Song Charts
The ELS Blog has continually demonstrated the importance of good charts to the study of law. But what about pop music? Here the "Song Charts" pool on Flickr is filling the gap. Consider the following histogramic analysis of Elvis's "Ain't Nothing But a Hound Dog" (by MShades):
M.C. Hammer is on the charts as well. Here's the full pool; I'm putting some Creative Commons licensed ones below the fold.
Billy Ocean's Going Gets Tough:
Billy Joel's heartrending Piano Man:
And, of course, The Cure.
Hat Tip: weather pattern.

There is a typo in piano man. "Davey," not "Navy," should be in the key on the right.

This reminds me of the famous Powerpoint Gettysburg Address. http://norvig.com/Gettysburg/
See esp. slide 5: http://norvig.com/Gettysburg/sld005.htm
