One of the many, many covers of Steppenwolf’s 1967 hit Born to be Wild, with an unique Cult twist, turning it into what many people listening to the song on the radio believe to be the ‘original’!
It’s also the only cover by the Cult that I’m aware of, which certainly is quite meaningful by itself.
Get your motor running
Head out on the highway
Looking for adventure
And whatever comes our way
Yeah darling, gonna make it happen
Take the world in a love embrace
Fire all of your guns at once
And explode into space
I like smoke and lightning
Heavy metal thunder
Racing with the wind
And the feeling that I'm under
Yeah darling, gonna make it happen
Take the world in a love embrace
Fire all of your guns at once
And explode into space
Like a true nature's child
We were born
Born to be wild
We can climb so high
I never wanna die
Born to be wild
Born to be wild, yeah
Get your motor running
Head out on the highway
Looking for adventure
And whatever comes our way
Yeah darling, gonna make it happen
Take the world in a love embrace
Fire all of your guns at once
And explode into space
Like a true nature's child
We were born
Born to be wild
We can climb so high
And I never wanna die
Born to be wild
Born to be wild, ow
