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 has a Bayesian average rating of 77.2/100, a mean average of 75.9/100, and a trimmed mean (excluding outliers) of 77.6/100. The standard deviation for this track is 11.4.

I surprisingly really like this song, because its extremely ridiculous. The song is supposed to be dirty, but compared to modern standards portrayed in music, it seems like a medieval standard of sexual fantasy. Although it is ridiculous, I think that it works for the song. The song is fun to listen to and someone how "All I ever wanted in the world; Was just to live to see a naked girl" is more memorable than most other lyrics on this album.
Completely captures the spirit of those old doo-wop songs you used to love!

A lot of hard work happens in the background to keep BEA running, and it's especially difficult to do this when we can't pay our hosting fees :(
