"Runaround Sue" is a rock and roll song (in a modified doo-wop style), originally a US No. 1 Hot 100 hit (No. 4 on the Hot R&B chart) for the singer Dion during 1961, after he split with the Belmonts. It was written by Dion with Ernie Maresca, and tells the story of a disloyal lover. The song ranked No. 351 on the Rolling Stone list of "The 500 Greatest Songs of All Time".
In 2002, Dion was inducted into the Grammy Hall of Fame for "Runaround Sue".
According to Dion, he started to put the song together at an informal party for a friend's birthday, where he started improvising lyrics and encouraged his friends to add doo-wop background harmonies to a clapping rhythm. He then took the idea to his friend, budding songwriter Ernie Maresca, and they developed the tune and lyrics together. Having recently split with the Belmonts, Dion then discovered another vocal group, the Del-Satins, and they rehearsed the song. The co-owner of Laurie Records (Gene Schwartz) liked the song, and it was recorded in summer 1961 at Bell Sound Studios in New York City.
The lyrics are sung from the point of view of a man whose former girlfriend, named Sue, was extremely unfaithful. He warns all potential lovers to avoid her at all costs, as Sue "runs around" with every guy she meets and never settles down with any man in particular. He advises: "now people let me put you wise, Sue goes out with other guys" and suggests that potential suitors should "keep away from Runaround Sue".
Dion stated in his autobiography The Wanderer, that although his wife's name was Susan, "Runaround Sue" had nothing to do with her. Elsewhere he stated that the name Sue was of a girl he had admired from a distance, and that "her name fit the lyric line perfectly." However, during a 1990 interview with his wife on The Oprah Winfrey Show, they presented the story that the song was indeed about her. In the same autobiography, he stated that the inspiration for the song came from the song "Quarter to Three" by Gary U.S. Bonds, which had recently been released.

A wonderful classic, great sound and the video is absolutely awesome! I had to laugh when I saw that the audience sat motionless in their chairs despite the really rousing song! Many thanks Sammy, have a wonderful new week! Cheers, E.H.

This clip is from the 1961 Columbia Pictures movie Twist Around the Clock. Dion also performed "The Wanderer" in the film. "Runaround Sue" was a no. 1 hit in the U.S. It also reached no. 4 on the Hot R&B chart on Billboard. It got to no. 11 in the UK. It was meant to be a Twist follow-up to Bill Haley's 1956 film Rock Around the Clock.

The brock purdy of singing. Blows their mind but they can't come to terms with the greatness they're witness to.
