"Runaround Sue" is a pop song, originally a US No. 1 hit for the singer Dion during 1961. The song ranked No. 342 on Rolling Stone magazine's list of "The 500 Greatest Songs of All Time".
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 topped the Billboard Hot 100 for one week in October of that year, and also reached number 11 in the UK charts.
It is a song about a man whose ex-girlfriend had commitment trouble and "ran around" (hence the name of the song) "with every single guy in town". The song caught on with millions for its catchy backing hook "Hey, hey, hum-ba-diddy-diddy".
