The likely reason Frankie opted for "castrato" on the chorus of "Walk Like a Man" was that it stuck with the winning formula of "Sherry" and "Big Girls Don't Cry".
Very excellent and informative post FB. Back in the day we called such singles "formula songs", meaning an artist would follow-up a big hit with a similar sounding song. (Sometimes two singles later.)
Key examples are: the Kinks = they hit the top-ten with You Really Got Me, and followed that up with the similar sounding ADAAOTN.
The McCoys followed-up their #1 hit "Hang on Sloopy" with a cover of an old song "Fever", but they made it sound like HOS.
Jay & the Techniques' "Apples Peaches Pumpkin Pie" sounds so much like 2 singles later "Strawberry Shortcake".
The Knack's "Baby Talks Dirty" sounds almost identical to "My Sharona".
Whatever works I guess. 🤠
