I wish B was disqualified, but they are called THE El Dorados, so I find no fault with them being allowed.
Anyway, A is more my thing.

First off, congrats to A for unearthing an American hit from 1961 that I'd never heard (of). In sound it's closer to Bobby Rydell, Bobby Vee and in fact all kinds of Bobbins Bobbies than the stuff I liked from that era. It's all right, in a sort of sounds of my youth way, but...
B is doo-wop - well, jump, to be precise - with a saxy middle eight and some falsetto warbling, so wins by several streets and a section of Interstate

Pleasantly clean pop, I could see/hear the Manc Monkee doing this.
El Dorados
El Dorado (pronounced [el doˈɾaðo], English: /ˌɛl dəˈrɑːdoʊ/; Spanish for "the golden one"), originally El Hombre Dorado ("The Golden Man") or El Rey Dorado ("The Golden King"), was the term used by the Spanish in the 16th century to describe a mythical tribal chief (zipa) of the Muisca people, an indigenous people of the Altiplano Cundiboyacense of Colombia, who, as an initiation rite, covered himself with gold dust and submerged in Lake Guatavita.
