    I'm not a historian, but I'd say this song has inspired a whole lotta rock. The first twenty seconds are classic. If there was a scale of 1-10 of most important/rock inspirational songs, I'd say this is an eight, at least.

    My dad was an accountant, but he loved this kind of music (much to some people’s surprise). When my sister and I were young, he would take us for drives in his 20 year old Porsche 911, with this song playing at the maximum volume. Such great memories. He unexpectedly passed away on June 3rd, 2022 at age 57. We requested this song to be played at his funeral, but my family forgot we requested it! So when it started playing, everyone instantly burst out into happy laughs and smiles from memories of a bygone era. RIP Dad.

      My mum's favourite too, she died in her mid 60s. But if I think of her - this song sums her up - she was fearless! Reckon if she hadn't had children young she'd be back on the road!! Respect to your dad.

      On the other hand, my parents were the ones dedicating this song to me 😅 ((wonder why!)) And my mom passed away on 2020. I ended up listening to this song to remind myself that, if my mom said I was ((wild)) I would have any fear at the moment she was gone! And here I am!!! Sorry for your loss and be sure your father is there with you whenever you play this. Some of us know how it feels but...let's keep it wild!!! Hugs!!!

    Get your motor running
    Head out on the highway
    Lookin' for adventure
    In whatever comes our way
    Yeah, darlin', 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
    Racin' with the wind
    And the feeling that I'm under
    Yeah, darlin', 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
    Get your motor running
    Head out on the highway
    Lookin' for adventure
    In whatever comes our way
    Yeah, darlin', gonna make it happen
    Take the world in a love embrace
    Fire all of your guns at once and

As soon as she got into my car, wham! She punched me in the jaw. I'm sitting there rubbing it in. lol. I looked at her and I told her that I was in love. I was going to take her to a hotel, but she said she couldn't wait so I pulled over and we went at it right there in public. I started dating her, and she always wanted to do the public.

      Never gets old. I'm not a biker - dated a few, but this is one of my all time main life songs. So many different memories attached to it like coming of age and one of my first teen crushes while this song played in the background. Turns out he wound up being an avid biker when he got older and owned a biker clothing and stuff store. Rode for charities. He's passed now - over 20 yrs. Peace, Larry.

      TheBonScott33 Glad to hear it.. exactly what I did following a bad one many years ago that wasn't my fault.... It got me through the bad times.. I actually asked my family to bring in the then video I had of the film when I was allowed up off the spinal bed and I would go to the day room that had a tv and video player.. back in late 90's.. I ended up doing the advanced bike test to get my confidence back when I self discharged.... Hope it all works out for you.. I was in the NSIC at Stoke Mandeville, five months following NHS negligence after the accident.... told I would never walk again but ignored that and can stand and move now just limited mobility and heaps of pain, I still ride.. Once it's in the blood to ride it's usually there for life... All the best for a 100% recovery. Keep your sense of humour I was told and it worked.. good advise I am happy to pass on to a fellow fallen rider.

Went along the whole Beartooth Highway between NE Entrance of Yellowstone Nat’l Park all the way to Red Lodge, Montana. Elevations of 11,000’ & mountain tops in every direction “Big Sky’s” all around. Caught hail at the summit in July above tree line, slick hair pin turns all the way back down.

    Celebrated my 70th birthday in Port A on Texas coast last weekend and beach DJ asked what song I wanted played. Without skipping a heartbeat, this one exploded in my head. Been feeling the wind in my (now thinned) hair for 53 years. Right after the snare cracks open the song, I'm 18 and a true nature child...
