Lyrics word cloud

Recommended Posts

Just wondered if anyone's ever done a word cloud including all Rush lyrics.

 

Or a word-count?

 

For no particular reason I'm curious to see which are the most-used words - yes, even including I, the, and...

"captain" seems to show up in a few.

(Closer to the Heart, 2nd Nature, Time Stand Still)

 

It would be pretty easy to cut n' paste the lyrics into a spreadsheet, or even Word, and then use their search functions.

Easy, but time consuming!

I might even go with "oh". Geddy probably screams "oh" two dozen times just in Finding My Way. That's GOT TO beat "captain" in all the songs you mentioned combined.

 

And then, how many other times does he sing "oh" on the debut? Heaps! Then a decade later he's still singing it in Territories. Ohhh....

 

Oh! Then "oh" reappears in the 21st century in Sweet Miracle.

Well, I'm pretty sure the highest count isn't "bumcakes".

 

Interestingly enough, Rutsey's original lyric was in fact "Bumcake Man".

Rutsey had a very quirky sense of humour and, like Zappa, enjoyed "bum humour" [aka scatology] most of all.

 

The following titles were also recorded but scrapped at Rutsey's behest:

Finding my Bum

Need Some Bum

Bumcake Road

Rear Again

What You're Pooing

Wonder no longer. "Wandering Hermit" did exactly that over at CP years ago. That thread was lost during one of the board crashes, though.

Anywhere got the lyrics in a cut 'n' pastable format? e.g. MS Word

Just spent two hours making one, only for the website to decide it didn't want to work. Sigh. I'll try again tomorrow, maybe on a computer instead of a phone this time.

One hell of a first post.

This reminds me.. I've often wondered how many individual notes are contained in an entire Rush concert. You could even break it down to the individual members. I'm guessing Neil would produce the most using all four limbs..

"Half" would occupy far too large a portion of the total area as it is about every eighth word in a lyrical effort that would have looked bad if it was turned in by a sixth grader. Edited by laughedatbytime

Zoinks - just realised that, if I wanted to do a word cloud of every word that gets sung, I'd need to C & P the choruses (where they exist and are designated as such) into the lyrics.

 

Maybe have to wait until retirement :codger:
