Run around Sue actually married Dion and they've been together for over 60yrs

[@davey3884]

The song was not about his wife, according to him it was about a Manhattan nightclub worker named Sue.

@@supernova6177 I don't have a radio or record player. I don't even have a car! The only way I can listen to music is thru KZbin or some other radio channel that usually stops playing in the middle of a song. My Wi-Fi carrier is terrible! In addition I have forgotten a lot of the old names and the classics did I grow up with and remember hearing. Maybe one day my memory will come back...

[@videoinformer]

Just when "The Wanderer" met and fell in love with the girl he wanted to settle down with, she turned out to be "Runaround Sue", and he found out what it felt like for all the girls he used and left in his wake: "I kiss 'em and I love 'em, cause to me they're all the same . I hug 'em and I squeeze 'em. They don't even know my name." (Poor guy.)

[@MissAstorDancer]

Except "Runaround Sue" came several months BEFORE "The Wanderer"!!

[@videoinformer]

@@MissAstorDancer Then, I guess I had it reverse: Here was this upstanding guy, so traumatized by the way "Runaround Sue" left him with a broken heart, that he *became* "The Wanderer"! It took him "several months", as you wrote, for his lamentation (and lots of record sales singing about it) to morph into revenge on all women through the same behavior he suffered from Sue (and lots more record sales singing about that too)! ;-)

[@brendaisajiw3417]

David-It doesn't matter which song came first, "The Wanderer" or "Runaround Sue". What you said was funny just the same. The same goes for the second half of your statement. Lol

[@virginiabrowning6896]

Also Ricky Nelson's Traveling Man. It was the male attitude problem that they could run around but she could not. She wasn't a whore, she just didn't sit home and wait for him to call.

[@justgame5508]

Runaround sue is what created the wanderer, Sue broke his heart so he stopped caring runaround Sue comes before the wanderer

[@kathleen3177]

never thought of it that way-- I think we took it like she "dated" a lot of guys and broke their hearts, not necessarily slept with them. Now days people I guess assume that there is always sex involved..

[@irishgrl]

[@karenkessin4135]

Fun fact - Runaround Sue was written about the girl that Dion married two years after the song came out. Although he originally denied it, saying the song was generally about the kind of girl who leads you on, but won't commit, he finally admitted it some time in the 90s. (His wife always claimed the song was about her. They are still married.)

[@jasondziura5538]

no way! i knew for a fact this song wasnt random, its way too specific. thank you for telling us this 😊

[@lauracosby7382]

Heard this one growing up as well, my cousins were into his music. Ah the old days, with real vinyl records. Heaven!

[@RubesGoodBrainCoffee]

Dion is a great inspiration and a rock 'n' roll legend. He's the only surviving headliner from the Buddy Holly Winter Dance Party Tour. His account of that tour is the definitive version of what happened. I highly recommend finding his telling of it on KZbin. He got bogged down in drugs but hit bottom and got cleaned up, ultimately becoming a committed Christian; and he's still making records to this very day! His wife's name is actually Susan. I heard him in an interview asked if she was Runaround Sue. His answer: 'She wishes.' (They were high school sweethearts and are happily married to this very day.)

I heard about that too. I believe that dance tour was supposedly to take place in Storm Lake, IA if I am not correct.

[@RubesGoodBrainCoffee]

@@LeaderofThePack303 I believe Clear Lake, IA was the last date they performed before the crash. Then, they had to finish the tour even though three of the headliners were killed -- and then some of the club owners had the nerve to threaten to pay them only 1/4 of the original price!

[@2352anne]

@@RubesGoodBrainCoffee Unbelievable!

[@Mrs.Patriot]

Hey - to answer your question, Sue was probably not sexually active but went out with a lot of guys. A "runaround" would let guys buy her things, take her out, maybe be a tease. Not have a steady boyfriend. But sex was probably not part of the deal. Enjoy your channel and love that you like the old classics. God bless!

[@kathleen3177]

exactly! now days I guess people just assume there was sex. We took it like she "dated" a lot of guys not had sex with them

[@waltonnewton1149]

I get it. my grandma said I needed a girl like sue. I should have sued her for bad advice lol

[@CaptainNice]

Right. "Runaround Sue" is a Silent Generation song. By the late '60s, the Boomer Generation was doing things different, and the music changed... In 1961, the birth control pill was newly FDA approved, but only for married women. Abortion was mostly illegal. It was pretty common for couple's 1st baby to be born "premature" (less than 9 months after the honeymoon; good manners assumes that would be the conception date). Plus, all the guys 16+ had cars. (Just trying to add historical context, not political opinion.)

[@danieljohnson2139]

Yeah but if somebody made a song called something like 'Runaround John' and it was about a boy, sang by a girl I guarantee you that people would assume that the boy went around having sex all the time

Well, I was going to thank you for listening to what my father once referred to as "my" song, because my name is Susan. However, he said it because I was sixteen, had my own car and liked to go places with my friends. I was too busy to stay home. I was a virgin, and he knew it, so I never thought of it the way you described it until now. It was a little before my time, I heard it in the '70s. I think I'll just stick to my memory of it being a fun song 😉. Like Build Me Up Buttercup. Something we just loved to sing along to. ✌️

Remember This is Dion the guy who sang ‘ The Wanderer’ you loved the way he got his message across in that song. Also he sang Abraham, Martin and John an incredibly emotional song, worth a listen!

[@jflaugher]

Hi Ty, Dion's career started in 1958 as the lead singer for Dion & the Belmonts - their first big hit was "I Wonder Why." This particular song, "Run Around Sue" was released in 1960 - it was Dion's first hit single after the group broke up and launched his solo career.

[@decadantdog4444]

[@AdrianDeVore]

Abraham, Martin, and John was Dion's comeback song from '68 in response to the assassinations of Martin Luther King, Jr. And Robert Kennedy.

[@oregonchick76]

"Runaround Sue" was a staple for road trips when I was a kid -- it's so fun to sing along with! But if you want to see a MAJOR transition in depth and style for an artist, check out Dion's "Abraham, Martin, and John." That never fails to bring tears to my eyes and is a poignant tribute to some of the men who were killed for trying to advance civil rights (the song references Abraham Lincoln, Martin Luther King, Jr., and John and Robert Kennedy). It's amazing to think Dion released "Abraham, Martin, and John" just 7 years after such a happy, pop song as "Runaround Sue."

[@ripmod1]

Dion was actually a musical genius. This song was one of the most popular songs of the fifties. Dion wrote and performed for many many years. He is in the rock and roll hall of fame. Much respect to Dion and the Belmonts.

This Dion Song 'Runaround Sue' and 'The Wanderer' were released around 1961/62 when I was 11 years old (that makes me 69 now). No rude words were heard on songs back then. I agree with Kathleen Diaz about what dating meant to us. I think we lived in a more innocent age. I like your work and find it very interesting what a young person today makes of the music of the 50's and 60's. For me they are nostalgic. From 1964 - 70 I listened to a lot of southern soul (labels like Stax records and artists like Otis Redding, Carla Thomas, Arthur Conley, Wilson Picket, Percy Sledge... I'd be interested to learn what you thing about these.

[@rickdavis1030]

To answer you questions, the word "ho" wasn't around in 1961, when this song came out,; "whore" was, but it obviously couldn't be used publicly, so the "acceptable" word was "tramp;" The word "runaround" itself wasn't used that much, but the phrase "she 'runs around' a lot" was (and yes, it meant EXACTLY what you think it did . . .). Artists "back in the day" had to find all sorts of creative ways to say what they wanted to but still make it "acceptable" to society at large, and--as you can tell--they usually found ways to do it.

First, ignore my singing along, my dear. Second, please remember that in those days everything was based on "it has a beat and you can dance to it."

Had to pause at 4:35. I was laughing before you were laughing and we laughed together...but I still love this song and got up and danced! Paused at 5:27. No, we thought differently in those days. We thought of this a dating. She is not a girl who 'goes steady.' She gets a movie, dinner, and some jewelry or stuffed animals out of you and moves on. She is not going to marry you. There would be kissing and maybe, just maybe, some petting, but that is it. And, yes, hoe is new, whore was the word and it was a cuss word, she would be called a little town flirt. BTW, there is a song about a little town flirt. Of course you could say Runaround...it is in the title! The rest, no...well, in locker rooms, my dear. And if a girl 'slept around,' it was gossiped about by the other girls and she would not have friends, so she found consolation in guys. Some were ashamed but many were loud and proud. I had a friend, Suzie, who had a big butt and if some girl made fun of her so whirled around, looked them in the eye and said (I was senior in high school by then) "The bigger the tush, the easier the push" and walk off. And she was virgin. Also, every guy that dated and got dumped by Runaround Sue told the guys in the locker room that he scored. That was how girls got a bad rep in those days...male ego. Runaround Sue hit #1 in 1961. I was 15.

Until then, I shall be waiting with bated breath to hear from you! Happy listening! Peace out! 💗 Naomi

We always said those girls were fluzies, or loosy goosies. And I was a teenager in the sixties. Now I'm in my sixties.

She was just dating. Didn't say she was screwing around. 😌 She had no commitments right? He said he fell in loved with her. Didn't mean that they were dating or committed to each other. Great song! 😊

Remember this is Dion, you reviewed his song The Wanderer and said he was a player, now in this song the shoe is on the other foot!!!

[@leffew2000]

Dion did another song where he was the runaround. It's called the Wanderer, where he talks about ALL of his girls.

[@rosemariekury9186]

When this was popular, it just meant that she was fickle and flirted or dated a lot of other guys but not necessarily sexual. Think Dion wrote this and most of his other hits too. Probably was out about 1960 or so.

I think this song and Christmas (Baby Please Come Home) by Darlene Love have similar sounds because they are reflections of the time with influences from the late 50s and early 60s sounds of rock and roll and doo-wop.

Great song. React to Phil Collins, "I don't care anymore" and/or "In the air tonight".

[@ellenjones7819]

He reacted to "In the air tonight" in Oct 2018.

Definitely “I Don’t Care Anymore” !!

Another great oldie! Thanks!

I'm little young to remember but I know people who remember. Like television, radio had a lot of rules on what you can say in those days. The year was 1961. Heavy censorship. So runaround was better than saying Sleeparound. But people would use words like "slut" or "whore" when gossiping (about women like Runaround Sue) with close friends in private. There were a lot more social rules so people were generally more polite. Also girls spoke more freely with other girls. Guys were the same with other guys. Mixed company conversations were more censored.

I was 8 when this was released in 1961. I didnt have a clue what this was about then. 😁

[@asherdash12]

I love this song.

[@davidleland8729]

Great song from the past! Love it!

Dion used heroin in the early days but he found Christ, recovered and also made albums of Christian music. He outlived many of the early Rocker's and has been married to the same lady since was a young guy. I'd call him a Survivor.
