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....
