"Born to Be Wild" is a song originally performed bySteppenwolf. In the television specialDown and Out with Donald Duck, the song plays whenDonald decides to put his mind and his trademark fiery temper at ease by taking a vacation (the song is set to footage of classic Donald cartoons showing Donald on vacation). The song, which turns out to be playing on Donald's car radio, is interrupted, however, by a news flash that Donald has left the Walt Disney Studios and is headed for parts unknown.
InD3: The Mighty Ducks, during the third hockey period of the JVDucks against the VarsityWarriors,Dean Portman gets put in the penalty box for supposedly hooking an opponent. He then screams wildly while in the box and begins stripping, during which the school band plays "Born to Be Wild".
In theLizzie McGuire episode "Gordo's Video", the song is played whenSam McGuire trips over a skateboard while going around a course thatMatt made in order to make himself a daredevil.
Get your motor runnin' Head out on the highway Lookin' for adventure And whatever comes our way Yeah, Darlin' go 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 feelin' that I'm under Yeah Darlin' go 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 want to die
