The word cloud shown was created using the lyrics from the top 10 alternative songs for the week of February 20th. When looking at My Chemical Romance’s song “Sing,” you’ll notice that the chorus contains sing six or more times. This combined with the lyrics of the other songs make it the most used word in all of the lyrics.
The most used words don’t make for memorable lyrics or songs, as shown in the word cloud. Sing is used most, but makes it to the number four spot. “Shake Me Down,” moves up from the number two spot this week, while “Tighten Up” drops to number 3.
