Måneskin’s VersionĪ couple of other artists have covered it to even greater overall success. One is a Norwegian group called Madcon, whose edition came out in 2007.Īnd then there is Måneskin, who dropped their cover in 2017. They featured it on X Factor Italia, with the quartet being contestants on the popular reality competition at the time. Ultimately they came in second place, but they proved popular enough to release an EP that same year entitled Chosen. And said EP features a number of songs they covered while participating on X Factor Italia, including Beggin’. The Four Seasons were the first musicians to drop a version of “Beggin’” back in 1967. And their rendition did manage to make it onto the top 20 of the Billboard Hot 100. This song was written by Peggy Santiglia and Bob Gaudio. The latter was a member of a group known as The Four Seasons. Perhaps presenting himself as the latter is his way to try to evoke sympathy from the apple of his eye.īut regardless as to the reason why she doesn’t want him at the moment, that fact still remains that she is indeed snubbing him, at least as far as being his lover is concerned. So by the looks of things, the vocalist will continue to ‘beg’ the addressee to be his lady until she finally gives in. But at others, he reads more like a genuine victim of unreciprocated love. That is to say that at one point in the song, he comes off as being a dude who messed up the relationships with his significant other. So again, it’s not exactly clear what’s going down here, besides the singer clearly wanting the person whom he is singing to. But in that particular passage, he also seems to be putting forth that it is actually the addressee who is missing out by not accepting his love. Indeed in the third verse he gets philosophical, seemingly questioning the human tendency to not appreciate “good sh-t” when we have it.
