History Main / RhymingWithItself

--> There once was a rapping tomato\\

* The Spin Doctors' "Two Princes" takes it UpToEleven by putting "now" at the end of ''[[BrokenRecord every other line]]'' outside of the choruses, and also rhyme "you" with itself several times.

->And I gave it the title "Binky'sl Poem".

* Music/MaydayParade sort of this does in chorus of the regardless excellent "Jamie All Over", although within context it's actually kind of clever using a dual meaning, and certainly more fitting than the supposed rhymes of "me" and "dreaming" and "memories"

* "Imagination" is rhymed with itself in the opening lines of [[Film/WillyWonkaAndTheChocolateFactory "Pure Imagination"]].

->And I gave it the title "Binky's Poem".

* In the ''Film/{{Reptilicus}}'' episode of ''Series/MysteryScienceTheater3000'', during the song "Every Country Has a Monster", Tom Servo and Crow rhyme "Luxembourg" with itself for four lines.

* In ''Series/TheGoldenGirls'' episode "Big Daddy's Little Lady," Rose and Dorothy are trying to come up with Miami's new theme song in order to win a contest. The intro to one of their attempts claims that ''M-I-A-M-I spells 'Miami Beach'!'' When Blanche points out that it...really doesn't:
-->'''Rose:''' "I told you not to add 'beach'!"
-->'''Dorothy:''' "Oh, fine! Fine. You find something to rhyme with 'Miami,' hotshot."
-->'''Rose:''' "Mammy! Whammy, clammy, Alabam-y, hootenanny, salami!"
-->'''Dorothy:''' "'Hootenanny' is marginal, and I ''refuse'' to accept 'salami'."

--->I'd walk to you if I had no other way
--->Our friends would all make fun of us
--->and we'll just laugh along because we know
--->That none of them have felt this way

---> We'll have it good
---> We'll have the life we knew we would
---> My word is good

--->I’d write it all,
--->Even more in love with me you’d fall,
--->We’d have it all.

--->Second chances, they don't ever matter
--->People never change
--->Once a whore, you're nothing more, I'm sorry
--->That'll never change

--->And everyone in '''line in the bathroom'''
--->Trying to get a '''line in the bathroom'''

* A poem Binky wrote in an episode of ''WesternAnimation/{{Arthur}}'' fit this trope so much that it was made as the page quote.

* The ''Franchise/StarWars'' game for UsefulNotes/{{Kinect}} features [[SongParody parodies]] of many popular dance songs. One combines [[Music/VillagePeople the tune of "YMCA" and the premise of "In The Navy"]] to create a recruitment song for the Empire, which contains the line:

::: The original instead produced a rhyme with "himself" with the [[LyricalShoehorn contrived phrase]] "Put your pride on the shelf" (we'd usually say "swallow your pride").

::: The original instead produced a rhyme with "himself" with the LyricalShoehorn "Put your pride on the shelf!"; we'd usually say "swallow your pride".

* The ''Franchise/StarWars'' game for {{UsefulNotes/Kinect}} features [[SongParody parodies]] of many popular dance songs, one of which is a recruitment song for the Empire based on "[[Music/VillagePeople YMCA]]". "It's fun to stay at the Y-M-C-A!" becomes "It's great to be in the Em-pire to-day!" The song includes the line "Vader [beat] can't do it by himself, and he's second [beat] to the Emperor himself!". Mind you, the corresponding line in the original song is "No man [beat] does it all by himself, I said young man! [beat] Put your pride on the shelf!", which isn't a total cheat, but is still contrived since we'd usually say "swallow your pride".

* Jez's poem "Fuck You Bush" on ''PeepShow'':

-->'''Luciana''': That's my sister.

-->'''Luciana''': Why call you me “love”? Call my sister so.

* ''WesternAnimation/TheHunchbackOfNotreDame'', when the gargoyles are encouraging Quasimodo:

* Music/{{Eminem}} is guilty of this at times:
** "Still Don't Give A Fuck":
-->Got your girl on my arm and I'm armed with a firearm
-->So big my entire arm's like a giant firearm.
** Also:

** In "When I'm Gone" he combines this with his internal rhymes to rhyme 'baby' with itself as well as 'Shady' with itself (and both with each other):

If I wasn't, then why would I say I am?\\

*** Given that rappers tend to rhyme multiple syllables at a time, this example's debatable. There's a semi-rhyme between the "o" in "job", and the first "o" in "follow", so he's effectively rhyming "'''jo'''b for '''me'''" with "'''fo'''llow '''me'''".
** There's "The Way I Am" too, but it might be actually intentional:

In the paper, the news, everyday I am\\
I don't know, it's just the way I am

* ''Radio/OurMissBrooks'': The radio episodes "Clay City English Teacher" and "Mr. Laythrop returns to School" feature the Madison anthem, "O Madison". The offical version rhymes "Madison" with "Madison". Miss Brooks makes the song longer in "Clay City English Teacher by adding the additional lyrics in parody:
