The Royal Teens was a New Jersey rock and roll band that formed in 1956, which was composed of Bob Gaudio on piano, Tom Austin on drums, Billy Dalton on guitar, and Billy Crandall on saxophone. The group is best known for its single Short Shorts, which was a #3 hit in the United States in 1958. The follow-up single, 1959's Believe Me, hit #26. They never recorded an album, and broke up in 1965.
The theme song for the movie, âGidgetâ, was released in 1959 and climbed as high as #41 on the U.S. charts. The song was composed by Fred Karger with lyrics written by Patti Washington, and it was sung by none other than James Darren, who appears as a star in the movie as a surfer named Moondoggie. Here is a picture of James Darren, singer of the song, next to Sandra Dee, the star of the movie.
