"Indian Giver" is a song written by Bobby Bloom, Ritchie Cordell, and Bo Gentry.
It was first recorded by 1910 Fruitgum Company for their 1969 album, Indian Giver.
[3] Its B-Side, "Pow Wow", was actually a song called "Bring Back Howdy Doody" deliberately pressed backwards as a way of deterring radio stations from playing the B-Side,[4][why?]
which was later recorded by another Buddah bubblegum music group produced by Jerry Kasenetz and Jeffry Katz called Flying Giraffe.
[5] The song went to #5 on The Billboard Hot 100 in 1969 and was on the charts for 13 weeks.
