How many unique words are in AWOLNATION’s “Sail!”?

Many have heard me complain that I’m not a fan of AWOLNATION’s hit song “Sail!”.

One thing I often cite is how few unique words are in the song. I finally ran the numbers:

AWOLNATION’s four minute and twenty seconds song “Sail” has 85 words, but, only 36 of those words are unique!

Here’s how those 36 words break down:

sail! 12

my 7

it 6

on 5

blame 5

add 4

baby 4

maybe 4

lalalalala 4

i 3

i’m 2

is 2

should 2

this 2

how 2

myself 1

help 1

kill 1

different 1

listening 1

breed 1
