Bobby Darin: Splish Splash (take 1)

[klarebear7211]

the awkward moment when you get out of the bathtub and theres a party in your house

[Alikah1]

@klarebear7211 Sort of thing that happens on a regular basis, is it?

[boykorda]

[candaisthebest]

[GravelGrunt]

I'd forgotten how much he was influenced by Jerry Lee Lewis.

[TheClublemon]

SPLISH SPLASH I HATE MATHS!!!!

[TheRheaLouie]

I remember dancing to this when I was 2 years old. almost 18 years ago now.

[redrover327]

Trivia Challenge:

If you can guess who wrote this song, you win a prize.

[RockinMichel]

@redrover327 I believe Bobby Darin wrote it himself when urged to do so by Murray Kaufman.

[MollEliza]

My mother would sing this to me when I was a baby. My name is Molly and she would sing Good Golly Miss Molly too ^.^

[HorseyNO]

i wish i grew up during this time

[GravelGrunt]

@HorseyNO I did. :)

[disneydanny2]

what happened to the other takes? also do any of you who have heard this notice how the tune bears a striking resemblance to "Wipeout"??

[unseen1107]

we have to sing this song in select chorus hahaahlike it

[MrPeperonio]

@unseen1107 what school?

[unseen1107]

My Home Boy !!! Just sayinnn..

[Lizziesaurs]

my chorus had to sing this last year. . . . .and we had a dance to it. Lets just say a lot of my friends quiet chorus the next year.

[mismack73]

Could not agree more with AmericanEvita! I was born in the early 70's but this kind of music is what I grew up on!! Love it!!!

[bellgardens53]

Classic one. ;O)

[TACYELLA11]

lol,wheres my rubber ducky?!

[13music13music13]

i cant find the original version of this.........this is close enough

[MrRahmEmanuel]

@13music13music13 This is the original. Murray Kaufman bet Bobby that he couldn't write a song that started with "Splish Splash, I was taking a bath."

[13music13music13]

@MrRahmEmanuel lol thats sooo funny XD

[joeslaughter01]

Thanks for posting this. Always makes me laugh to hear this song.

[bigmol69]

The Master,My Idol,the truly outstanding Bobby Darin,I love performing his songs to keep his spirit alive

[Danica760]

[CatLoverGirly]

I wish I could come up with something as brilliant as that. All my songs are to slow and serious. You have to have fun singing and not be to serious

[CatLoverGirly]

I wish I could come up with such a brilliant song like that. All the songs I write are always to slow and serious.

[yomaster12345]

What a fun song. :3

[london2z]

In the final take, the sax parts were a lot more jazzed up, I thought. I'm glad they re-did it. In this take, the sax sounded dead.

[olgakayy]

i love this song!!!!!!

[olgakayy]

i love this song!!

[NorbergHenny]

I can't take this serisouly :(

[Kedorlaomerist]

@NorbergHenny You are not suppose to take Splish Splash serious, its call fun. something the songs today don't know a thing about.

[CTNWB]

Wes and I have had your video on our blog WES BRYAN - MY LIFE IN MUSIC (on Google) since 2007... Thank you again and we've just embedded the new Youtube code and would love to hear from you! Christine

[Katrinasmommy1]

i thought the first one to do this song was jerry le luis

[Ronda74017]

mother use to sing this to the twins when they were laying side by side in the tub...she was the only one that could give them two a bath without them screaming.

[bobu46]

It's simply a great DARIN song and I like it very much !

And an answer for " p12psicop " : Your silly remark " Rock n Roll is the devil's music " is heard around the whole world, but in the  50s and 60s - and not nowadays - and please notice ; Our Lord has created naked creatures - all of them - and he liked them all ! YOU need to get right with our LORD - sorry that I must say that this way ! Calm down and simply enjoy the music !!

[nyimtman]

The late great Panama Francis was the drummer on this recording.

[justmusicandme]

Bobby himself must not have been satisfied with this take - but it sounds great to me. Superior talent!

[madge88s]

What is this nonsense you speak of? Cleanliness is next to Godliness. he took what what was given him and rolled with it. We can only hope to do the same...

[p12psicop]

Rock n Roll is the devil's music. Singing about himself and his vile nakedness within a bathtub and his carrying on and splashing about! And then with the talk of the dancing and wild activity; it's enough to make me faint. That hooligan needs to get right with the Lord and bury his nose in the bible. Enough of this folly!

[kerj123456789]

@p12psicop ummmm...you know hes dead right?

[bobu46]

@p12psicop

No, you don't mean that, don't you - it's ironic  - and the LORD will bless you therefore!

[marbal05]

@p12psicop wtf......dude its a song, just listen and enjoy, and if u dont enjoy then i fell sorry for u

[katydid5088]

In my opion music now isn't good at all. Synthasized junk now is whats hip unless you like different music like myself.

[SuperMarkerComicBro]

This was the first song I ever heard like this when I was a kid. I heard it from Ernie from Sesame Street.

[buddyeagle]

No fake dude here, just the real music. I love it! Shake me baby!!!!

[89Wilde]

I love the idea of this event actually occuring. I mean, imagine going for a bath and opening the door to find that there is, in fact, "a party going on"! How did they get into his house?!

[blackkoala99]

funny

[madmar1000]

hold on to your memories ,even if people do not believe you ok,sometimes thats all we got

[bugsbunny159]

SPLISH SPLASH I WAS TAKING A BATH.

[sportygirl869]

[PUA1385]

I like this song, I've some cool songs on my channel, too.

[tvmember]

[Mcfluffer1]

[GETTINGYOUNGERONE]

Lovely 12 bar blues format.

[kingdarius5252]

omg i love this song! thanks for posting

[AmericanEvita]

This is perfection for just a FIRST TAKE! See, goes to show that singers and musicians used to really have a lot of talent. No artist today could sing this perfectly on a first take to a studio album. This is pure talent. Bobby Darin, the 50's rocked. I was not there in the 50's (I was born 1980) but I do love oldies and classic songs of the 20th century. The 20th century was better than today's lousy 21st century

[THEOFIRE99]

@AmericanEvita today ur family name gets u the job like this beibre

[CyCloppsProductions]

@AmericanEvita Please don't say that. You'll totaly discourage me from following my chosen career path. And I'm realy not joking....

[AzZkIcKr01]

is that OBAMA at 0:53 ?

[DanceroidCPTV]

Du du du diun...

[anatefcan13]

"Who'd have guessed that my first big hit would be a song I'd write in the studio, in less than ten minutes." (paraphrasing Bobby on this song). Bobby was the man.

[CuteZootSuit]

I was a-lickin' and a-suckin',

blowin' and a-fuckin'.....Woo!

LOL! LOL! LOL! LOL!

[aedaymude]

this song is so GAY!!!!!!!

[ybrik222]

@aedaymude

How so?

[CuteZootSuit]

@aedaymude The gayest.

[THECUB43]

Bobby was far better than Frank..he had more stage presence. better chrisma ..even sang better..Only Bobby didn't have the backing that Frank did..Bobby sand all the standards that frank sang......Much Better!!..Too sad tht Bobby died too young..we were cheated from his talant..R.I.P. Bobby Darin...

[acfinney]

@THECUB43 MR.SINATRA WAS INNOVATIVE. BOBBY WAS A COATTAIL RIDER. NOBODY COULD SING A TORCH SONG LIKE SINATRA. HE WAS A MUSICIAN. HE DIDN'T NEED STAGE PRESENCE. WHAT SHOULD I EXPECT FROM A DOOWOP FAN?

[ChopstickBrando]

Fine use of a Bronx High School of Science education...

No, just kidding. Bobby was boss.

[989dupa]

amazing super splish splash, the funniest song i ever heard! awesome song. splishing and a splashing

[Teenidol83]

This version is way better than the released version, sax is meaner, has more of a New Orleans feel, thanx for posting

[marquis0r]

good perfomance dude!

[prestodc]

I heard this song is based on real events...

[myshoescramp]

[MTaylor2439]

shit

[wookyhollow]

How did Charlie Drake come to record this? He did a good version though.

[yamydcr]

my school choir did this song and before we sang it, there was a act, and a fifth grader, he was holding a pillow and pretending to watch a move and he said "Mr.Snuggalbear, no, you can do it" and this fifth grader who was acting the mom and she told him to take a bath. Then the other fifth said "okay" and he got a radio and walked away with this song playing on the radio, then ,my choir sang a remix of this song

[babybash540]

i know how you couldove knew there was a party going on YOU MAYBE COULD HERE IT dummy

[Dellboyable]

@babybash540 its just a song dough

[sweetredredwine]

Splish Splash (TAKE ONE)

[xxPiratexQueenxx]

ahh i just realised this was originally created by césar et les romains, and it was a french song translated into english. theyyyYYY were from quebec. makes sense now

[xxPiratexQueenxx]

bobby darin was my dads neighbour . and he saw him perform in his garage. i think thats sick. it makes rouyn-noranda, quebec a bit cooler

[deerslolsmileyface]

i love this song

[animeluver4evah]

This song never gets old! It's AWESOME. It's like every generation's song. It's amazing...great job Bobby Darin!

[chloenoelsag]

this is funny

[shookfoil]

Meeting him...having him sign my autograph book and give me eye contact...is a very fond memory. This song brings another. In speech class in college, we had to take a rock song and do it as a dramatic reading. I chose this song. That was fun. "How was I to know there was a party going on?" she said, indignantly. Indeed!

[XtinaMimiLover14]

0:32 he looks like Kevin Spacey thumbs up if you agree with me!

[Jogiking]

good times....the best times

[56thAlbanyProd]

I first heard this song on the Happy Days record

[the1musiclad]

@BFFbaby5771 - haha (actually it's not funny)

it's teen girls like you that are responsible for the music now being so utterly devoid of any quality. i just went on your channel (i dont know why - i knew what i would get). a bunch of miley cyrus, taylor swift and other bubblegum nonsense.

btw for your information "girls just wanna have fun" (song that you "covered") is a cyndi lauper song not a miley cyrus song.

i wont criticise your singing cos your only 15 but.... :(

[BFFbaby5771]

i no cyndi lauper sang that song...but i was sining along to the MILEY CYRUS version, dont like her but i do like the song. i am not one of those kind of teen girls you talked about up there^^. i love the oldies, in fact i listen to pat benatar and cyndi lauper all the time. and btw im 13 not 15

[the1musiclad]

i REALLY don't want to argue with you but you ARE that type of teen i was talking about. believe me.
