Unsuccessful in finding any more details about who 'The Octobers' or 'Dave & Larry' were. I would guess 'The Octobers' are the backing band and 'Dave & Larry' are the male singers, who is answering the 'Foolish Little Girl'.
There might be additional details in "Response Recordings: An Answer Song Discography, 1950-1990" by B. Lee Cooper, Wayne S. Haney. I was fortunate to request the title through inter-library loan -- though I'll be surprised if it the book has anything beyond the basic details for the majority of obscure releases.
