"Rockin' Down The Highway" and "Born To Be Wild" are from Jeff Scott Soto's "Biker Mice From Mars" album of tunes for 1993's animated TV series of the same name. Although it was cancelled after 3 seasons, it spun off a Super Nintendo video game in 1994 and a comic book series published by Marvel Comics. A 28 episode revival of the TV series appeared in 2006 along with new video games for Nintendo DS & Sony PS2 consoles. By that time Jeff was fronting "Journey" and his own "Boogie Knights" and had moved on, but the cover songs on the Biker Mice LP remain some of his best work.
His other major Media Coup after fronting Talisman, Yngwie Malmsteen, Germany's Axel Rudie Pell and Soul Sirkus, was providing the voice of actor Jason Flemyng, lead singer of the fictional band "Steel Dragon" in the 2001 movie "Rock Star" starring Mark Wahlberg, Jennifer Aniston and Timothy Olyphant along with rock notables, ex-Dokken and current Foreigner bassist Jeff Pilson, Black Label Society founder Zakk Wylde and ex-Foreigner and Black Country Communion drummer Jason Bonham (the son of the late John Bonham, drummer for Led Zeppelin). I'm still amazed at Jeff's obscurity considering his formable talent, impressive resume and "sphere's of influence".
