Note, everybody. Recorded at Abbey Road. The studio's musical direction for this kind of novelty recording was handed over to a young man called Geoge Martin.. you may remember he had some later claims to fame. Thank you, Sir George. RIP.
The best thing that happened to The Beatles was being turned down by all the major record labels and ending up in the hands of George Martin. Only he could have drawn out their innate genius.
What a combination the most sultry italian godess and englands greatest comic, love at first sight. Sophia has a real flair in what is sellars space, he makes her laugh which makes her all the more desirable truly great stuff, italian feminine mastery at its best
What a crazy song. If I was married to Sophia Loren, I wouldn't waste time complaining about her cooking, much less desiring English food over Italian! lol
This echos the attitude to foriegn food that was around at the time of release. Garlic was almost seen as poison by some people in the fifties ! . Thank you for this x x
'Droppo deade' and 'Shut up or I'll give you pastasciutta' are the only parts that may be difficult to understand, if you're an English speaker that is.
What Sophia actually says in the recording, is, "Shut up, or I'll give you a punch up the throat"..(said, "froat"). It was a rather violent but none rhe less popular saying at the time.. (I think it was somebody's catchphrase).. ... mostly, but not always, said in jest.
@@Bravie2001 Even the Archbishop of Genoa once said that although the Vatican opposed human cloning, "an exception might be made in the case of Sophia Loren".
Such an offensively english song. Edit: I am english I mean no offense. The idea of an englishman going to fascist italy, marrying a girl he met there then complaining about her cooking italian food for the next few decades is humorous and kind of almost believable in an exaggerated sort of way.
