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 is rated in the top 3% of all tracks on BestEverAlbums.com. This track has a Bayesian average rating of 83.1/100, a mean average of 82.5/100, and a trimmed mean (excluding outliers) of 83.3/100. The standard deviation for this track is 13.6.

The opening lines translated references masterbation
The main chorus translates to “ Let’s go play by the beach “ . Which follows the theme from the previous track “ Oh My Golly “ which is about sex on a beach
Love the guitar in this song!
Insane song.
Greatest song by one of the greatest bands. This song embodies the frenzy you hear in Pixies. Even when their masked with perfect pop guitar riffs, the insanity is just below. This song lets them let it fly.
Being a native spanish speaker, I'm not too much of a fan of the botched spanish lyrics. Not because I'm offended or anything, I just think it doesn't really sound good
