They named themselves after the popular crew cut haircut, one of the first connections made between pop music and hairstyle. While the crew-cut hair style came as a result of the name change, the original intent was that the name crew-cuts denoted the music they sang (pop) as opposed to Longhair (classical). They were most famous for their recording of The Chords "Sh-Boom."

The group moved from Mercury to RCA Records in 1958 and eventually broke up in 1964, but they all moved to the U.S. and reunited in Nashville, Tennessee, in 1977. In the 1990s they were inducted into the Juno Hall of Fame. In recent years, the three remaining members have appeared on a PBS special filmed in Atlantic City's Trump's Taj Mahal. The program. "Magic Moments: The Best of '50s Pop" continues to air as part of the fund raising efforts for the Public Broadcasting System.

The Crew-Cuts were

* Rudi Maugeri (January 21, 1931 - May 7, 2004) (baritone)
* John Perkins (born August 28, 1931) (lead)
* Ray Perkins (born November 28, 1932) (bass) (John Perkins' brother)
* Pat Barrett (born September 15, 1933) (1st or high tenor)

Johnson Rag
The Crew Cuts Lyrics

Johnson Flood Mississippi
Mud Black Bottom I got 'em
Lindy Hop Chop chop chop
Ch-ch-ch Charlotte Russe Turn on the juice

Hep Hep there goes the Johnson Rag
Hoy Hoy there goes the latest shag
Ho Ho it really isn't a gag
Hep Hep there goes the Johnson Rag
Jump Jump don't let your left foot drag

Jeep Jeep it's like a game of tag
Juke Juke it's even good for a stag
Jump jump and do the Johnson Rag

If your feelin' in the groove
It sends you out of the world
Funny how it makes you move
I don't wanna coax
But don't be a "Mokes"
Zig Zig Then add a Zig Zig Zag
Zoop Zoop just let your shoulders wag
Zoom Zoom and now it's right in the bag
Get hep And get happy with the Johnson Rag

Hep Hep There goes the Johnson Rag
Hoy Hoy there goes the latest shag
Ho Ho it really isn't a gag
Hep Hep There goes the Johnson Rag
Jump Jump Don't let your left foot drag
Jeep Jeep It's like a game of tag
Juke Juke It's even good for a stag
Jump jump And do the Johnson Rag

If your feelin' in the groove
It sends you out of the world
Funny how it makes you move
I don't wanna coax
But don't be a "Mokes"
Zig Zig then add a Zig Zig Zag
Zoop Zoop just let your shoulders wag
Zoom Zoom and now it's right in the bag
