Goodbye Cruel World (James Darren song)
1961 single by James Darren
"Goodbye Cruel World" is a song written by Gloria Shayne Baker and recorded by James Darren in 1961.[1][2]
Background
[edit]The song is about a man whose heart was broken by a "mean fickle woman", and his plan to join the circus as a brokenhearted clown. He does not mind being shot out of a cannon, and plans to tell the world that she "made a crying clown" out of him. According to disc jockeys at the time the song was released, the calliope-like riff used in the song based on the "Entrance of the Gladiators" theme, was a synthesized recording of a woman's voice rather than a musical instrument.[citation needed]
Chart history
[edit]Darren scored his first top ten hit on the U.S. Billboard Hot 100, at number three. On the Cash Box Top 100, it spent two weeks at number two.[3] It would prove the biggest hit of his career on this chart, as well as on the UK Sin
