Subject: misrhymed lyrics section
Hi there,
Just stumbled over this page in search for some lyrics. Nice idea, but what struck me immediately about the 'misrhymed lyrics' section is that some reviewers seem a little overeager.
For example, 'leisure' does rhyme with 'pleasure'. The Beatles were a British band!
And: two times 'over' in Breakfast at Tiffany's. Repetition is a very powerful stylistic method in poetry. So this is not a mistake, it is intended.
Destiny's child: 'telephone bills' versus 'automo bills'. This one is a beauty! It's a pun! If you listen closely, you hear that she ALMOST pronounces 'automobiles'. So whoever wrote these lyrics ingeniously combines two words into one.
And for the rest: it seems the reviewers think a song only rhymes if it's got combinations like heart/fart in it. If that's what you're looking for in a song, there's a lot more comments for you to make on this site! ;)
Well, I'm still going to add this site to my favorites, see what else is there.
Regards,
Wouter (The Netherlands)
