is no explanation or rationale as to why its use in this Misplaced Pages article constitutes fair use. In addition to the boilerplate fair use template, you must also write out on the image description page a specific explanation or rationale for why using this image in each article is consistent with fair use.

Please go to the image description page and edit it to include a fair use rationale. Using one of the templates at Misplaced Pages:Fair use rationale guideline is an easy way to insure that your image is in compliance with Misplaced Pages policy, but remember that you must complete the template. Do not simply insert a blank template on an image page.

If there is other fair use media, consider checking that you have specified the fair use rationale on the other images used on this page. Note that any fair use images uploaded after 4 May, 2006, and lacking such an explanation will be deleted one week after they have been uploaded, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you.

AC/DC cover?

I haven't gotten to research it, but have heard that AC/DC covered Born to Be Wild. However, every "AC/DC" version turns out to just be the Steppenwolf one. Can someone look into it?

Slade

covered the song for their 1969 "beginnings" album. Probably worth mentioning in the article, seeing as slade pretty much invented glam rock. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 24.163.138.8 (talk) 15:56, 1 July 2008 (UTC)

Heavy metal

Correct me if im wrong but I allways thought that the lyrics of this song were the first to use the phrase "Heavey Metal". Could someone look into this for me. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Nukeguy04 (talk • contribs) 19:25, 14 April 2009 (UTC)

You are right, although it is already referenced in the opening paragraph of the article that way. However, it is really not a heavy metal song – and certainly not the first one. Shocking Blue (talk) 16:07, 15 April 2009 (UTC)

Name

This article jumps all over the place with whether it should be spelled "Born to Be Wild", "Born to be Wild", or even "BORN TO BE WILD". It should be standardized.192.249.47.177 (talk) 22:25, 9 April 2012 (UTC)
