Awesome prizes, right? Thank our wonderful sponsors for that. In saying that, I think your ready to embarrass yourself a little and get your inner pop star on.

What’s unique about the lyric is that the words are those used most often in the Top 50 selling downloads of this year. To illustrate how I used the data to write this lyric, I've color coordinated the words in the chorus. I used the largest words on the chart for the chorus and the smaller ones for the verses. Just so you know what kind of terrible awesomeness your getting in, here's a the full song lyric:

The Hypebot Hit Song
Look, my hands gonna touch this, ain’t gonna stop me now
Imma work this, let girls believe I really get down
Take every chick back to New York and let them walk home
Imma get ya name girl, call you on the telephone

Oh baby, yeah, Imma rock your body hard—like damn
Chick I wanna know, cause I get around now—like bad
Love gonna stop, Imma rock your body hard—like damn
Had enough tonight, I wanna break the love—like bad

Gotta cut, get going, I’m ridin’ the world—solo
Life party, girl, Imma romance badder, top get low
Break forever Shawty, cause girls dance at the night show
Don’t be rude sexy, leave your name, cause I gotta go

Oh baby, yeah, Imma rock your body hard—like damn
Chick I wanna know, cause I get around now—like bad
Love gonna stop, Imma rock your body hard—like damn
Had enough tonight, I wanna break the love—like bad

[Breakdown/Bridge:]
Everybody now, hey, get down, and let the chicks sing!

Oh baby, yeah, Imma rock your body hard—like damn
Boy I wanna know, cause I get around now—like bad
Love gonna stop, Imma rock your body hard—like damn
Had enough tonight, I wanna break the love—like bad
