This was hidden on his post history somehow it didn't show up in the post. If you see any typos or data errors, or have questions on how I arrived at a figure, feel free to get in touch. If you are interested in statistics and data compilation (and who isn't? /s), here is an analysis of who wrote which lyrics and which songs on the nine releases containing original tracks, 1990-1999.Īnyway enjoy. Have a slide presentation for your lunchroom! :-PĪnyway enjoy. but it is somewhat annoying to see so many people say things like "Jerry wrote almost everything" over and over. I wouldn't care if Jerry wrote 100% of everything. See the Appendix at the end of the slide deck for this if/then breakdown. I would not have thought that was the case. IF he had been credited that way, the figures adjust to show that he wrote MORE lyrics than Jerry did. Layne collaboration with others music: 23%.Īlso it is really surprising to me that there are four songs (Sickman, Junkhead, Dirt, God Smack) officially credited to both Jerry and Layne without specification for who wrote lyrics or music or both but it's likely Layne wrote those lyrics by himself. Jerry collaboration with others music: 93.4% Jerry wrote solely or collaboratively 61.7% of the lyrics and Layne wrote solely or collaboratively 56.7%, so they are only 5% apart. Short breakdown - aggregate - percentages: Total "Jerry, Mike Starr, Sean" lyrics: 1 Total "Jerry, Layne, Mike Inez, Sean" lyrics: 1 Total "Jerry, Layne, Mike Starr" lyrics: 1 Short breakdown - lyrics only - raw numbers:įrom the We Die Young EP through Music Bank.Total songs that had lyrics: 61. I hope this is useful or interesting to someone out there besides me. There is so much discussion over whether Jerry wrote more lyrics or Layne wrote more, or how much (or little) Layne wrote of music, or who wrote anything else, etc., that this has it all broken down by totals: raw numbers, percentages, aggregate - by album and song. It takes the concept to a direction that feels so painfully real, you can feel the struggle and drug-addled.

But, to be fair to those who are new, Dirt is a dark exhibition of grunge godliness.
