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 8% of all tracks on BestEverAlbums.com. This track has a Bayesian average rating of 79.7/100, a mean average of 78.6/100, and a trimmed mean (excluding outliers) of 79.7/100. The standard deviation for this track is 13.2.

Otra pieza más de sonoridad pueril, pero quizá más brillante en sus hechuras que la mucho más conocida Ob-la-di, ob-la-da
Undoubtedly a track that works better in the context of the White Album.
Kind of a tale of two cities in a sense for me as I think the verse sections are interestingly mysterious and how they are transitioned back into out of the chorus is brilliant. However, the choruses and the unimaginative transition into them bring this track down for me.
One of the songs on the White Album that has its roots in India. John wrote it to mock Richard "Rik" Cooke III, a young rich American who visited the Maharishi with his mother. When Rik and his mother set out on elephants to hunt tigers, John became very hostile towards them. The backing vocals in the chorus of the song were provided by Ringo's wife Maureen and John's girlfriend Yoko Ono, who also sang one line of the verse, making her the only person outside the Beatles who ever provided lead vocals for a Beatles song.
It's like Rocky Racoon, but not as good.
Great sond, but I am not a fan of the cheesy, folky chorus...and Yoko
Cool chorus with the always off pitch voice of Yoko Ono :D
Inspired by a tiger hunter and his mother who were staying at Rishikesh the same time as the Beatles in early 1968, this is one of the fab four's few protest numbers, albeit delivered in a slightly comic way. A kind of serious children's song, if there is such a thing.
Sorry Yoko Ono, ahaha, very good song, and great guitar and bass rhythm
Haha Yoko Ono.. this is an excellent folk rock song though.
