Ever wonder how many words are in Al's songs? This list will count the number of words in all of Al's released songs, and rank them, in term of words, from shortest to longest.
For purposes of this list, I attempted, where possible, to count sound clips that contained words and background vocals, where the vocals were distinct from the harmony. I tried not to count laughing and belching as words, but I did include nonsense words.
Note: The tracks from the "Alapalooza" album may be slightly off, as my sources didn't necessarily transcribe lyrics as specifically as I would have liked. Over time I will update my sources, and of course this list. But, in the meantime, if you feel I have misrepresented a count, please let me know.
This list includes data from all of Al's full-length albums through "Straight Outta Lynwood."
