<P> Splish Splash was recorded in a session at New York's Atlantic Studios on the evening of April 10, 1958 . The personnel on the original recording included Jesse Powell on tenor sax, Al Caiola, Billy Mure on guitar, Wendell Marshall on bass, and Panama Francis on drums . </P> <P> Original copies of "Splish Splash" (Atco 6117) feature echo in the song . For the reissue (Atlantic Oldies Series 13055), the echo is filtered out . </P> <P> The lyrics mention several characters from other songs of the period, including "Lollipop", "Peggy Sue", and "Good Golly Miss Molly". </P> <P> However, in an interview, former classmate Jerrold Atlas claimed that "Miss Molly" referred to Molly Epstein, Darin's former English teacher at the Bronx High School of Science . "She taught him to use the language in staccato notes: short fast, words...She was very fond of Bobby . Bobby told me she sharpened his respect for language". </P>
