Splish, Splash, I Was Taking a Bath

When I saw this American Robin splish-splashing one morning in a backyard birdbath, I thought of Bobby Darin’s 1958 hit “Splish, Splash.” I hadn’t heard that song in a long, long time.

The rock and roll song reached number three on the US Billboard Charts. Bobby, whose real name was Walden Robert Cassotto, wrote the song along with Murray Kaufman.
