It's Big Daddy

If you youtube them, you can find a few other choice versions of things.

It's also worth hunting out their "back story"

There's a "reason" (fictional of course)as to why they play 80's songs in a 50's style.

They can be a bit wearying but in small doses they are very amusing. Some of their material is genius. Their version of "Do You Really Want to Hurt Me?" is so spot-on it sounds like it could be off the soundtrack of American Graffiti. I also love their version of Van Halen's "Jump" as done by Eddie Cochran.

They put out about four lp's, all impossible to get now, but worth searching for.

The weird thing now is they are a double time jump. Back to the 80's songs and THEN done in a 50's style. Your appreciation of them tends to be limited to how familiar you are with the 50's elements of the song. "Hey, that's Jerry Lee!" I love them.
