List of songs that use the same rhyme throughout
|
|
This is a list of songs that take a single rhyme ending (whatever amount the leeway the particular song uses in defining a rhyme -- perhaps anything with a long I rhymes with anything else with a long I according to the lyricist's standards) and uses it consistently across the ends of lines, on all verses or strophically. This does not count songs that use a single rhyme for all the lines in the chorus but do not use the same rhyme repeatedly across the verses, or songs that have every line in a long verse rhyme, but use a different rhyme from verse to verse (such as the Beastie Boys' "Intergalactic"). Internal rhymes other than the song's defining word ending (such as "The funny glare to pay a gleaming tare in a staring under heat" or "The sun may rise in the east, at least, it settles in a final location") are permissible as long as the rhyme is used repeatedly at the ends of the lines.
