The Beatles scoured record shops etc in Hamburg for everything they could find. They searched out old records everywhere. He who has the best record collevction writes the best songs (Keith Richards). McCartney may well have heard the Neapolitan song. It matters. Credit where credit is due, though he may have forgotten it by 1965. The Beatles listened to a lot of classical music, heaps, and also a lot of modern jazz. They sought it out, as any brilliant songwriter does when he is 19 or 20. But I haven't heard the song yet! I love Neapolitan songs anyway ....
