Things was a song written by Bobby Darin in 1962. It reached #3 in the U.S., and #2 in the UK.

In 1962, Darin also began to write and sing country music, with hit songs including Things (U.S. #3) (1962). It was the final Darin single released on the Atco Records unit of Atlantic Records before he began recording for Capitol Records. While vault material would continue to be issued on Atco, Darin would later return to Atlantic Records. The song was sung by Dean Martin and Nancy Sinatra in the 1967 TV special: Movin' With Nancy, starring Nancy Sinatra, which was released to home video in 2000.[1]

Other songs from that period: "You're the Reason I'm Living" (U.S. #3), and "18 Yellow Roses" (U.S. #10). The latter two were on Capitol Records, which Darin joined in 1962, before returning to Atlantic four years later.
