<P> `` Born to Be Wild '' is a song first performed by the band Steppenwolf , written by Mars Bonfire . The song is often invoked in both popular and counter culture to denote a biker appearance or attitude . 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 ) . </P>
