Serious Contenders: Dion, "Runaround Sue"



Nothing's more rock and roll than lamenting a heartbreaking chick. It's hard to imagine, in 2011, that a vocalist could ask you to brace yourself to find out that she goes........ "out with other guys!!" This song is a damn rocker, with those wicked "Heyp, heyp, bum, da heyda-heyda-heyp!" backing vocals and that fanfare "Awwwww" from the Belmonts. There's also a pretty notable double-standard at work here, since this was the guy who recorded "The Wanderer."
