Bobby Darin (born Walden
Robert Cassotto; May 14, 1936 – December 20, 1973) was an American singer,
songwriter, multi-instrumentalist, and actor in film and television. He performed jazz, pop, rock and
roll, folk, swing, and country music.
He started his career as a
songwriter for Connie Francis. He recorded his first million-selling single,
"Splish Splash", in 1958. This was followed by "Dream Lover",
"Mack the Knife", and "Beyond the Sea", which brought him
worldwide fame. In 1962 he won a Golden Globe Award for his first film, Come
September, co-starring his first wife, Sandra Dee.
During the 1960s he became
more politically active and worked on Robert F. Kennedy's Democratic
presidential campaign. He was present on the night of June 4/5, 1968, at the Ambassador
Hotel in Los Angeles at the time of Kennedy's assassination. During the same year, he
discovered he had been raised by his grandmother, not his mother, and that the
girl he thought was his sister was actually his mother. These events deeply
affected Darin and sent him into a long period of seclusion.
Although he made a
successful comeback (in television) his health was beginning to fail, as he had
always expected following bouts of rheumatic fever in childhood. This knowledge of his
vulnerability had always spurred him on to use his musical talent while still
young. He died at the age of 37 following a heart operation in Los Angeles.
Did you hear the story 'bout old
Bullmoose?
He played piano, really tore it loose.
Whenever his heart was filled with gloom
He'd beat out a song in the old lunchroom.
All the guys and gals would gather 'round
Just to hear that Bullmoose sound.
Sayin'...
Go Bullmoose!
Go Bullmoose!
Go Bullmoose!
Go Bullmoose!
Bullmoose playin' on a Friday night
Two bad boys got up to fight.
One old man yelled, "Hey, keep quiet!"
The next thing you know they started a riot.
While everybody was-a jumpin' around
All you could hear was that Bullmoose sound.
Sayin'...
Go Bullmoose!
Go Bullmoose!
Go Bullmoose!
Go Bullmoose, a-turn 'em loose!
Bullmoose goin' to a party one day
Everybody asked him, "Won't you sit down and play?"
When all of a sudden the room began to shake
"Whoops!" he cried, "It's a real earthquake."
While the people were fallin' into holes in the ground
All you could hear was that Bullmoose sound.
Sayin'...
Go Bullmoose!
Go Bullmoose!
Go Bullmoose!
Go Bullmoose, come on Bullmoose!
Let me hear it like it is, Bullmo...
