Two DeBaser reviews celebrate Shampoo, a Neapolitan Beatles cover band formed in 1976. They are noted for translating Beatles songs into Neapolitan and for the albums In Naples (1980) and In Naples 1980/81. Reviews highlight humour, linguistic play and faithful musicianship. The coverage is affectionate and amused rather than strictly critical.

For:Fans of Beatles covers, Neapolitan-language music, novelty/tribute bands and collectors of regional cover albums.

 The Shampoo never took themselves too seriously, unlike the cover bands more genuine than the originals, that infest venues everywhere, preventing emerging groups from creating new musical expressions.
