1961... #1 US Billboard Hot 100 #1 New Zealand Charts #1 Canada Top Singles #2 Australia #11 UK Singles Chart.. Two years after this song was released, Dion married a woman named Sue. In a 2009 interview with Blueswax, Dion revealed that his wife tells people this song is about her, even though she knows it isn’t. Said Dion: “She goes around telling everybody, ’Yeah, I’m Runaround Sue.’ I said, ’Why do you tell people that?’ She says, ’They remember me.’ She said, ’If I don’t tell them that, they won’t remember me.’“ The song ’runaround Sue’ is sung by Dion, 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.
