Track Words Popularity in Song Lyrics Over the Years
 

Hey everyone!

I recently built a tool that analyzes song lyrics and tracks how the popularity of specific words changes over time. The tool scans a huge collection of lyrics from different years. You can use it to spot trends, discover when certain words became mainstream, or just explore how language in music evolves.

Example:
“Boogie” in Song Lyrics. From dance floors to disco balls, “boogie” ruled the airwaves between 1974-1982. Why? Disco fever was everywhere - Saturday night meant glitter and getting down. “Boogie” was the soundtrack of a generation.

Let me know what you think! And if there’s a word you’re curious about, drop it in the replies – I might chart it next.

Here's a graph showing its rise and fall:

And here’s a short video with actual songs that include “boogie” over the years:

The origin of the term boogie-woogie is unknown, according to Webster's Third New International Dictionary. The Oxford English Dictionary states that the word is a redoubling of boogie, which was used for rent parties as early as 1913.[4] The term may be derived from Black West African English, from the Sierra Leone term "bogi", which means "to dance"; as well, it may be akin to the phrase "hausa buga", which means "to beat drums".[3][4] In the late 1920s and early 1930s, the term "could mean anything from a racy style of dance to a raucous party or to a sexually transmitted disease."[5][4] In Peter Silvester's book on boogie woogie, Left Hand Like God – the Story of Boogie Woogie he states that, in 1929, "boogie-woogie is used to mean either dancing or music in the city of Detroit".[6]
