"Running Bear" is a #teenageTragedySong written by Jiles Perry Richardson (a.k.a. #theBigBopper) and sung most famously by #JohnnyPreston in 1959. The 1959 recording featured background vocals by #GeorgeJones and the session's producer Bill Hall, who provided the "#Indian #chanting" of "uga-uga" during the three verses, as well as the "Indian war cries" at the start and end of the record.
