And in case you’re wondering, I’ve seen it done, and it works!īefore we can start generating phrases, we need the words. You know: list of first lines, list of second lines, list of third lines – join the dots between them and combine them anyhow you like, and voila! One perfect song lyric. If I can find enough, I can make a song generator.

Owing to the stiff critique my first ever song lyric faced, I decided to look for other words that are popular in songs. Wounded! In the Interests of Linguistics, Science and Music Writer(s): BERRY CHUCKLyrics powered by you writing a song? Would you like it to be really catchy? Why not go with what works for everyone, and use the most popular words found in hit songs? If you’re wondering whether there actually are words that songwriters continually resort to, it won’t take you long to hit on the word “love.” I have no idea how many songs contain that word, but I’m ready to bet they number in the tens of thousands, hundreds of thousands, or even millions!ĪLRIGHT ALREADY! I’ll stop! Please don’t hit me over the head again! I thought it was an absolutely brilliant lyric… My artistic sensibilities are wounded, I tell you.

Just let me hear some of that rock and roll music Any old way you choose it It's got a back beat You can't lose it Any old time you use it It's gotta be rock on music If you wanna dance with me If you wanna dance with me I have no kick against modern jazz Unless they try to play it too darn fast And change the beauty of the melody Until they sound just like a symphony That's why I go for that rock and roll music Any old way you choose it It's got a back beat You can't lose it Any old time you use it It's gotta be rock and roll music If you want to dance with me If you want to dance with me I took my loved one over cross the tracks So she can hear my man a wailin' sax I must admit they have a rockin' band Man, they were goin' like a hurricane That's why I go for that rock and roll music Any old way you choose it It's got a back beat You can't lose it Any old time you use it It's gotta be rock and roll music If you wanna dance with me If you wanna dance with me Way down South they gave a jubilee The jokey folks they had a jamboree They're drinkin' homebrew from a water cup The folks dancin' got all shook up And started playin' that rock and roll music Any old way you choose it It's got a back beat You can't lose it Any old time you use it It's gotta be rock and roll music If you wanna dance with me If you wanna dance with me Don't care to hear 'em play a tango I'm in the mood to dig a mambo It's way to early for a congo So keep a rockin' that piano So I can hear some of that rock and roll music Any old way you choose it It's got a back beat You can't lose it Any old time you use it It's gotta be rock and roll music If you wanna dance with me If you wanna dance with me
