Rating metrics:
Outliers can be removed when calculating a mean average to dampen the effects of ratings outside the normal distribution. This figure is provided as the trimmed mean. A high standard deviation can be legitimate, but can sometimes indicate 'gaming' is occurring. Consider a simplified example* of an item receiving ratings of 100, 50, & 0. The mean average rating would be 50. However, ratings of 55, 50 & 45 could also result in the same average. The second average might be more trusted because there is more consensus around a particular rating (a lower deviation).
(*In practice, some tracks can have several thousand ratings)
This track is rated in the top 2% of all tracks on BestEverAlbums.com. This track has a Bayesian average rating of 84.3/100, a mean average of 83.5/100, and a trimmed mean (excluding outliers) of 84.4/100. The standard deviation for this track is 11.7.

Contundente, si bien lejos del nivel de las más grandes del álbum, una heredera del cuerpo y el espíritu del Sgt. Pepper’s
Just like with "I Am the Walrus", John wrote this song mostly to confuse people who looked for hidden meanings in the songs of the Beatles. Maybe the most memorable line in the song is "the Walrus was Paul", which later helped fuel the "Paul is dead" theory.
Not a highlight of the album, but it's still a Beatles song.
I used to think nothing of this song, but it's slowly grown into one of my favorites, as well as one of the best off The White Album.
Nice track with a lot of references to old Beatles songs :)
Brilliant play on words, naming various Beatles songs, it's total nonsense really but works absolutely superbly in the context of the album. A thoroughly enjoyable track.
i love the strings in the last 30 seconds

An overlooked good song from Lennon. I love the references to Beatles' songs (The Walrus was Paul, Lady Madonna tryin' to make ends meet, I told you bout the Strawberry Fields).

Certainly the drummer in this song is Ringo, cause the 2 songs before are by McCartney as a drummer, great songs

Great song. The assortment of instruments makes this song as great as it is.
