The inspiration for the catchy chorus for this song came when the band members saw two girls walking down the street in Bergenfield, New Jersey.  Who doesn't like very short cutoff jeans on a shapely young lady on a sunny summer day?  Seriously.

This 1957 rock and roll hit by The Royal Teens, a band from New Jersey, was written and performed by Tom Austin, Bill Crandell, Bill Dalton, and Bob Gaudio. It became a major success in 1958, reaching #3 on the U.S. pop chart and #2 on the R&B chart.  It's got an old school classic boogie woogie beat and Jersey accented vocals too.
