| "Runaround Sue" originally a US # 1 popular hit for the singer Dion DiMucci during 1961. The song was written by Ernie Maresca and Dion DiMucci. It was recorded in 1961 by Dion, backed by vocal group The Del-Satins. Released on Laurie Records, it is a song about a man whose ex-girlfriend had commitment trouble and "ran around" (hence the name of the song) with other people in the city. When I actually wrote the song and brought it into the studio to record it, well, her name wasn't actually Sue. It was about, you know, some girl who loved to be worshipped but as soon as you want a commitment and express your love for her, she's gone. |
