I took the lyrics from all their albums and a few of their b-sides, then sorted them, normalized them, removed all duplicate lines, leaving only unique lines of lyrics, and then parsed out the words and then ranked them by frequency, omitting words that were used only two times or less.

The primary source for lyrics was http://www.veddma.com/veddma/smashing.htm , which covers up to 2000, and then I had to get the post 2000 lyrics from various websites.

A lot of words are common to the English language in here, so using this as a reference https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Most_c...rds_in_English , I've made the common words (and contractions of) blue, so that the words that are more unique to Billy Corgan's lyrics are easier to identify. "love" sticks way out at the top, as well as "heart".

This other thread http://forums.netphoria.org/showthread.php?t=186882 was such a hit that things got a little crazy, so I'm presenting this breakdown in a thread of its own, most often used words by album and era. Of course the point of this is to see how Billy's lyrical vocabulary changed over time, or maybe identify some theme in the words that might not have been obvious otherwise. As in the other thread, most common words are removed, and I didn't bother to parse contractions.

Some observations, although "love" and heart" were common words since '91, there were a lot more "ooohs", "ohs" and "lover" from 2007 onward. "never" became less frequent. "down" went from a very common word to relatively rare. There's more that can be said, but you can see for yourself.

Ten years ago, we had an insightful and well written Smashing Pumpkins blog called Hipsters United. HU was a fan run blog that covered more than just the news and latest billy outrages, they also looked at how SP fits into the broader culture of music, and were well versed in challenging the hypocrisy of the Pitchfork-like gatekeepers.

But in 2018, we have this...

1. Remove words like “the,” “it’s,” and “oh”

2. Combine words that have the same root (i.e., “love” and “lover”)

3. Be more clear about what songs are in the pool (which albums, b-sides, and unreleased songs are included?)

4. I would consider counting multiple uses of the same word in one song. This would seriously increases the number of occurrences of “strange,” for instance, which is significant.

4. go to fuck yoursel;f you piece of shit

What you're describing is scientific rigor. That sort of thing requires time.

i saw what i think was a bald eagle the other day (it had a white head).

last week i came across the shell of an armadillo. there were still some bugs and maggots crawling around in it. i didn't know there were armadillos in florida.

oh i just remembered. a few days ago i saw what might have been a fox. or maybe a really small feral dog with a bushy tail. hmm.

still no alligators tho.

i had a dream last night that i sent Billy an instagram "question" that basically just bitched about SP2

he somehow responded by sending me a PayPal payment of $19.79 with the message attatched: "Fuck You"

Yeah, it's a fucked up movie. Worth a watch, but it's really disturbing and honestly very misogynistic. But it certainly stays with you afterward.
