Search - How many songs come up for each term?
"sex" - 39 (of those, 25 are from a Miranda Sex Garden album, several more from an album called "Sussex Folk Songs," and most of the rest are things like "Le sexte estampie royale" and "My Lord of Essex's Galliard." The only one that actually refer to sex qua sex are the Beatles' "Sexy Sadie," the Devastations' "Sex and Mayhem," and Billy Bragg's "Sexuality")
"love" - 246
"you" - 225
"death" - 36
"hate" - 2
"wish" - 8
I do not know how that got to be my most-listened song. Seriously. Otherwise this is pretty respectably representative except for the relative lack of Steeleye Span and things done by various combinations of members of the Waterson and Carthy families.
