An instrumental studio jam at the end of the album, this song was titled for The Who's bass player, John Entwistle, who was nicknamed "The Ox" for his strong constitution and ability to out-eat and out-drink the other band members. Considering that this song is both powerful and features an amazing bass lead, it is fitting that it's named after him.
Session man Nicky Hopkins played the piano. Because it was an improvised jam, he got a writing credit along with Pete Townshend, Keith Moon and John Entwistle.
Bass player John Entwistle named his side band The Ox.
