During the research work of De Uoll by means of the computer program has studied texts of songs which entered in top lists of charts with 1980 on 2007. It has appeared that in 80th years of last century people most of all loved songs in which it was told about general happiness, appeals to tolerance and racial harmony (for example, «Starting Over» John Lennon, «Ebony and Ivory» Paul McCartney) sounded.

Last decade in leaders songs in which it is a question of the unique person, its experiences, aspirations have escaped. Pronouns "we" and to "us" are used all less often. Instead of all of them "I" and "me", and texts of songs aggressive enough is more often sound.
