Lyric word clouds and other visualizations

[roymond]

So I took all the lyrics of mine I could find (which is most of the last 8 years' songs) and created a word cloud on manyeyes. Not sure what to make of it other than "biggest" is one of the smallest words. Perhaps I shouldn't read into this too much...

Here are all SF artists with at least 12 entries, as a splatter map, showing their wins. The mouse-overs reveal the artist name and stats.

Your link didn't seem to let me log in

So I used this one:

That is awesome.

Amongst the biggest words on mine are "na", "la", "yeah", "baby", "Oi", "caravan", "ray" and "duck". Make of that what you will.

...and some of the word groupings is a bit worrying...why is "beautiful arse Jesus men" all together like that? But "sex yeah old better" - I can relate to.

Oh man, yours is so cooler than mine! Other than the occasional "penguin" and "chicken", I'm all white and boring. This is very helpful therapy. I will strive for a more engaging word cloud over the next year.

From the only Songfight song I wrote lyrics for:

[Caravan Ray]

Those things are even useful as band name generators. From mine I can see:

Camel Shit Panic
Mr Bad Calls
Think Meat
Weird Hate
Dirty Lifetime, and
Wabbit Headbut

Yeah, I thought this might be a way to generate new lyrics from the old, but worried it might cause mad cow disease or something.

My iTunes library, limited to 300 artists:

[Rabid Garfunkel]

What the... oh this should really be in the fdrink thread... I'll stick with the stuff written on my wall out here in PortLand... "Upshot Knothole" "I'm Dating Your Fetus" "Wonderfellatio" and the like. Gimme some more ellipses and I'll become Poor June, oy!

Why am I awake? Kimi and I got brand spankin' new phones, and the morse code 'H' of hers beepin' set her on a tear the house apart mission to find... the wrong phone, actually... hence I'm up because this is a shared hunt...

And why was the house line phone under the couch??? Which she thought was the offending beeper, but no... already set my phone to either scream, mutter, or call the cavalry, that's a funny looking word, when it has somethnig to say... her new phone squawking about something-er-other, disturbing both our sleeps.

Fuck me gently with a chainsaw, as the the kids of my era are wont to say. Back to bed for Bonzo, yo.

Actually no, it's 3 in the morning, which is the rebroadcasst time for the latest reincarnation of the Son of Svengoolie, aka Vermont's "Scarewolf" so I'll be melting in front of the telly 'till the sun comes up now

I'll leave this onscreen to horrify myself in the morning, when I'm sober(ish) again.
