I found this on twitter and thought it was pretty cool!
We were having fun on twitter the other night and I was introduced to the site for making wordles. From their site, “Wordle is a toy for generating “word clouds” from text that you provide. The clouds give greater prominence to words that appear more frequently in the source text.” I thought these were really cool (shout-out to @pastelpastel for making mine from my tweets!). And then I remembered I have a cool “list” of words–all the lyrics from David Archuleta’s album “The Other Side of Down.” So I tweaked my word list to take out titles and such and plunked it into Wordle and voila! You can click to see it better. It’s a fun exercise to see if you can figure out which song the least used words come from.
Oh one more thing. Wordle automagically removed what it called “common English words.” I wish they’d considered “oh” common, LOL. Can you guess which one of the following alphabetized common English words was actually used the most in the TOSOD song lyrics: I, it, the, you? No contest. The word “I” was used much more frequently than anything else. Makes sense, eh? After all, this was David’s album to talk about himself.
