"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 No. 3 on the U.S. pop singles chart, No. 2 on the R&B Best Sellers chart,[2] and No. 3 in Canada.[3] "Splish Splash" was Darin's only entry on the C&W Best Sellers in Stores chart, where it peaked at No. 14.[4] In a 1967 interview,[5] Darin claimed that he was so happy about having his first hit that his skin condition cleared up.[6]
