Thanx for this one. Guess they were considered "short" for late 50's standards. Now they would almost be considered "long", eh?! Presently listening to their YT tracks @ their Discogs page (include "live" version of "Short Shorts") here:
I see "Short Shorts" by The Royal Teens, not as a one hit wonder, but forever as an essential part of The Cash Box Top 25 Best Sellers on February 22, 1958 - what a wonderful chart:
01 Don't - Elvis Presley 02 Get A Job - The Silhouettes 03 Short Shorts - The Royal Teens 04 Catch A Falling Star - Perry Como 05 Sail Along Silvery Moon - Billy Vaughn 06 Oh, Julie - The Crescendos 07 At The Hop - Danny & The Juniors 08 The Stroll - The Diamonds 09 You Are My Destiny - Paul Anka 10 26 Miles - The Four Preps 11 Sugartime - The McGuire Sisters 12 De De Dinah - Frankie Avalon 13 Witchcraft - Frank Sinatra 14 I Beg Of You - Elvis Presley (bw 1) 15 Oh-Oh, I Falling In Love Again - J. Rodgers 16 It's Too Soon To Know - Pat Boone 17 Are You Sincere - Andy Williams 18 Sweet Little Sixteen - Chuck Berry 19 Good Golly, Miss Molly - Little Richard 20 Who's Sorry Now - Connie Francis 21 Don't Let Go - Roy Hamilton 22 March From The River Kwai - Mitch Miller 23 Tequila - The Champs 24 Magic Moments - Perry Como (bw 4) 25 Stood Up - Ricky Nelson
