Who Wears Short Shorts?
Bob Gaudio wrote his big hit “Short Shorts” while with the Royal Teens during the 50’s. However, it became huge again about thirty years later when the Nair hair removal lotion used it as a jingle for their commercials. Thus, the song became popular in pop culture again.
Named After A Bowling Alley
Now, what sparked their name change from The Four Lovers to The Four Seasons? The band auditioned for a bowling alley in 1961, but didn’t get the gig. So, as Bob Gaudio said, “We figured we’ll come out of this [the audition] with SOMETHING, so we took the name of the bowling alley.” Thus, the band became The Four Seasons, named after that Union, New Jersey bowling alley.
