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 1% of all tracks on BestEverAlbums.com. This track has a Bayesian average rating of 86.7/100, a mean average of 85.7/100, and a trimmed mean (excluding outliers) of 86.8/100. The standard deviation for this track is 11.9.

I like this - possibly more than I think!? It is a sound song well delivered with a nice climb. Perhaps it suffers from following I Am The Walrus? How can those two songs even appear on the same record without it being a compiliation?
What McCartney does best . Catchy irresistible melody. His vocal sounds a bit like Tiny Tim on this one. Can't help but smile when I hear this.

Aquele hino de verão!
It isn't awful, but its just kinda bland and sticks out as not being as good as other beatles songs.
Very good song
Another brilliant example of how Paul McCartney can take the most simple and childish of lyrics and turn it into a brilliant pop song. Insanely catchy, and the perfect foil to John Lennon's I am the walrus, the B-side to the Hello Goodbye single. Like Strawberry fields forever/penny lane, it would have made a stunning double A side.

Super catchy. I wish they would have sped it up though.
