@ewe2Don’t you think it’s its perfect complement? For me they’re still part of the same song…

We have a thread for that: Where Does “Cry Baby Cry” End?
I meant the emotional effect of the juxtaposition, not the juxtaposition itself 
That is indeed a topic for another thread. It works very well.

I think –IMHO– that the reason it works so well is because Cry Baby Cry is an open-ended song, its melody leaves us hanging, waiting for more. And Can You Take Me Back, though totally different, is the perfect ending. And it’s a topic for this thread: it’s another surprising Beatle musical moment.

Offline I agree @Oudis it is surprising, again it’s the “random” they really liked (and Ian MacDonald so disliked) as a technique. But for a different surprise, who else only began listening closely to the backing of Ob-La-Di, Ob-La-Da after hearing the giggled “ring”?

Offline McCartney played Ob La Di at his concert last week, and one of his bandmates very specifically sang the “ring” – I think maybe the drummer, Abe Laboriel, or Brian Ray.
I got a kick out of that.
