Good trick with the sunglasses! Rocky Sharpe & The Replays - Rama Lama Ding Dong, 1979. It was a cover version of a song originally released in 1958 by The Edsels.

'Rocky Sharpe' himself, lead singer Robert Podsiadly, died 5 December 2019.

Below is the band's cover of Looking for an Echo from 1981. A few different groups have covered this and made their own changes to the lyrics. In this version, near the beginning, Rocky mentions Griff, Den, Johnny and Slick. Johnny is probably Johnny Stud (real name Jan Podsiadly, brother of Robert and also one of the Replays). The others are references to Griff Fender, Den Hegarty and Rita Rey (who was also nicknamed Slick). They had all been members of precursor group Rocky Sharpe & the Razors and, when that group split, they formed Darts.
