Some people say that all Eurovision songs are the same. (And some say all blog posts on this topic are the same…) That’s probably not quite true, but there is perhaps a hint of truth in the suggestion that some themes tend to recur from year to year. Hence, I thought, Eurovision Bingo.
I wrote some code to analyse a directory full of lyrics, normally those from the previous year of the competition, and work out the frequency of occurrence of each word. It will then generate Bingo cards, with sets of words of different levels of commonness. You can then use them to play Bingo while watching this year’s competition (which is on Saturday).
There’s a Github repo, or if you want to go straight to pre-generated cards for this year, they are here.
Here’s a sample card from the 2014 lyrics:
| fell | cause | rising | gonna | rain |
| world | believe | dancing | hold | once |
| every | mean | LOVE | something | chance |
| hey | show | or | passed | say |
| because | light | hard | home | heart |
Have fun :-)
