The Walkers were a Danish glam rock band featuring singer-songwriter Torben Lendager, guitarist Gert Michelsen, drummer-lyricist Poul Dehnhardt and bassist Jan Kanstrup Hansen. The band was founded in 1968 and broke up in 1977. They made several comebacks after their initial breakup.

Walkers' hits include song "Little Kitty", which was covered in 2000 by another Danish band, Creamy,[1] and "Sha-La-La-La-La", which was covered the same year by Vengaboys,[2] and also in 1974 by Cantopop band the Wynners.
