Darin was a very special and talented entertainer. He was a Grammy award winning singer ('Mack The Knife'), a respected member of the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame ('Dream Lover', 'Splish Splash', 'If I Were A Carpenter') a member of the Songwriters Hall of Fame, a successful record producer, an Oscar nominated actor and a strong supporter of the American Heart Association. Bobby was married to actress Sandra Dee from 1960-1967. They had one son, Dodd, born in December 1961. As a result of complications from a rheumatic heart, Bobby's life was tragically cut short in 1973.
Darin's mother, Vanina Cassotto, had given birth to him when she was 16, and as a result, her parents raised Darin as though he were their son while Vanina was presented off as his elder sister. Darin did not learn the truth about his parentage until he was 32.

I Ain't Sharin' Sharon
Bobby Darin Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
I'm gonna keep her all to myself
She's gonna be just mine alone
Don't you even call her on the telephone
Oh, Sharon
My Sharon
Uh huh huh
Uh huh huh
I ain't sharin'Sharon with no other guy
You better kiss all your hopes goodbye
I'm gonna stick with her night and day
So she won't have a chance to stray
Oh, Sharon
My Sharon
Uh huh huh
Uh huh huh
I ain't sharin' Sharon, so don't waste your time
I don't talk to your girl, don't you talk to mine.
Since she kissed me by the schoolyard fence
Ooh! Every time I talk I don't make sense
Oh, Sharon
My Sharon
The lyrics to Bobby Darin's song "I Ain't Sharin' Sharon" seem to be a declaration of love and possessiveness towards a woman named Sharon. The singer makes it clear that they will not share Sharon with anyone else, not even other men. They claim that Sharon is theirs alone, and no one should even call her on the phone. The singer plans to stick with Sharon day and night to ensure that she doesn't have a chance to stray. The final verse seems to suggest that Sharon's kiss has left the singer so lovesick and infatuated that they are unable to talk coherently.
The song can be interpreted in different ways, depending on the listener's perspective. On one hand, the lyrics can be seen as a proclamation of a fiercely devoted love towards Sharon. The singer wants to protect her and keep her all to themselves, showing a strong commitment to their relationship. On the other hand, the lyrics can also be interpreted as a possessive and controlling attitude towards Sharon, where the singer doesn't respect her autonomy and agency. The song's upbeat tempo and catchy melody stand in contrast to its lyrics, which suggest a darker and more complex emotional landscape.

My oldest brother Jimmy had this 1960 Bobby Darin album that I remember when I was about 7 or 8 years old, I would lip sync the songs & pretend I was Bobby Darin. This was my favorite song from this album!!!
