Splish Splash is a 1958 novelty rock song performed and co-written by Bobby Darin. It was written with DJ Murray the K (Murray Kaufman), who bet that Darin could not write a song that began with the words, "Splish splash, I was takin' a bath," as suggested by Murray's mother, Jean Kaufman. The song was credited to Darin and "Jean Murray" (a combination of their names) to avoid any hint of payola. It was Darin's first hit and the song helped to give him a major boost in his career, reaching number 3 on the US pop singles chart and number 2 on the R&B Best Sellers chart. THe song was Darin's only entry on the C&W Best Sellers in Stoes chart, where it peaked at number 14. This single is in Very Good Plus condition.
