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)

Nobody knows how old this song is, but no one can top the Animals version. In my top ten. Thin Lizzy's Whiskey in the Jar gets close.

An interesting version of a classic song. Definitely the most overplayed.
Eric Burdon!
IMO one of the best moments of british R&B
LOVE it
