April 6, 2023: The Music Hype: Bobby Darin, Splish Splash | Controversial Tunes
Splish splash, I was taking a bath / Long about a Saturday night.” Okay, so what, Bobby Darin (1936 – 1973)? “Well, I stepped out the tub, put my feet on the floor / I wrapped the towel around me / And I opened up the door.” Um, okay, still sounds like a totally, innocent bathing experience on “Splish Splash” from his 1958 album, Bobby Darin. Is there more that we need to know about bath time or you being naturally nude after the bath, Bobby? “Splish splash, I jumped back in the bath / Well, how was I to know there was a party going on?” Hmm, well, that begins to explain a bit of the controversy surrounding this no. 3 hit on the Billboard Hot 100, I suppose
