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)

Apart from this song being inseparable from Tom Cruise's dance out and it being a karaoke standard. It lives on its rock 'n roll vibes. It rightfully does so. It came out amidst a punk and disco heavy era. It still so unapologetically swing you back to the 50's. straight forward great tune.
I almost gave this song three or four stars, but then I had to think about what it was when it first came out. It is a brilliant song that has unfortunately become a karaoke standard. That detracts from what it was when it first came out.
