What’s the most-used word in rock lyrics?
I received this email from reader Ted over the weekend:
“My wife and I were sitting at the dinner table one day and got into a conversation about rock lyrics. This ended in a question: What is the most popular word in rock music (excluding articles like ‘the’)?”
Tall order, but someone has already done the hard work. If we leave out definite and indefinite articles and predictable words like “I” and “you,” things break down like this according to CodingInTune.com.
If we look just at metal…
Related to that, which genre uses the word “death” the most? Oh, right.
And for fun, let’s look at hip-hop.

Please tell me someone has used only these words to make a song… (Maybe with the omitted words being allowed)…
I’m sure the “Most Used Lyrics in Rap” list there are indeed actual lyrics in rap songs.
Looks like a chorus to me.
