Perhaps this would have made a better scatter chart.

In the lyrics, “banging on them bongos” is described as “the way you do it”, whereas he says, “I shoulda learned to play them drums”. Seems to me the graph is right, though perhaps overthought as Boter said.

Nah, I think it works pretty well. Not an immediate FUNNAY, a bit too much thinking involved (too many lyrics going on at once), but the graph is sound enough.

The graph. Clearly “banging on the bongos” should be in the same subset as “the drums”, not “the guitar”. A Venn diagram doesn’t even make sense for the rest of it.
