[Song Snippet]: Boys, by Luther Dixon and Wes Farrell, as sung by the Beatles
I been told when a boy kiss a girl
He takes a trip around the world
Hey, hey, (bop shoo wa 'n' bop bop shoo wa)
Hey, hey, (bop shoo wa 'n' bop bop shoo wa)
Hey, hey, (bop shoo wa 'n' bop shoo wa)
Yeah, she say you do. (bop shoo wa)
My girl says when I kiss her lips
Gets the thrill through her fingertips. (whoa ho!)
Hey, hey, (bop shoo wa 'n' bop bop shoo wa)
Hey, hey, (bop shoo wa 'n' bop bop shoo wa)
Hey, hey, (bop shoo wa 'n' bop bop shoo wa)
Yeah, she say you do. (bop shoo wa)
Well, I talk about boys, (yeah, yeah, boys)
Don't you know I mean boys? (yeah, yeah, boys)
Well, i talk about boys now, (yeah, yeah, boys)
Ah, boys…

The song is called 'boys'. The boy singing is called Ringo. He's called Ringo because of his passion for wearing lots of rings. Ringo is the most recent addition to the group and he's also the oldest member. Ringo’s friends call him Richie, a name he picked up in Dingle, one of the toughest areas of Liverpool. Often compared to New York's storied "Hell's Kitchen", the cobble streets and ancient buildings which surrounded his terraced home didn't hide the bomb craters which were left there in 1940, the year of Ringo’s birth. Richie went to St. Silas school in Dingle but dropped out at the age of six because of appendicitis. He had complications which resulted in hospitalization for a year. Recovering, he went back and started all over again. But at the age of thirteen, a cold got away from him and he developed pleurisy while on a trip to London. Rushed back to his Liverpool home, he spent another year in hospital. That ended schooling and Ringo went to work in an engineering company. In 1959, around Christmas time, Ringo got his first drum kit. He was eighteen at the time
