"Splish Splash" is a 1958 #novelty #rockSong performed and co-written by #BobbyDarin. It was written with DJ #MurrayTheK (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.

I remember this 1967 #MurrayTheK show at the #BrooklynFox theater like it was yesterday. I remember that my friends and I had never heard of #TheWho or #Cream. We became forever fans afterwards.
We went to earlier shows that he put on there that were mostly soul and Motown.
