Crystal, Chiffon and Ronnette ("doo-wop girls") - Three women who hang out by the shop. They function as participants in the action and also as a Greek Chorus.

Their attitude clearly says, “We know something you don’t know.” They look and sound like a girl group, with synchronized movements and harmonies.
