The guy behind the smash hit "Cupid Shuffle" came thiiiiiis close to being GORED BY A BUKLL at a Texas rodeo ... and the entire crazy incident was caught on video.
Bryson "Cupid" Bernard -- whose 2007 hit "Cupid Shuffle" went double platinum -- was performing at the Humble Rodeo in Texas over the weekend when one of the bulls escaped from his pen.
Cupid -- who had his back turned to the bullpen -- heard the animal rushing toward him at the last minute ... and BEE LINED IT to safety.
Miraculously, he wasn't injured .
