Description

The #1 hit was not only the first song to mention the rock style in a lyric, but its Oshawa-born writer Mars Bonfire, whose brother was the band's drummer, packed the lyrics with enough of a rebel yell it was also used as the 'unofficial' theme for the big-screen movie hit Easy Rider (1969) - a film which remains one of the most popular counterculture releases of the 20th Century
