Here they are, the Neapolitan Fab Four, or Giorgio Verdelli's Shampoo, Beatles cover band, this is a godsend: lyrics and subtleties that would embarrass Frank Zappa (with all due respect to that absolute masterpiece "Tengo na minchia tanta"). 

A display of the (many) slangs of the Neapolitan language that goes hand in hand with the stylistic mixtures reproduced here, a masterpiece of subconscious irony, Nino d'Angelo is there taking notes.

How can you not love E' zizze (day tripper); Pepp (help) with the splendid ending Peppiiii uuuuuhhhh uuuuhhhh; chist' è o' scià (twist and shout) and others: even today they are called the Neapolitan baronets, it's a pity that the lyrics are practically unavailable: essential.

Rejoice, people.
