Normally, I wouldn’t discourage readers from taking a listen to a DJBooth feature, but this time I just feel I have to offer a word or two of warning: those who were planning on thinking any deep thoughts today might want to put off checking out G-Eazy‘s latest single, as its tune is almost guaranteed to set up shop in your head for the foreseeable future. Runaround Sue finds the Bay Area rapper-producer flipping a sample from Dion and the Belmonts’ doo-wop classic of the same name into an insanely catchy backdrop for bars dedicated to a female whose elegant exterior hides her true (skanky) nature. As he tells it: “When I smashed, she was like a woman from the past, a Mary Tyler Moore with more ass / Should’ve figured some when she let me score fast, but I was misguided, thought she had more class.” Complete with Greg Banks’ infectious chorus vocals, this compulsively hummable selection is just one of many dope selections to be found on the emcee’s Booth-sponsored The Endless Summer street album, available now for free streaming and download. Also, fans can peep Runaround Sue‘s official video accompaniment courtesy of DJBoothTV.

Five Star Justice! This is a WOW appropriation of both song, style, mixed with contemporary 'girl' -- rap - G Banks beautiful voice is up to this Dion classic. Leave it to G EAZY to pull off the unthinkable!

Great track. The production is top-notch, really great use of the original. Eazy really impressed me with his last couple tracks. Keep up the great work.

honestly, i love this song. I'm a huge fan of the original too so I'm surprised. The production is awesome, just as the rest of G-Eazy's production on his album. just awesome.
