"Born to Be Wild" is a song performed by Ozzy Osbourne on the Kermit Unpigged album, with commentary by Miss Piggy. The number begins with Miss Piggy flattered that Ozzy is going to sing to her, and ends with her advising him "Ozzy, get off of the floor!"

Baby Sinclair sang a verse of the song in the Dinosaurs episode "Nature Calls". It was sung by Mr. Rockchewer in voice-over, over clips of the Creature Shop characters, at the start of the end credits in The Neverending Story III.
