"Sherry Darling" is a song by American singer-songwriter Bruce Springsteen from his fifth studio album The River. Originally written for his previous album, 1978's Darkness on the Edge of Town, the song was rejected for not fitting that album's somber tone. The song's frat crowd noises were meant to evoke early rock and roll songs like "Louie, Louie," which similarly had loud incidental crowd noises.
