A cheap songwriter was hired to re-write this classic, sung by Bobby Darin, to make it appeal to modern audiences.
However, the new lyrics were judged a complete and total failure.
I wonder how this songwriter even stays employed. If he's not careful, he's going to find himself out of
work.
"Splish Splash" was written with radio DJ Murray "Murray the K" Kaufman, who bet Darin that he could not write a song
that started out with the words "Splish Splash, I was takin' a bath", as suggested by Murray's mother.
