Kim Wilde - Born to be wild (Official Music Video 2002)

“Born to Be Wild“ is a song written by Mars Bonfire and first performed by the band Steppenwolf. The song is often invoked in both popular and counter culture to denote a biker appearance or attitude. It is most notably featured in the 1969 film Easy Rider. It is sometimes described as the first heavy metal song, and the second verse lyric “heavy metal thunder“ marks the first use of this term in rock music (although not as a description of a musical style but rather a motorcycle). In 2002, it was covered by Kim Wilde and released as a non-album single. Her cover reached No. 84 in Germany and No. 71 in Switzerland.
