I heard a cracking version of Mony Mony last night by The Mohawks
I assume that you already have this on original vinyl?

I have their LP but it's a bootleg

Fascinating fact:
The sleeve notes on the Mohawks LP refer to mysterious band leader and organist Morris Hawk. This character was entirely fictional – in reality it was the work of Alan Hawkshaw, best known perhaps for his seminal track ‘Chicken Man’ – more commonly known as the original Grange Hill theme tune. Thus returning back to the ‘theme tunes’ question rather neatly.

Bonus fact: the Grange Hill theme was also the theme music for the first series of Give Us A Clue with terminal homo Lionel Blair.
Bonus fact II: ‘Chicken Man’ was the last tune played at every gig by seminal 80s psych legends Electric Head Funk.

Alan Hawkshaw is the king of theme tunes
But the question on nobody's lips is: When is the Electric Head Funk reunioun tour?

I cut and paste it from your post.

There is no reason on earth
why a band of 16-year-old hippies from Winchester who disbanded in 1989 having recorded nothing apart from a couple of cassettes would be listed on the internet...
