B-side
Also released as a single, its B-side, officially titled "Pow Wow", was actually a song called "Bring Back Howdy Doody", deliberately pressed backwards as a way of deterring radio stations from playing it.[8][why?]. "Bring Back Howdy Doody" was later recorded by another Buddah bubblegum music group produced by Jerry Kasenetz and Jeffry Katz called Flying Giraffe.[9]
