- The 1234 doo-whop/punk combo is from France and they recorded and covered 12 Ramones songs or songs what Ramones had covered. Ramones tribute album The 1234 Sing Ramones was released by French label Rock Paradise.
Doo-whop/ doo-wop became popular in 50's and 60's and it is a style of vocal-based rhythm and blues music. Pop oriented style has smooth, consonant vocal harmonies. The 1234 has four members: Jacky Ramolli and Nano Ramolli are tenors, Bernardo Ramolli is baritone and Jesus Ramolli is alto.

Opening track She's The One is a great choice to doo-whop kind of style. The 1234 had lowered tempo in songs like I Wanna Be Sedated and in general it is pretty much version what they wanted to keep simple. Rockaway Beach is faster one in their rate. Most of the songs has frolicsome and as well tongue-in-cheek elements. The 1234 concentrated to early Ramones albums. Most new song is Daytime Dilemma (Dangers Of Love) from Too Tough To Die album.
