  • Stupid Cupid you're a real mean guy
    I'd like to clip your wings so you can't fly
    I'm in love and it's a crying shame
    And I know that you're the one to blame
    Hey hey, set me free
    Stupid Cupid stop picking on me

    I can't do my homework and I can't think straight
    I meet her every morning 'bout half past eight
    I'm acting like a lovesick fool
    You've even got me carrying your books to school
    Hey hey, set me free
    Stupid Cupid stop picking on me

    You mixed me up for good right from the very start
    Hey now, go play Robin Hood with somebody else's heart

    You got me jumping like a crazy clown
    And I don't feature what you're putting down
    Well since I kissed her loving lips of wine
    The thing that bothers me is that I like it fine
    Hey hey, set me free
    Stupid Cupid stop picking on me

    You got me jumping like a crazy clown
    And I don't feature what you're putting down
    Well since I kissed his loving lips of wine
    The thing that bothers me is that I like it fine
    Hey hey, set me free
    Stupid Cupid stop picking on me

    Hey hey, set me free
    Stupid Cupid stop picking on me Writer/s: Howard Greenfield, Neil Sedaka

  • Barry from Sauquoit, NyOn August 27th 1958, "Stupid Cupid" by Connie Francis was at #22 on Billboard’s Hot Top 100 chart; a little under a month later on September 22nd, 1958 it would peak at #17 {for 2 weeks} on the Top 100 and it stayed on the chart for 14 weeks…

    On September 14th, 1958 it peaked at #14 {for 1 week} on Billboard’s Best Sellers chart…

    Exactly three years later on August 27th, 1961 Ms. Francis appeared as the 'mystery guest’ on the CBS-TV weekly-quiz show 'What's My Line?'*...

    * And then exactly ten years later on August 27th, 1971 Bennett Cerf, who was a panelist on 'What's My Line?' from 1951 to 1971, passed away at the age of 73.
