Royal Teens
The Royal Teens were a New Jersey rock and
roll band that formed in 1956, consisting of Bob Gaudio on piano, Tom Austin on
drums, Billy Dalton on guitar, and Billy Crandall on saxophone. They are best
known for their single "Short Shorts", which was a #3 hit in the
The term "Short Shorts" was a
description Bob Gaudio and Tom Austin had given to the cutoff jeans teenage
girls were wearing during the summer of 1957. On that musically fateful afternoon,
Gaudio and Austin were driving up Washington Avenue in Bergenfield, New Jersey
in Tom Austin's red and white 1957 Ford Fairlane 500, trying to figure out what
to call the latest song they had written for their Rock and Roll band then
known as The Royals. Just then, two girls came strutting out of Luhmann's (the
local teenage sweet shop) wearing cutoff jeans that were cut so short they were
almost illegal. At that point, the song "Short Shorts" was born.
