1. "Beyond The Sea"

The greatest karaoke song of all time.

Edited typo in subject line.

2. beyond the sea is the name of the movie being made

about bobby darin's life, starring kevin spacey. it should be out in 2004. all songs will be with darin's own voice as stated in his will

with beyond the sea, darin out-sinatraed sinatra

although his version of tim hardin's "if i were a carpenter" makes tears well up whenever i hear it.

darin is in the rock and roll hall of fame as both writer and performer.

he was a great talent and died well before his time. i am happy others remember him too.

4. Spacey will be a great choice to play Bobby..

I can't wait to see it. I can't believe how misty this thread is making me. As most know. "Kahuna" doesn't get misty easily.

This one brings tears to my eyes thinking about what a great artist Darin was and how much I miss him. I am literally choked up in tears right now.

5. Beyond the Sea

Is the bomb, the whip, the shit, the stuff, the ganj.

Might be some other lounge songs as good -- but there aren't any better.

6. More (Theme from Mondo Cano)

Can't believe this didn't make the list. This was a huge hit, and no one sang it like Bobby Darin.

9. It might have been a huge hit...

...but not by Bobby Darin. Due to space restrictions, my list only included Darin singles that made the national top ten.

10. "When the shark bites...."

Definitely "Mack the Knife." Ode to "The Three-Penny Opera." Impossible to listen to that song without snapping my fingers. Too cool a song.
