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 65.8/100, a mean average of 64.2/100, and a trimmed mean (excluding outliers) of 65.2/100. The standard deviation for this track is 18.6.

I love it. Silly - sounds like it could be Monty Python. It is a great wee tune too

A funny outro but not to much more. :)

Really? A 67? That's harsh for a band just to have some fun by putting a song like this in an album. There are many other songs much deserving a 67 rather than this one.
How does one bring a great album down? By putting on it a Baker song & ending it with something stupid like this. Really awful this one.

It's just a funny little ending to an album full of great songs

Funny ending. Like they ended in the 'funny' stage of their trip. :P
Humorous, but kida sad.

The intro with all three members singing makes me want to go down to a bar with friends to drink and sing together. Love the humorous way to close the album.

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 :(
