Here's a statement of the obvious: The opinions expressed here are those of the participants, not those of the Mutual Fund Observer. We cannot vouch for the accuracy or appropriateness of any of it, though we do encourage civility and good humor.
Being an older person; at times, I cringe when I hear partial songs from my younger days being moved through commercials on tv. I understand why certain song pieces are used for marketing of product 'x'. They want to trigger a good feeling in hopes the masses will want to purchase their product from a 'good vibe' sensibility.
The below lyric may be 'perverted' to what could be a theme song or tv ad for the folks pushing 'ICE' upon on society. You may choose your own thoughts as to the lyric, while keeping 'ICE' in mind; and hearing the song in your mind.
Apologies to Steppenwolf.
Get your motor runnin' Head out on the highway Looking for adventure In whatever comes our way
Yeah, darlin' gonna 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 lightnin' Heavy metal thunder Racing with the wind And the feeling that I'm under
Yeah, darlin' gonna 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 wanna die
Reportedly written more towards the Cold War, nuclear buildup of the period. The song link is the album cover with scrolling lyric. Just below the image, one may select 'more' to view the entire lyric. This action 'will not' disable the music.
Side note: Bob Dylan famously refused to play "Talkin' John Birch Paranoid Blues" on The Ed Sullivan Show in 1963, walking off the set in protest when CBS censors insisted he change the satirical lyrics mocking the conservative John Birch Society. He was offered to perform another song, but Dylan insisted, "If I can't play my song, I'd rather not appear on the show". The Song: "Talkin' John Birch Paranoid Blues" was a talking-blues song satirizing the anti-communist paranoia and conspiracy theories surrounding the John Birch Society.
The Incident: After auditioning the song for Ed Sullivan with no issues, CBS Standards & Practices executives blocked it during dress rehearsal due to potential defamation and the song's political content, fearing lawsuits.
The Outcome: Dylan, refusing to compromise, left the show, gaining publicity and a reputation for standing by his artistic principles.

Get your motor runnin'
Head out on the highway
Looking for adventure
In whatever comes our way
Yeah, darlin' gonna 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 lightnin'
Heavy metal thunder
Racing with the wind
And the feeling that I'm under
Yeah, darlin' gonna 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 wanna die
Born to be wild
Born to be wild
First time those lyrics made sense to me. Thanks, catch.
Love, Peace and War songs...
Here's to human understanding, harmony, toleration and an egalitarian society.
"Ripple." Missing Bob Weir.
