Walt Disney changed the lyrics for "Born to Be Wild." Deletes firearms reference.
Walt Disney changed the lyrics for "Born to Be Wild."
For Herbie: Fully Loaded, they used classic rock songs covered by modern bands - like Caleigh Peters singing the Beach Boys' "Fun, Fun, Fun", the Donnas singing BTO's "Roll on Down the Highway", and the Mooney Suzuki singing Steppenwolf's "Born to Be Wild."
But if you listen closely, the motorcycle anthem's lyrics have been changed to eliminate a reference to firearms. Yeah, gonna make it happen...
"...Take the world in a love embrace.
Fire all your en-gines at once, and
explode into space."
It used to be "Fire all of your guns at once."
Original lyrics can be found here.
