The psychedelic rock track was released in 1970 as a double A-side single and part of their Cosmo's Factory album. In the years since its release, "Run Through the Jungle" became a generational rock staple that originally landed at No.4 on the Billboard Hot 100 chart. Its lyrics would take on a powerful meaning, but Fogerty would reveal it's not what people originally interpreted.
In 2016, Fogerty appeared on Newsmans ’ AXS show The Big Interview to dispel the common myth about the track. The singer would reveal that his inspiration was political and based ona real event, but it wasn't based around the war.
“On through the years, of course, we’ve seen more and more of this sort of event. One is just as wacky or crazy as the other. When we sometimes think we have a handle on why this person did something, then another one comes along that’s a complete departure.”
Forgerty would add that he read a statistic at the time of there being one gun for every man, woman, and child that he found staggering. The idea of there being hundreds of privately owned guns influenced his lyrics as he found it "disturbing that it was such a jungle for our citizens just to walk around in our own country at least having to be aware that there are so many private guns owned by some responsible and maybe many irresponsible people.”
