Splish, splash! (Bobby Darin. 1958)

Una de las mejores voces del swing, del rock, de la música del siglo pasado. Bobby Darin, una vez más, condensando el rock y el swing en un estilo propio pero ésta vez en su lado más roquero. Fue en 1973 cuando bobby Darin ofreció su último concierto poco antes de su inesperada muerte. Aquí cantó su primer gran éxito titulado "Splish, splash!" que en 1958 enloqueció a las juventudes que bailaban al ritmo del rock and roll pero que no contenía la verdadera esencia de Darin. Bobby Darin empleó su carrera en condensar el swing de Sinatra y el rock de Elvis y el resultado fue electrizante. Aquí interpreta al piano su primer éxito "Splish, splash!"



"Splish, splash" (letra original)...traducirla sería poco serio...
Splish splish, I was takin' a bath
Long about a Saturday night
A rub-a-dub, just relaxin' in the tub
Thinkin' everything was alright
Well, I stepped out the tub, put my feet on the floor
I wrapped the towel around me and I
Opened the door, and then I
Splish, splash... I jumped back in the bath.
Well how was I to know there was a party going on?

They was a-splishin' and a'splashin'
Reelin' with the feelin', movin' and a'groovin'
Rockin' and a'rollin', yeah

Bing bang, I saw the whole gang
Dancin' on my living room rug, yeah!
Flip flop, they was donin' the bop
All the teens had the dancin'
But there was lollipop with a Peggy Sue
Good Golly, Miss Mally was-a even there, too!
A- well-a, splish splash, I forgot about the bath
I went and put my dancin' shoes on, yay...

I was a rollin' and a strollin', reelin' with the feelin',
Moving and a groovin', splishin' and a splashin', yeah!

Yes, I was a-splishin'' and a splashin'...
I was a-rollin' and a-strollin'...

Yeah, I was a-movin' and a-groovin'
We was a-reelin' with the feelin'
We was a-rollin' and a-strollin'
Movin' with the groovin' splish splash, yeah!
