      Girl my 10 year sister got me into Rock by listening to late night Wolfman in California. She called me out on the porch at 1:00 am and said listen to this. I was 11 years old at the time. That night I became a die hard black girl rocker after that night.

      Toni Basil is 76 years old today -- look at her credits. You'd be amazed at what she has contributed to. Forget the song, Mickey. That was a novelty song that doesn't even figure into the vast accomplishments/choreography Toni has achieved in her career. If you see the 1964 Elvis Presley movie Viva Las Vegas when he's singing "What'd I Say," it's Toni in the red dress shaking her booty that Elvis refers to. She coordinated many of the dance routines in many big hit movies. Go ahead, read her credits - it's a great laugh. She is amazing.

    The song was used as the opening and closing song for the movie "Easy Rider." This was 1968 or 69. Another Steppenwolf song, "Pusherman," was also used in the movie soundtrack. So the lead singer is John Kay who actually didn't and doesn't ride motorcycles or drive. Born in post-WW2 Germany, he was born with a rare eye disorder that causes total color blindness, and he has always been legally blind. He only sees black, white, and grey. He emigrated to Canada at age 14, and 5 years later to the U.S. He always wore sunglasses because his eyes could not tolerate light.

    The video you see is from the movie “Easy Rider” with Peter Fonda, Jack Nicholson and Dennis Hopper. The band is Canadian/American. They originally started in Canada as “The Sparrows”. They reorganized in LA, adding two American guitarists and changed their name to “Steppenwolf “. Their lead singer John Kay was born in Germany and emigrated to Canada with his mother when he was eleven.

    This is actually at the beginning of the movie "Easy Rider". Films used to run all the credits at the beginning instead of the end, and the advertisements for upcoming movies were played at the end of the movie, hence why they're called "trailers", because they "trail" after the movie. as the decades wore on, the credits and trailers gradually shifted and swapped places, so now trailers are before a movie, and credits are after it.

    The song came first, by Steppenwolf, and because the song spoke to freedom and rebellion it was featured later on in the movie 'Easy Rider', which is a movie about freedom and rebellion, and bikers.

    This song was used in the movie Easy Rider. Steppenwolf recorded this song but you won’t see them here. You’d have to look up the band & look for a stage performance. Videos weren’t made by the artists for their songs back then, only vinyl records. As far as hitchhiking on a bike, they sure did in the 60s & 70’s, anything with wheels to get you where you wanted to go as long as you were game.

    It's from the 1969 film 'Easy Rider'. True fact, the name for the genre 'Heavy Metal comes from the lyric in this song 'heavy metal thunder'.

  • @jucadvgv3449
    @jucadvgv3449 3 года назад

    this was a song (i think the intro) for the movie 'easy rider'. i think it was the first time 'heavy metal thunder' was used, and that's where the term 'heavy metal' comes from for music. this was a late '60's movie, and this song was the 'bikers' anthem' for the '70's (and really anthem for just the '70's in general). i seem to recall my older brother having a poster from the movie on the wall in his bedroom somewhere around that time.

    In years past, the "major" credits were listed at the beginning of most TV and movie productions. The "minor" ones might be listed at the end. That has changed throughout the years.

  • @On_Dust
    @On_Dust 3 года назад

    This is from the 1969 movie 'Easy Rider'. This song has a line: 'I like smoke and lighting. Heavy metal thunder', this is the first band to ever say that phrase 'heavy metal' before metal existed And because of it's use in this movie it would stick heavy metal with motorcycle culture for ever after.
    EDIT: This movie one of the best movies for me.

    The video was actually the intro and opening credits to the classic 1969 biker film "Easy Rider" starring both the late Peter Fonda and Dennis Hopper. Jack Nicholson also appeared in this film. Peter Fonda appeared a number of biker films around this time period. RIP to both Peter Fonda and Dennis Hopper.
