Connie Francis 本名為 「Concetta Rosemarie Franconero」，出生於1932 年的美國紐澤西州，與 Sarah Vaughan 一樣生長在Newark City，從她的姓氏可知道她應當是來自義大利移民的家庭。Connie早在1941年3歲的時候已唱歌表演﹐自小喜愛唱歌﹐而且也公認擁有一把甜美的聲音﹐於是姑媽及老師都非常鼓勵她作歌手。她四歲就在大廣場演唱，據說晚會主持人完全不相信一個連十歲都不到的小鬼可以登台表演，還試圖將她從表演名單除名，不過，Connie 的父親不斷遊說力保他女兒登台。當晚，還有其他年紀較長的兒童演出，不過不是怯場就是唱不下去而紛紛下台，當輪到 Connie Francis 上台時，年紀小小的她身上掛了一個小型的手風琴，毫不費力而且大聲宏亮地唱出義大利民謠「O Sole Mio」，唱畢，所有的聽眾鼓掌叫好，其熱烈的程度，讓 Connie Francis 必須待在舞台上繼續演唱來撫平聽眾熱烈的情緒，不然，她根本無法下台。



Connie Francis 對於歌唱的熱情一直持續到青少年時期，終於在十六歲也就是 1955 年拿到了跟 MGM 的唱片合約，出版首張單歌 Freddy，但是灌錄數張單曲仍成續平平﹐幸好Freddy也是MGM唱片總裁兒子的名字﹐他以此唱片送給兒子作為生日禮物。靜待兩年﹐直到1957年約滿前作最後一次錄音時﹐Connie父親提議女兒翻唱一首1923年的老歌Who’s Sorry Now﹐誰知此曲竟登上英國流行榜冠軍﹐而且當她介紹此曲給American Bandstand節目主持人 Dick Clark時﹐因著節目播映﹐瞬間被800萬人觀看過﹐而且歌曲直指向流行榜冠軍位置更令唱片銷售超過一百萬﹐自此Connie Francis便成為美國家庭家傳戶曉的名字。節目於1982年慶祝播出30年時﹐更特邀 Connie Francis再度現場獻唱。

Lyrics :
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 pickin' on me!

I can't do my homework and I can't see straight
I meet him every morning 'bout a half-past eight
I'm acting like a lovesick fool
You've even got me carrying his books to school
Hey, hey -- set me free
Stupid cupid, stop pickin' on me!

You mixed me up but good right from the very start
Hey, go play Robin Hood with somebody else's heart
You've got me jumping like a crazy clown,
And I don't feature what you're putting down
Since I kissed his lovin' lips of wine,
The thing that bothers me is that I like it fine!
Hey, hey -- set me free
Stupid cupid, stop pickin' on me!

You've got me jumping like a crazy clown,
And I don't feature what you're putting down
Since I kissed his lovin' lips of wine,
The thing that bothers me is that I like it fine!
Hey, hey -- set me free
Stupid cupid, stop pickin' on me!

Hey, hey -- set me free
Stupid cupid, stop pickin' on me!
