Now I'm gonna tell you about girls
They're all over this world
Some have beautiful shapes
I wanna live to be ninety-eight.

Technically a rhyme ...

I've got a hunger/It's a hunger

Say it enough times, and it sounds like you're trying to pick a giant booger.

Even in a perfect world where everyone was equal
I'd still own the film rights and be working on the sequel

Girl on the phone keeps a-ringing back
Knows where I get my shirts and where I get my pants
Where I get my trousers where I get socks
My leg measurements and the size of my cock

Ok, well, I'm a huge fan of The La's one album, it's in my top 20 of all time probably but I have no doubt that this couplet from the one weak track on there, "IOU" will haunt me until my dying day :


"On this street for knowledge
You must eat your porridge"


(Cringe)

I know how Mats feels. As much as I love Prince, his lyrics offer plenty of gaffes. This one always makes me cringe:

"Oh baby I'm a star
Might not know it now
Baby, but I are"

On the subject of Homer Simpson, I've always loved

Baby on Board
Something something... Burt Ward

And from the equally great and maddening Franklin Bruno

here comes the swansong/sung at the bombsite
here comes the Elton John song/they play on prom night

"you want a piece of my heart
you gotta start from the start
you wanna be in the show
come on baby let's go"

As soon as I read this, the ensuing guitar solo lodged itself in my brain.




I'm on the drug, I'm on the drug
I'm on the drug that killed River Phoenix

I saw his body thrashing 'round
I saw his pulse rate going down
I saw him in compulsive throws
I said "I'll have one of those"

Same here.

That was very cruel, Madis.

She was tall, thin and tarty
and she drove a Maserati
faster than sound.
I was heaven bound,
although I must have looked a creep
in my Army surplus jeep.

Just listened to "The Modern World" by the Jam this morning which contains this chestnut:

That someday I would be on top
And I'd look down upon the map!
The teachers who said I'd be nothing...

I especially like the way Weller spits out the word MAP - I think he probably thought if he snarled it forcefully enough no one would notice he was rhyming map with top.

THE HOLD STEADY: The Swish


"She said my name is steve perry but people call me circuit city."

...or later in the verse:

"She said my name's neil schon but some people call me Nina Simone.
Some people call me andre cymone."

There are some rock/pop artists who are just terrible at rhyming in general. I don't know whether they lack the cleverness to construct more interesting lyrics, or maybe the primitive rhymes and adolescent doggerel are part of their schtick. A typical Dinosaur Jr verse for example, is four lines consisting primarily of one-syllable words and using end rhyme exclusively:

Seen enough to eye you
But I've seen too much to try you
Its always weirdness while you
Dig it much too much to fry you

In J Mascis's defense, I find it endearing. The rhymes conjure up the appropriate slacker adolescent angst.

And sometimes I just aint in the mood
To take my place in back with the loudmouths
Youre like a picture on the fridge thats never stocked with food
I used to live at home, now I stay at the house

Had too much to drink
at the Red Lobster
Now the room's spinning 'round
like the blades of a helicopter

I arrrived in front of the dormitory
Yo, could you tell me where is door three?
They showed me where it was for the moment
I didn't know I was in for such an event
