| 1 | {{Subverted Rhyme|EveryOccasion}}s in music. |
| 2 | ---- |
| 3 | |
| 4 | * Nick Cave and the Bad Seeds' "Lyre of Orpheus" |
| 5 | -->Orpheus looked at his instrument\ |
| 6 | And he gave the wire a '''pluck'''\ |
| 7 | He heard a sound so beautiful\ |
| 8 | He gasped and said '''O my God''' |
| 9 | * The 1921 [[StandardSnippet classic]] "Ain't We Got Fun" does the clean version: |
| 10 | -->There's nothing surer\ |
| 11 | The rich get rich and the poor get -- children. |
| 12 | ** The second time 'round, the poor get "laid off." |
| 13 | * Musical humor group Music/TheAxisOfAwesome uses a standard variety in their song “What Would [[JesusWasWayCool Jesus]] Do?” |
| 14 | -->And did you give your life up\ |
| 15 | To save humans from bad luck?\ |
| 16 | Were you [[MysticalPregnancy born of virgin birth]]\ |
| 17 | Or did your parents... [[CurseCutShort have sex?]] |
| 18 | * Obscure British Art-pop band David Devant and his Spirit Wife and Mr Solo (the lead singers solo project) do this a LOT. |
| 19 | ** From "Pimlico": |
| 20 | --->Sometimes London don't seem too appealing \ |
| 21 | Maybe your lover is living in Deptford. |
| 22 | ** From "Slip it To me": |
| 23 | ---> And my Uncle thinks I'm barmy \ |
| 24 | 'cause I don't pack my bag and join the navy. |
| 25 | ** From "Black and White": |
| 26 | --->I woke up this morning, my head was full of rocks\ |
| 27 | I couldn't remember the night before, I'd lost a pair of shoes |
| 28 | ** From "Genius": |
| 29 | ---> This song doesn't make its own luck\ |
| 30 | 'cause this song doesn't give a flying family planning clinic. |
| 31 | ** Furthermore the lead singer sometimes changes the lyrics which actually do rhyme when performing live. For instance "Do you have plans in your head, you wish they'd all go drop dead" becomes "Do you have plans in your head, you wish they'd fuck off and die". |
| 32 | * Morrissey has the song "I Have Forgiven Jesus", which features this refrain: |
| 33 | -->Monday: Humiliation\ |
| 34 | Tuesday: Suffocation\ |
| 35 | Wednesday: Condescension\ |
| 36 | Thursday: ''Is pathetic'' |
| 37 | * "Brass Monkey" by Music/BeastieBoys: |
| 38 | -->We got the bottle you got the cup \ |
| 39 | Come on everybody let's get ffffffff\ |
| 40 | Brass Monkey \ |
| 41 | That funky Monkey |
| 42 | ** "The New Style": |
| 43 | --->'''MCA:''' I got rhymes that are rough and rhymes that are slick |
| 44 | --->I'm not surprised you're on |
| 45 | --->'''Mike D.:''' ''[[CurseCutShort MIKE D.!]]'' |
| 46 | * From Madvillain's "Great Day" |
| 47 | -->Spit so many verses, sometimes my jaw twitches\ |
| 48 | One thing this party could use is more...booze |
| 49 | ** Then subverted as the song continues: |
| 50 | ---> Put yourself in your own '''shoes'''\ |
| 51 | And stay away from all those pairs of busted Timbs you don't '''use''' |
| 52 | * From DJ Jazzy Jeff and the Fresh Prince's "You Saw My Blinker", the only song where Will Smith curses (but not in this line, which he avoids): |
| 53 | -->This is a story I'll never forget/About the day my new car got hit |
| 54 | -->It caught me off-guard cause it happened so quick/When I heard the crash I got mad as... ''hell'' |
| 55 | * Music/TommyTutone's memetic hit "Jenny ([[ArcNumber 867 5309]])" features this little gem |
| 56 | -->Jenny, Jenny, you're the girl for me \ |
| 57 | You don't know me but you make me so happy |
| 58 | ** Tommy Heath's awkward pause right before delivering the "happy" line really makes it. |
| 59 | * A double subverted lyric with different words than you'd think -- Hieroglyphics' "Throw it in Ya Grill": |
| 60 | -->A little bit of this is all I need \ |
| 61 | Can't wait to get home and smoke some salmon\ |
| 62 | Throw it in ya grill, then called my seed (scene?)\ |
| 63 | And when the street lights go off, we're jammin |
| 64 | * From the Music/WeirdAlYankovic song "I'm So Sick of You": |
| 65 | -->You don't have an ounce of class\ |
| 66 | You're just one big pain in the neck |
| 67 | ** And from Al's not-officially-released track "Still Billy Joel to Me": |
| 68 | --->It's a big '''hit''' isn't '''it'''\ |
| 69 | Even if it's a piece of '''junk''' |
| 70 | ** A touch of lampshading in the song "(This Song's Just) Six Words Long" on album ''Music/EvenWorse'' |
| 71 | -->I know if I put my mind to it\ |
| 72 | I know I could find a good rhyme here |
| 73 | ** Done subtly in "Whatever You Like"; it still rhymes, but you may have expected a two-syllable rhyme: |
| 74 | -->Baby you should know I'm really quite a '''sweet guy'''\ |
| 75 | When I buy you bathroom tissue I always get the '''two-ply''' |
| 76 | ** From the very first song Al ever sent to Creator/DrDemento at age 16, the adorable "Belvedere Cruisin'": |
| 77 | -->I don't think that I could cruise in one of those small [=VW=]s\ |
| 78 | Or zip along the highway in a classy pickup truck\ |
| 79 | There's somethin' 'bout a Comet that makes me wanna vomit\ |
| 80 | And those Datsuns just ain't worth a '''fudgesicle''', no! |
| 81 | * From Daphne and Celeste's cover of "School's Out": |
| 82 | -->''Sitting in class\ |
| 83 | Is a pain in the neck'' |
| 84 | * Music/AliceCooper: |
| 85 | ** "I Love America": |
| 86 | --->I love my bar and I love my truck \ |
| 87 | I'd do most anything to make a buck \ |
| 88 | I love a waitress who loves to...flirt! \ |
| 89 | They're the best kind |
| 90 | ** "Working Up A Sweat": |
| 91 | --->The bandages come off today \ |
| 92 | Really feelin' sick \ |
| 93 | The hardest part's explainin' \ |
| 94 | All these blisters on my...NOSE! |
| 95 | ** "School's Out": |
| 96 | -->Well, we got no class...\ |
| 97 | And we got no principals\ |
| 98 | And we got no innocence\ |
| 99 | We can't even think of a word that rhymes! |
| 100 | * The MC Lars song "Internet Relationships": |
| 101 | -->Let me send you pics for your personal collection\ |
| 102 | I hope they inspire you and give you a...smile |
| 103 | ** And his "Space Game": |
| 104 | -->And I'm from Mars, and she's from Venus\ |
| 105 | She has ovaries and I have a...light saber |
| 106 | * Stephen Lynch loves doing this in his songs. |
| 107 | ** ''"If I Were Gay"'': |
| 108 | --->"And if I were gay \ |
| 109 | We would tear down the walls \ |
| 110 | But I'm not gay \ |
| 111 | So won't you stop cupping my...hand!" |
| 112 | ** "Vanilla Ice Cream": |
| 113 | --->"Just don't take it personally \ |
| 114 | This is no attack \ |
| 115 | But we will never last because \ |
| 116 | I'm white and you are -- also white..." |
| 117 | ** And in his El Ray Performance... |
| 118 | --->"I thought college life was great.\ |
| 119 | Ed couldn't count from one to two." |
| 120 | ** And in "Gynecologist": |
| 121 | ---> When your legs are open, I begin the gropin'\ |
| 122 | But I fear I must be blunt\ |
| 123 | I would just as soon not go near your balloon\ |
| 124 | I think that I'll stick to your. . . front. |
| 125 | *** Double-Subverted, as it ''is'' a rhyme. Just not the one everyone thought it would be. |
| 126 | *** And triply-subverted in some of his Live performances (including the CD recording for ''Superhero''), as he states that "I would ''never'' say "[[CountryMatters cunt]]" to an audience... ''[[HypocriticalHumor ever!]]''" |
| 127 | *** Also, from the same song: he "loves pu...tting womens' minds at rest". |
| 128 | ** "Whittlin' Man": |
| 129 | --->Yeah, he'd whittle if it's light, he'd whittle if it's dark\ |
| 130 | And if Noah was around, well, he'd whittle him an ark\ |
| 131 | He'd whittle something new, and he'd whittle something old\ |
| 132 | He'd whittle something hot, and he'd whittle something ''rather chilly''... |
| 133 | * Inverted in the infamous Rebecca Black song "Friday," where almost none of the lyrics rhyme, but she managed to rhyme "bowl" with "cereal", and "Friday" with "excited" and "today." |
| 134 | * Benny Bell's song "Shaving Cream", made infamous by Creator/DrDemento; depending on the performance you witness, it has anywhere from eight to hundreds of verses all in the form: |
| 135 | -->Our baby fell out of the window \ |
| 136 | You'd think that her head would be split. \ |
| 137 | But luck was with her that morning-- \ |
| 138 | She fell in a big pile of shhhhhhhhhhhhh-- \ |
| 139 | --SHAV-ing cream, be nice and clean \ |
| 140 | Shave every day and you'll always look keen. |
| 141 | ** The Mora Träsk cover of this song, "Skidvalla," substitutes ski wax for the shaving cream. |
| 142 | * Inverted in the Dresden Dolls' "The Jeep Song" |
| 143 | -->I guess it's just my stupid luck\ |
| 144 | That all of Boston drives the same black fucking truck. |
| 145 | * {{Invoked|Trope}} and played by Music/{{Voltaire}} during the whole song: "The Dirtiest Song That Ain't." |
| 146 | -->Down in Carolina\ |
| 147 | I met a girl with a nice [...]\ |
| 148 | So I reached down between us\ |
| 149 | And I whipped out my [...]\ |
| 150 | Skipped right past the suckin'\ |
| 151 | And got right down to [...]\ |
| 152 | She turned and said: "I gotta ask,\ |
| 153 | Would you slip it into my [...]? |
| 154 | * "The Assumption Song" by Vito Petroccitto Jr. is entirely based on this trope. |
| 155 | -->There was an old farmer who lived on a rock \ |
| 156 | He sat in the meadow shaking his \ |
| 157 | Fist at the boys playing down by the crick \ |
| 158 | Their feet in the water their hands on their \ |
| 159 | Marbles and playthings... |
| 160 | ** However, {{subverted|Trope}} at the very end of the song.. |
| 161 | -->And then he'd spread whipped cream all over her\ |
| 162 | Cookies that she had laid out on her shelf\ |
| 163 | If you think this is dirty you can go f*** yourself! |
| 164 | ** The entire thing can be heard [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TywmpMQYojs here]] |
| 165 | * 'Series of Dreams' by Music/BobDylan has a good example. Just the opening is quoted here, but the whole song avoids the use of the expected rhyme, although several other words appear in rhyming partnership with ''dreams.'' |
| 166 | -->I was thinking about a series of dreams \ |
| 167 | Where nothing comes up to the top \ |
| 168 | Everything stays down where it's wounded \ |
| 169 | And comes to a permanent stop |
| 170 | ** Sneakily averted in "Bob Dylan's 115th Dream": |
| 171 | -->I decided to flip a coin, like either heads or tails |
| 172 | -->Would let me know if I should go back to ship or back to jail |
| 173 | -->So I hocked my sailor's suit and I got a coin to flip |
| 174 | -->It came up tails, that rhymes with...sails, so I made it back to ship. |
| 175 | ** And then there's "Man Gave Names To All The Animals", about [[Literature/TheBible Adam]], well, [[ExactlyWhatItSaysOnTheTin naming all the animals in the garden of Eden]]. Each verse has a description of an animal, ending on its name. Until the final verse: |
| 176 | -->He saw an animal as smooth as glass |
| 177 | -->Slithering its way through the grass |
| 178 | -->Saw him disappear in a tree by a lake-- |
| 179 | -->''[End of song]'' |
| 180 | * Oscar Brand's "Clean Song" is probably familiar to devotees of Dr. Demento: |
| 181 | -->There was a young sailor who looked through the glass\ |
| 182 | Spied a fair mermaid with scales on her\ |
| 183 | Island where seagulls flew over their nests\ |
| 184 | She combed the long hair that hung over her\ |
| 185 | Shoulders, which shook with a wriggle and twitch\ |
| 186 | "Come on, men" I cried, "there's a beautiful\ |
| 187 | Mermaid a-sitting out there on the rocks!"\ |
| 188 | The men all came running and grabbing their\ |
| 189 | Glasses (etc. etc.)... |
| 190 | * Allan Sherman used this trope in one of the parodies in his medley "Shticks And Stones" on his 1963 album ''My Son, The Folk Singer''; in this case, he detoured around what was then a borderline obscenity in Yiddish, the word "schmuck": |
| 191 | -->Oh, I'm Melvin Rose of Texas, \ |
| 192 | And my friends all call me Tex. \ |
| 193 | When I lived in old New Mexico, \ |
| 194 | They used to call me Mex. \ |
| 195 | When I lived in old Kentucky, \ |
| 196 | They called me Old Kentuck. \ |
| 197 | I was born in old Shamokin, \ |
| 198 | Which is why they call me Melvin Rose. |
| 199 | ** A similar use in his original song "My Son, The Vampire" |
| 200 | ---> When they see him, people scream, and they yell |
| 201 | --->And they scream and yell 'cause they're scared as heck |
| 202 | * ''Music/TheKillers'', "Mr. Brightside", although it's promptly justified as being a proper rhyme for the next line: |
| 203 | -->Now they're going to bed, |
| 204 | -->And my stomach is sick, |
| 205 | -->And it's all in my head, |
| 206 | -->But she's touching his chest, now, |
| 207 | -->She takes off her dress, now... |
| 208 | ** To emphasize the subverted rhyme, the chorus melody starts on the word "chest". |
| 209 | * Happens in the chorus of Jonathan Coulton's "First of May", [[IntercourseWithYou a song all about how the weather getting warmer in springtime means you can have sex outside]]. |
| 210 | -->'Cause it's the first of May, first of May\ |
| 211 | Outdoor fuckin' starts today\ |
| 212 | So bring your favourite lady\ |
| 213 | Or at least your favourite lay\ |
| 214 | The water's not cold, baby, dip in your big toe\ |
| 215 | Maybe I'll see you ''in flagrante delicto''\ |
| 216 | Grass below you, sky above\ |
| 217 | Celebrate spring with a crazy little thing called...\ |
| 218 | Fuckin' outside |
| 219 | * Music/PaulAndStorm, who often tour with Music/JonathanCoulton, have one of their own in "Cruel, Cruel Moon." You keep waiting for them to sing "...and then rip me apart." but they never do. |
| 220 | * Music/JudyPancoast wrote a children's song "Seven Words that Make Kids Laugh", that was based on this. |
| 221 | -->There's seven words that make kids laugh, I'm not allowed to say them. |
| 222 | -->And if I put them in my songs, the radio won't play them. |
| 223 | -->I think that you can figure out what some of them might be. |
| 224 | -->I'll have to tell you later 'cause now I have to-- |
| 225 | -->Oh, seven words, seven words, get the party started. |
| 226 | -->Seven words. Hey, did you smell that. I think somebody-- |
| 227 | * Subverted rhymes aren't always obscured obscenities. From Music/{{Queen}} song "'39": |
| 228 | -->And the night followed day \ |
| 229 | And the storytellers say \ |
| 230 | That the score brave souls inside \ |
| 231 | For many a lonely day \ |
| 232 | Sailed across the milky seas |
| 233 | ** Replace "seas" with the intended rhyme "way," and remember that Brian May's a Ph.D in astrophysics...and the song begins to make more sense. |
| 234 | ** On the other hand, in "Good Company"... |
| 235 | --->Soon I grew, and happy, too \ |
| 236 | My very good friend and me \ |
| 237 | We'd play all day with Sally J. \ |
| 238 | The girl from number '''four''' |
| 239 | * Popular cheer for cheerleaders: |
| 240 | -->Ra! Ra! Rhee! Kick 'em in the knee! \ |
| 241 | Ra! Ra! Rhass! Kick 'em in the other knee! |
| 242 | ** Ah, but don't forget the inverted version: |
| 243 | ---> Ra! Ra! Rhass! Kick 'em in the ass! \ |
| 244 | Ra! Ra! Rhee! Kick 'em in the other ass! |
| 245 | ** A RefugeInAudacity extension to the above: |
| 246 | ---> Ra! Ra! Resticles! Kick 'em in the first knee again! |
| 247 | ** Another cheer like this: |
| 248 | ---> Rick em! Rack em! Rock em! Ruck em! Go out there and really fight em! |
| 249 | ** One more cheer: |
| 250 | ---> We eat Wheaties! We are fit! The other team doesn't! They eat shhh...redded wheat! |
| 251 | ** And another! |
| 252 | --->Chocolate, Strawberry, Banana Split! We think your team plays like, SHIFT to the left, shift to the right... |
| 253 | ** Depending on your team's colours: |
| 254 | --->We're red! We're white! We're good! You're...not. |
| 255 | *** Non-British tropers: The word that would rhyme with white in the above, "shite", is [[DidNotDoTheBloodyResearch offensive in British English]]. |
| 256 | ** There are a lot of these: |
| 257 | --->Two, four, six, eight, our team is really great! Three, five, seven, nine, you lead petty little lives and you live in a cultural wasteland. |
| 258 | ** And another... |
| 259 | --->We will, we will, rock you down, shake you up, like a volcano, we'll erupt |
| 260 | --->Strap on the seatbelt, step on the gas, we're gonna kick you in the -- EVERYBODY! ''(repeats)'' |
| 261 | * Variation: In [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HZmHC75FDqQ this]] performance of Music/RoyZimmerman's song "Ted Haggard Is Completely Heterosexual", there is the following couplet: |
| 262 | -->'''Zimmerman:''' ''Now Ted's a little haggard, but he's thankful for the schism,''\ |
| 263 | [audience laughter]\ |
| 264 | '''Zimmerman:''' ''[speaking]'' "You're right, but wait for it."\ |
| 265 | [sings] ''And you might find it hard to swallow...the syllogism...'' |
| 266 | ** Also, in "Saddam Shame": |
| 267 | --->''Now we've learned our lesson: it's hard to conduct''\ |
| 268 | ''A war when the prewar intelligence sucked.''\ |
| 269 | ''Now some say the country is totally f...ar from anything a well-meaning superpower could ever hope to reconstruct.'' |
| 270 | ** And ''again'' in "Summer of Loving": |
| 271 | --->''Find a white dress or a tux;''\ |
| 272 | ''It ain't nobody's business who a person marries.'' |
| 273 | ** And a cleaner, more subtle version in "Defenders of Marriage": |
| 274 | --->''One summer evening when my woman was doing laundry''\ |
| 275 | ''I shared a six-pack with an old John Bircher''\ |
| 276 | ''And oh so wisely he imparted an ancient quandary''\ |
| 277 | ''To ponder: He''\ |
| 278 | ''Said, "It's nature versus...legislature."'' |
| 279 | ** Zimmerman really likes to do these. In "Romney Mitt, the Demon Barber of Wall Street": |
| 280 | --->''Romney will slash, Romney will sever''\ |
| 281 | ''Will Romney ever apologise -- not really,'' |
| 282 | * From Music/AcidBath's "Paegan Love Song": |
| 283 | -->You scream,\ |
| 284 | I scream,\ |
| 285 | Everybody scream\ |
| 286 | For morphine |
| 287 | * From the Bob and Tom Song "Snailman" |
| 288 | -->Sometimes he drives a big car,\ |
| 289 | Sometimes he drives a truck,\ |
| 290 | He knows you're in a hurry,\ |
| 291 | He doesn't give a darn |
| 292 | * Music/MitchBenn loves this trope: |
| 293 | ** In "Apathy Song": |
| 294 | --->I really couldn't be bothered:\ |
| 295 | My mind was totally blank.\ |
| 296 | So I made myself a cup of tea,\ |
| 297 | Read the paper, had a w-alk in the park. |
| 298 | ** In "Boy Band": |
| 299 | --->And we've already had a hit,\ |
| 300 | And you're listening to it,\ |
| 301 | And I'm sure you think it sh-ould be number one already! |
| 302 | ** Another one from a song he performed on ''Radio/TheNowShow'': |
| 303 | --->You gave us digital and satellite,\ |
| 304 | You never said they would be sh-ockingly bad! |
| 305 | ** And from "Tabloid Journalists": |
| 306 | --->They'd exploit any tragedy that makes them a buck,\ |
| 307 | And if it makes things worse they don't give a f...\ |
| 308 | ..Or your own protection you'd better beware,\ |
| 309 | There are tabloid journalists everywhere. |
| 310 | ** And again in a song about the return of amusingly deformed vegetables, and what this might mean for Esther Rantzen (who spent the 70s and 80s anchoring a show that featured them heavily): |
| 311 | --->She knows very well she had the easiest job,\ |
| 312 | Just holding up a parsnip that looked just like a kno .. ughty thing! |
| 313 | ** And ''again'' in "David Cameron Said Tw..", at the end of ''every verse'' (except the last one which just [[CensoredForComedy bleeps it out]]). |
| 314 | ** And yet ''again'' in "We Love Our NHS": |
| 315 | --->We heard your stories, we're here to bring the missing bit,\ |
| 316 | And if you're losing your own argument, could just be you're full of shanana da da da da naa |
| 317 | ** And once more with feeling: |
| 318 | --->Are you having a happy Christmas?\ |
| 319 | Just exactly how happy is it?\ |
| 320 | On a scale of one to ten\ |
| 321 | where one is great and ten is sh-ockingly bad |
| 322 | ** And his anti-English Defence League song "There Are Things Worth Rioting About": |
| 323 | --->Now they want to ration visits to your own GP, |
| 324 | --->It's the latest brainwave from Jeremy Hunt, |
| 325 | --->You might want to look at your priorities, |
| 326 | --->Or are you just a band of stupid racists cos there are things worth rioting about right now... |
| 327 | ** "Budget Air" is interesting because the subverted rhyme isn't obvious. In the version on the album ''Broken Strings'', the phrase "budget air" is used to refer to the airline, but if you think about it, the internal rhymes in the line "Ain't no use in cryin' when you're flyin' budget air" would be even better if the line was "Ain't no use in cryin' when you're flyin' Ryanair". Which is what it was when the song was originally performed on Creator/TheBBC consumer programme ''Series/{{Watchdog}}''. |
| 328 | ** And, of course, "Call Me During ''Series/DoctorWho'' And I'll Kill You": |
| 329 | --->Call me during ''Doctor Who'' and I'll kill you |
| 330 | --->Sixteen years I've been waiting for this |
| 331 | --->Call me during ''Doctor Who'' and I'll kill you |
| 332 | --->Don't even think about ringing just to take the -- call me during ''Doctor Who'' and I'll kill you! |
| 333 | ** His anti-AprilFoolsDay song "The Most Annoying Day of the Year": |
| 334 | --->Vicious wind-ups and cruel elaborate stunts, |
| 335 | --->The kind of thing that just appeals to truly humourless cretins. |
| 336 | * Comedy artist [[http://www.flamingmayo.com/wormquartet/wqband.htm Worm Quartet]] performed "Spatula", with multiple instances of the approaching mention of male genitalia being the cue for the chorus of "Spatula, spatula, spatula..." |
| 337 | * Music/TheyMightBeGiants' "Kiss Me, Son Of God:" |
| 338 | -->Now you're the only one here\ |
| 339 | Who can tell me if it's true,\ |
| 340 | That you love me,\ |
| 341 | And I love me. |
| 342 | ** This is debatable, but I think they set up "exploited working class" to rhyme with "kiss my ass", but instead used "kiss me, son of god." If you know the song title, you can see this one coming. |
| 343 | ** Also in "Number 3", then averted on the third line. |
| 344 | -->A rich man once told me "Hey, life's a funny thing."\ |
| 345 | A poor man once told me that he can't afford to speak.\ |
| 346 | Now I'm in the middle, like a bird without a beak... |
| 347 | * Fred Wedlock's 'Handier Household Help' [to name but one of his comic songs to do this] |
| 348 | -->And you can bung it down the toilet. You can spread it down your halls.\ |
| 349 | You can buy it in pint canisters for putting on your...banisters.\ |
| 350 | It removes the stains from carpet, the blemishes from glass,\ |
| 351 | Keeps your radio free from static. It will fumigate your...attic. (And so on...) |
| 352 | * In Draco and the Malfoys' "Potions Yesterday":\ |
| 353 | We were teamed up in duelling class/But no one else believed that I could knock you on your bum |
| 354 | ** Sometimes inverted in concert. |
| 355 | * From Deirdre Flint's "Cheerleader": |
| 356 | -->A cheerleader might not have her GED but she's ''pursuing'' one. |
| 357 | -->A cheerleader might not be a CEO but she'll be...''dating'' one. |
| 358 | * The Arrogant Worms are often miscredited with "The Assumption Song" (see above). Although they never recorded that song, they have pulled this trope with "I Pulled My Groin": |
| 359 | -->I pulled my groin, I pulled my groin |
| 360 | -->It hurts me when I skate, but not when I master...hills |
| 361 | * The pirate-themed band The Jolly Rogers have recorded a song called [[http://www.chivalry.com/cantaria/lyrics/a_clean_song.html "The Clean Song"]] (possibly {{N|otSafeForWork}}SFW) whose lyrics consist ''entirely'' of this trope, except for the very end. |
| 362 | ** In the same vein is a supposed "Old English Folk Song", [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Os_mCU8uRiA sung here]] by Bob Saget. |
| 363 | * Music/BatForLashes' version of Bruce Springsteen's "I'm On Fire": |
| 364 | -->Sometimes it's like someone took a knife, baby, edgy and blunt |
| 365 | -->And cut a six-inch valley through the middle of my...soul |
| 366 | * Used twice in the Music/BowlingForSoup song "99 Biker Friends" which is insulting an un-named abusive boyfriend that titular biker friends and the band wish to beat up. The first time it was played straight: |
| 367 | --> Such a big man\ |
| 368 | Such a little chick\ |
| 369 | I think it all\ |
| 370 | Goes back to your tiny...pick up truck |
| 371 | ** The second time was very much subverted: |
| 372 | -->Tell her that you're sorry \ |
| 373 | Blame it on the beer\ |
| 374 | Your dad was mean to you\ |
| 375 | Your friends think you're...an asshole.\ |
| 376 | And I do too\ |
| 377 | Over compensating\ |
| 378 | For your small shoe |
| 379 | * The profanity-ducking version is {{subverted|Trope}} by The Pogues in "The Old Main Drag": |
| 380 | --> ''One evening as I was lying down by Leicester Square'' \ |
| 381 | ''I was picked up by the coppers and kicked in the balls'' |
| 382 | * The ending of Peter Gabriel's "Big Time": |
| 383 | -->Big time, my belly's getting bigger |
| 384 | -->Big time, and my bank account |
| 385 | -->Big time, look at my circumstance |
| 386 | -->Big time, and the bulge in my big big big big big big big big big big big big big big big. |
| 387 | * Genesis pulled this to neat effect in "Land of Confusion". The rhyme of the first couplet in the refrain suggests exactly the opposite of the word used in the second: |
| 388 | -->This is the world we live in |
| 389 | -->And these are the hands we're given |
| 390 | -->Use them and let's start trying |
| 391 | -->To make it a place worth living in |
| 392 | ** They almost totally avert the trope at the end, though: |
| 393 | --->Stand up and let's start showing |
| 394 | --->Just where our lives are going to |
| 395 | * Another obscenity free example comes from "I Wish I was a Hudson" by...ummmm...the Hudsons. |
| 396 | -->...Where I'd quickly learn the system, |
| 397 | -->Start giving good advice |
| 398 | -->I'd drink a barrel of whiskey |
| 399 | -->And I'd eat my beans and...maybe some cornbread. Maybe some cornbread! |
| 400 | * From the Dead Milkmen |
| 401 | -->My Baby drives...a truck |
| 402 | -->My Baby sure is...good luck |
| 403 | -->My Baby has a...pet duck |
| 404 | -->My Baby is a heck of a f...friend |
| 405 | * In the song [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MboeozTBgD8 "Rehab Center for Fictional Characters"]]: |
| 406 | -->'''Tony the Tiger:'''Every day I wake up |
| 407 | -->And I get to work late |
| 408 | -->My boss says "Hey whats up" |
| 409 | -->And I say that I'm Grrrrrrrrrrrrrowing tired of this shit |
| 410 | ** By the same artist, "My Whole Family": |
| 411 | --->My whole family thinks I'm gay |
| 412 | --->I guess it's always been that way |
| 413 | --->Maybe it's 'cause of the way I walk |
| 414 | --->That makes them think that I like...boys |
| 415 | *** Also by Bo Burnham, ''Sunday School'' |
| 416 | ---->Did you know that Satan wears a cape |
| 417 | ---->Made out of a rainbow flag? |
| 418 | ---->And did you know that Jesus hates abortions |
| 419 | ---->Unless the kid was a f -- Jew? |
| 420 | *** Untitled |
| 421 | ---->We'll love him and raise him, till he finally leaves us |
| 422 | ---->What should we name him? How about '''Adolf'''. |
| 423 | ---->Little ''Adooooooooolf!'' |
| 424 | * For reference, here is (one version) of "Miss Susie", which originated as a jump-rope rhyme: |
| 425 | -->Miss Susie had a steamboat\ |
| 426 | The steamboat had a bell\ |
| 427 | Miss Susie went to Heaven\ |
| 428 | The steamboat went to\ |
| 429 | Hello operator\ |
| 430 | Please give me number nine\ |
| 431 | And if you disconnect me,\ |
| 432 | I'll paddle your\ |
| 433 | Behind the refrigerator\ |
| 434 | There was a piece of glass\ |
| 435 | Miss Susie sat upon it and broke her little\ |
| 436 | Ask me no more questions\ |
| 437 | Tell me no more lies\ |
| 438 | The boys are in the girls' room\ |
| 439 | Pulling down their\ |
| 440 | flies are in the city\ |
| 441 | bees are in the park\ |
| 442 | Miss Susie and her boyfriend\ |
| 443 | Are kissing in the\ |
| 444 | D-A-R-K\ |
| 445 | D-A-R-K\ |
| 446 | D-A-R-K\ |
| 447 | [fast] DARK, DARK, DARK\ |
| 448 | Dark is like a movie\ |
| 449 | A movie's like a show\ |
| 450 | A show is like a TV screen\ |
| 451 | And that is all I know\ |
| 452 | I know I know my mother\ |
| 453 | I know I know my pa\ |
| 454 | I know I know my sister\ |
| 455 | With the alligator bra! |
| 456 | ** A variation of the first verse runs: |
| 457 | --->Mary had a steamboat\ |
| 458 | The steamboat had a bell\ |
| 459 | Mary went to Heaven\ |
| 460 | And the steamboat went toot-toot |
| 461 | * A somewhat similar nursery rhyme-type song: |
| 462 | -->Three little angels, all dressed in white\ |
| 463 | Trying to get to heaven on the end of a kite\ |
| 464 | The kite string broke and down they all fell\ |
| 465 | Instead of going to heaven, they all went to\ |
| 466 | Two little angels...(This continues on until the end of 'one little angel'.)\ |
| 467 | Don't get excited\ |
| 468 | Don't lose your head\ |
| 469 | Instead of going to heaven\ |
| 470 | They all went to bed. |
| 471 | * [[http://www.playgroundlaw.com/cgi-bin/browse.pl?sid=3537 Another kids' song]], to the tune of "If You're Happy And You Know It": |
| 472 | -->His name was Nobby Hall, Nobby Hall |
| 473 | -->His name was Nobby Hall, Nobby Hall |
| 474 | -->His name was Nobby Hall, and he only had one...finger |
| 475 | -->His name was Nobby Hall, Nobby Hall |
| 476 | ** Later verses include: |
| 477 | -->He went to rob a bank, and he stopped to have a...sandwich |
| 478 | -->The copper he came quick, and they caught him by his...elbow |
| 479 | -->The judge's name was Annie, and she had a hairy...head |
| 480 | * Another, older one: |
| 481 | -->Three Irishmen, three Irishmen |
| 482 | -->Were digging in a ditch |
| 483 | -->One called the other |
| 484 | -->A dirty son of a |
| 485 | -->'''''Bee'''''hive corn syrup |
| 486 | -->Five cents a glass |
| 487 | -->If you don't like it |
| 488 | -->Shove it up your |
| 489 | -->'''''Ask''''' me no questions |
| 490 | -->I'll tell you no lies |
| 491 | -->If you get hit with a bucket of shit |
| 492 | -->Be sure to close your eyes! |
| 493 | * A no-obscenity version for subtle emphasis in "Mad World" by Music/TearsForFears: |
| 494 | -->All around me are familiar faces |
| 495 | -->Worn out places, worn out faces |
| 496 | -->Bright and early for their daily races |
| 497 | -->Going nowhere, going nowhere |
| 498 | * The Magnetic Fields' "Fido, Your Leash Is Too Long" does this twice: |
| 499 | -->You scare me out of my wits |
| 500 | -->When you do that Shih Tzu |
| 501 | ** and later... |
| 502 | --->You've just run out of luck\ |
| 503 | I don't care what you foxhounds do... |
| 504 | * Also by the Magnetic Fields, "[[LoveTriangle I'd Go Anywhere With Hugh]]": |
| 505 | -->I love Hugh |
| 506 | -->and Hugh loves you |
| 507 | -->you love me |
| 508 | -->and he does... not |
| 509 | * Digital Underground's "Doowutchyalike" |
| 510 | -->Homegirls, for once, forget you got class, |
| 511 | -->See a guy you like: just grab 'im in the biscuits! |
| 512 | ** From the same song: |
| 513 | --->If you're hungry, then get yourself something to eat |
| 514 | --->And if you're dirty, then go take a bath. |
| 515 | --->Messed up the line? Nope -- sometimes I don't rhyme. |
| 516 | * "The Freckle Song" contains several instances, including |
| 517 | -->She's like my Nellie |
| 518 | -->From her head down to her...elbow. |
| 519 | ** And then there's: |
| 520 | --->She was born in Hackensack |
| 521 | --->she made a fortune on her...career! |
| 522 | ** And, of course, there's: |
| 523 | --->She drinks until she gets plastered |
| 524 | --->She gets drunker than...my brother! |
| 525 | * Julie Brown's comedy song "I Like Them Big and Stupid": |
| 526 | -->I met a guy, who drives a truck |
| 527 | -->He can't tell time but he sure can drive |
| 528 | * Bowser and Blue's "Polkadot Undies" is entirely built on this trope, and it even lampshades it in the last verse. |
| 529 | -->The moral of this story, like a jewel it is gleamin'. |
| 530 | -->But you'll never find it in a glass of warm... |
| 531 | -->Milk or tea, 'cause it will not fit, |
| 532 | -->And you probably already think I am full of... |
| 533 | -->Vague innuendos and double-meanin' rhymes. |
| 534 | -->But I'll tell you that obscenity is all in your... |
| 535 | -->Polka-dot undies! |
| 536 | * Music/AlanisMorissette, in a show of support, altered the lyrics of her song "Ironic" to: |
| 537 | -->It's like ten thousand spoons when all you need is a knife, |
| 538 | -->It's like meeting the man of my dreams...and meeting his beautiful new husband. |
| 539 | * Lampshaded in Music/PinkFloyd's "Cymbaline": |
| 540 | -->The path you tread is narrow and the trumpets sheer and very high |
| 541 | -->the ravens all are watching from a vantage point nearby |
| 542 | -->apprehension creeping like a tube train up your spine |
| 543 | -->will the tight rope reach the end, will the final couplet rhyme? |
| 544 | ** The final couplet of the song, of course, is the only one which doesn't rhyme. |
| 545 | * Subverted by comedian Creator/BrianPosehn's "Metal By Numbers" which sets up an obscene rhyme, only to replace it with another word, that means the same thing. |
| 546 | -->It's metal by numbers! |
| 547 | -->it's not arithmetic! |
| 548 | -->John Mayer or Music/KellyClarkson, |
| 549 | -->they both can suck my...penis |
| 550 | * Done in one of Website/JibJab's 'Year in Review' songs, where the lyrics cut to the same word, only in a different context. |
| 551 | -->Global market meltdowns,\ |
| 552 | A bailout by the Fed\ |
| 553 | Fanny, Freddy, AIG and Lheman crapped the\ |
| 554 | '''Bed'''lam in Afghanistan\ |
| 555 | The Big Three self-destruct\ |
| 556 | Jessie Jackson threatened to cut off Obama's\ |
| 557 | '''Nut'''jobs made a bigfoot\ |
| 558 | And Spitzer's friend turned tricks\ |
| 559 | Duchovny went to rehab 'coz he couldn't control his\ |
| 560 | '''[[UsefulNotes/GeorgeWBush Dick]]''' needed a kickstart, the US needed gas\ |
| 561 | Literature/{{Harry|Potter}} showed the world his wand and [[Series/HannahMontana Miley]] showed her\ |
| 562 | '''As'''k me any question, I'll give it to you straight\ |
| 563 | For your sake kid I sure do hope '09 ain't like '08 |
| 564 | * "Flavor of the Month" by Black Sheep: |
| 565 | -->Just a brown fellow |
| 566 | -->Who's not afraid of Jello |
| 567 | -->To the people of the world |
| 568 | -->I would like to say G'day |
| 569 | * Music/TallyHall presents a pseudo-example of this for a blink-and-you'll-miss-it gag in the song "Haiku": |
| 570 | -->I've never thought much of formulaic verse anyway\ |
| 571 | And rhymes are not my forte. [''correctly'' pronounced as "fort"] |
| 572 | * From "Backdoor Lover", the song-within-[[FakeBand a-band-within-a-movie]] from ''Film/JosieAndThePussycats'' (wherein the title is a metaphor for both secret affairs and, ah, "unorthodox" sexual relations): |
| 573 | -->Some people use the front door\ |
| 574 | But that's never been my way\ |
| 575 | Just 'cause I slip in back doors,\ |
| 576 | Well, that doesn't make me...hey! |
| 577 | * Multiply double-subverted in Anthrax's song "I'm the Man": |
| 578 | -->"Drink the drinks, the drinks they drank |
| 579 | -->I put my money in the bank |
| 580 | -->They cut their crack, they offer joints |
| 581 | -->We don't do drugs, do you get our..." |
| 582 | -->"Meaning!" |
| 583 | -->"Point! Point! Watch the beat!" |
| 584 | * A lovely little song titled "Sweet Violets" does this trope for the entirety of the song. A snippet: |
| 585 | -->There once was a farmer who took a young miss |
| 586 | -->behind the barnyard and gave her a [[spoiler:lecture]] |
| 587 | -->on gooses and chickens and eggs |
| 588 | -->and told her she had the most beautiful [[spoiler:manners]] |
| 589 | -->that suited a girl of her charm |
| 590 | -->a girl that he'd like to take up in his [[spoiler:washing and ironing]] |
| 591 | -->and then if she did |
| 592 | -->then they could get married and raise lots of [[spoiler:sweet violets!]] |
| 593 | ** The aforementioned "Assumption Song" uses the same tune but this one's much cleaner! |
| 594 | * The Creator/RickMoranis song "9 More Gallons" pulls this in the first two verses (the third verse has a similar subverted intent, but manages to rhyme anyway): |
| 595 | -->I work all day |
| 596 | -->To pay the rent |
| 597 | -->Before the money's earned |
| 598 | -->It's all been allocated |
| 599 | ** And in the second: |
| 600 | --->Work all night |
| 601 | --->I'm always tired. |
| 602 | --->Hope my boss |
| 603 | --->Doesn't get me laid off. |
| 604 | * Brook Benton's "Boll Weevil Song": |
| 605 | -->The boll weevil said to the farmer\ |
| 606 | "Farmer, I'd like to wish you well"\ |
| 607 | Farmer said to the boll weevil\ |
| 608 | "Yeah, and I wish that you went...lookin' for a home..." |
| 609 | * Fairly common in the song "Oh, You'll Never Go To Heaven": |
| 610 | -->Oh you'll never go to heaven on a blade of grass,\ |
| 611 | 'Cos a blade of grass will cut your leg. |
| 612 | -->Oh you'll never go to heaven in a portaloo,\ |
| 613 | 'Cos a portaloo is full of water. |
| 614 | * Music/AmateurTransplants' "[[TheSomethingSong Beautiful Song]]", to the tune of James Blunt's "You're Beautiful", tells the story of a young boy and his middle-aged best friend: |
| 615 | -->Your name is Clive, and you're forty-five |
| 616 | -->But you don't let that come between us |
| 617 | -->And you make me hold your hand. |
| 618 | * The Pixies' "Vamos": |
| 619 | -->They'll come and play |
| 620 | -->Their friends will say |
| 621 | -->Your daddy's rich |
| 622 | -->Your mama's a pretty thing |
| 623 | * The Violent Femmes' "Gimme The Car", where the profane rhymes are suddenly interrupted by guitar slides: |
| 624 | -->Come on dad, I ain't no runt |
| 625 | -->Come on girl, gimme your- * sproing* |
| 626 | * Music/{{Primus}}: |
| 627 | ** Every verse of "The Air Is Getting Slippery" ends on one of these, setting up the word "fuck" but having the singer demur by saying "Forgive me if I hesitate." This goes on until the last line, when the word is drowned out by a crashing sound. |
| 628 | -->Now if you want an encore |
| 629 | -->You might hear "Is It Luck?" |
| 630 | -->But me, I'd rather play [[Music/TheResidents Residents]] |
| 631 | -->'Cause I don't give a- |
| 632 | -->Forgive me if I hesitate |
| 633 | ** Also from Primus; Mr Knowitall |
| 634 | -->They call me Mr. Knowitall |
| 635 | -->I am so eloquent. |
| 636 | -->Perfection is my middle name |
| 637 | -->And whatever rhymes with eloquent. |
| 638 | * "Please Play This Song On The Radio" by [=NoFX=] (Written as 'rhyme' but pronounced another way): |
| 639 | -->Almost every line in sung in time |
| 640 | -->Almost every verse ends in a rim |
| 641 | * Music/MorrisMinorAndTheMajors: |
| 642 | ** "Stutter Rap" |
| 643 | *** One example: |
| 644 | --->And it breaks my heart that we're not on the chart\ |
| 645 | 'cause the record's nearly over when the vocals start\ |
| 646 | And I'm down and out, and I'm down on my luck\ |
| 647 | And I'm livin' on my own and I'm dying for a f-''riend'' to say "You're great!"\ |
| 648 | But I'm under the hammer\ |
| 649 | 'cause all I seem to do is s-s-s-st-- |
| 650 | ** Another example. In this case, people expect to hear 'nineteen' |
| 651 | --->Well no-one's ever seen what I mean\ |
| 652 | From the age of n-n-n-n-n-n-thirteen |
| 653 | *** ...and yet again, misdirected 'No Sleep 'til Brooklyn' lyrics: |
| 654 | --->NO! SLEEP! 'TIL BEDTIME! |
| 655 | ** The B-side of this record, "Another Boring B-Side", contained this double example, where the first averted rhyme becomes the set-up for the second: |
| 656 | -->If the A-side makes a hit |
| 657 | -->We don't care if this is missed |
| 658 | -->'Cause the sooner we get finished |
| 659 | -->The sooner we get home |
| 660 | ** The follow-up, the Music/StockAitkenWaterman parody "[[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2XKDTOiNqdE This is the Chorus]]" opens |
| 661 | -->This is a disco hit,\ |
| 662 | And writing four every week is our own claim to fame,\ |
| 663 | Though they may be sh....ure to get you dancing,\ |
| 664 | No-one seems to mind that they all sound the same. |
| 665 | * Creator/TimWilson did a comedy sketch called "Love Songs for Losers" in which he offered fake clips from [[ExactlyWhatItSaysOnTheTin love songs for people with very un-sexy names]]. One of them had the lyric: |
| 666 | -->Chuck, Chuck, Chuck, Chuck |
| 667 | -->I think she finally wants to fffffffffforget about yesterday. |
| 668 | * In the song "Into Your Arms" by The Maine, the first few lines go as follows: |
| 669 | -->There was a new girl in town |
| 670 | -->She had it all figured out. |
| 671 | -->And I'll state something rash, |
| 672 | -->She had the most amazing...smile. |
| 673 | -->I bet you didn't expect that, |
| 674 | -->But she made me change my ways... |
| 675 | * The Transplants actually subvert this trope with "Gangsters and Thugs": |
| 676 | -->The world is mine, no limit I can do it |
| 677 | -->Every drama in life I've been through it |
| 678 | -->Even if I had it good and I blew it |
| 679 | -->Regret nothing I move on and say [[PrecisionFStrike fuck it]] |
| 680 | * From "L'America," by Music/TheDoors; |
| 681 | -->''C'mon, people, don't you look so down |
| 682 | -->You know the rainman's comin' to town |
| 683 | -->He'll change your weather, change your luck |
| 684 | -->And then he'll teach you how to...find yourself!'' |
| 685 | * Many CountryMusic songs subvert a rhyme to "ass": "Honky Tonk Attitude" by Music/JoeDiffie, "You Ain't Much Fun" by Music/TobyKeith, "Men" by The Forester Sisters, etc. Diffie uses a "well", and the other two use a "yeah". Also in Music/JoDeeMessina's "I'm Alright", she just doesn't say the word at all: "Been on top of the world and off on our…" When Phil Vassar (who wrote the song) did his own rendition for a GreatestHitsAlbum, he sang "asses." |
| 686 | ** Chad Brock's "Lightning Does the Work" takes it a step further: |
| 687 | -->I've seen lightning blow a cypress tree in half |
| 688 | -->The thunder's busy talkin', and lightning's kickin'...(thunderclap) |
| 689 | * Another CountryMusic example from Blaine Larsen's "Chillin'": |
| 690 | -->I'm talkin' jet skis and inner tubes |
| 691 | -->Pretty girls with big ol'...blue eyes |
| 692 | * And yet another, from "The Truth About Men" by Tracy Byrd: |
| 693 | -->If you wanna know what we're all thinkin' |
| 694 | -->It's nothin' too complex |
| 695 | -->Just somethin' cold for drinkin' |
| 696 | -->And a whole lotta S-E-yeah, that's the truth about men... |
| 697 | * Little Texas gets the most brazen award for country songs that subvert a rhyme to "ass" here...not completing the rhyme, in the chorus, and then using said non-completion ''as the title of their song'', in "Kick a Little". (Though you might not know it because they set it up to rhyme with "last".) |
| 698 | * Chico Buarque, Brazilian musician, once used this in his song "Cálice". This song was a heavy protest against the military dictatorship that occupied Brazil back then. The subverted rhyme was a way to sneak in criticism of the government, making it a rare non-comedic example. It's also unusual in that the substituted part is before the part it is supposed to rhyme (he substituted the word ''puta'', which means ''bitch'' or ''whore'', for the word ''outra'', ''other''). |
| 699 | -->De que me vale ser filho da santa |
| 700 | -->Melhor seria ser filho da outra |
| 701 | -->Outra realidade menos morta |
| 702 | -->Tanta mentira, tanta força bruta |
| 703 | ** English translation: |
| 704 | -->What's the worth of being son of the saint |
| 705 | -->Would be better being son of the other |
| 706 | -->Another reality, less dead |
| 707 | -->So many lies, so much brute force |
| 708 | * Also from Brazil, but comedic: "[[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DL31Skwq3vk Julieta]]" is a raunchy [[http://www.muitamusica.com.br/2476-sandro-becker/105666-julieta-ta/letra/ succession of those]]. For one easy to translate: |
| 709 | -->I know a girl called Dorothea,\ |
| 710 | She is very sick, she's got...a cold |
| 711 | * The Brazilian version of "Happy Birthday", besides being longer, also has an example of Subverted Rhyme. In this example, they use the word "inunda" (floods/inundates) they intentionate to rhyme with "bunda" (butt), but in the last second, they change it to "bolo" (cake). |
| 712 | -->A chuva cai, a rua inunda\Eu vou comer seu bolo[[note]]The rain falls, the street floods\I'm going to eat your cake[[/note]] |
| 713 | * Mr. Brown by Glow: |
| 714 | -->Yes, Mr. Brown just doesn't look as if he's rich\ |
| 715 | Cause all the money he earns goes directly in the bank |
| 716 | * Music/TheLonelyIsland inverts using this trope for censorship in "We Like Sportz." |
| 717 | -->Single, double, triple, home run |
| 718 | -->For the celebration I'll shoot my gun |
| 719 | -->I like my friend, he's a real guy's guy |
| 720 | -->He's not a loudmouth like that cunthole, Steve! |
| 721 | ** Which is in fact a reference to another example in an older song, "Just 2 Guyz": ''I like playing games in the pool/Who invited Steve? That dude's a cunt!" |
| 722 | ** Similarly in "Natalie's Rap" ([[ExactlyWhatItSaysOnTheTin featuring]] Creator/NataliePortman): |
| 723 | -->When I was in Harvard I smoked weed every day |
| 724 | -->I cheated every test and snorted all the yay |
| 725 | -->I gotta def posse, you gotta bunch of dudes |
| 726 | -->I'll sit right down on your face and take a shit! |
| 727 | * "A Boy Named Sue" by Music/JohnnyCash and Creator/ShelSilverstein. |
| 728 | -->I got all choked up and I threw down my gun |
| 729 | -->And I called him my pa, and he called me his son |
| 730 | -->And I came away with a different point of view |
| 731 | -->And I think about him, now and then |
| 732 | -->Every time I try and every time I win |
| 733 | -->And if I ever have a son, I think I'm gonna name him... Bill! Or George! Anything but Sue! I still hate that name! |
| 734 | * Del Tha Funkee Homosapien's [[StuffyOldSongsAboutTheButtocks "What Is A Booty?"]] includes: |
| 735 | -->On behalf of my behind |
| 736 | -->I feel it is my duty to my booty |
| 737 | -->To be head of the class |
| 738 | -->When it comes to...butts |
| 739 | * Some of the alternate verses to "Old Time Religion" play with this, but specifically lampshaded in: |
| 740 | -->I will worship the great god Loki, |
| 741 | -->he's the Norse god of chaos |
| 742 | -->that's why this verse doesn't have any meter or rhyme scheme or anything like that |
| 743 | -->and that's good enough for me. |
| 744 | * [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mRaOkLj7-gI "If You Can't Smoke It, Kick It to Death"]]: |
| 745 | --> They may tell you it's only their job,\ |
| 746 | But they love it every bit,\ |
| 747 | So when they say it's not their way they're talking a lot of hypocrisy\ |
| 748 | They hate you! |
| 749 | * Most iterations of the chorus to A Tribe Called Quest's "Ham N' Eggs" ''do'' use the expected rhyme ("Not at all"), but towards the end of the song it's momentarily switched to: |
| 750 | -->I don't eat no ham n' eggs |
| 751 | -->Cuz they're high in cholesterol |
| 752 | -->Afrika do you eat 'em? No. |
| 753 | -->Pos, do you eat 'em? |
| 754 | -->Hell yeah, all the time! |
| 755 | ** Also "Can I kick it", 'hair' is forced to rhyme with everything else, but not 'wear' or 'air' |
| 756 | -->Make a note on the rhythm we gave ya |
| 757 | -->Feel free, drop your pants, check your ha-ir |
| 758 | -->Do you like the garments that we wear? |
| 759 | -->I instruct you to be the obeyer |
| 760 | -->A rhythm recipe that you`ll savor |
| 761 | -->Doesn`t matter if you`re minor or major |
| 762 | -->Yes, the tribe of the game, rhythm player |
| 763 | -->As you inhale like a breath of fresh air |
| 764 | * Music/DreamTheater's "As I Am". Might not be intentional, but it works anyway. The phrase seems like it should be "You cannot touch the way I roll" |
| 765 | -->You're thinking too much |
| 766 | -->Where is your soul? |
| 767 | -->You cannot touch the way I |
| 768 | -->Play |
| 769 | -->Or tell me what to say |
| 770 | * Toy Matinee's "Turn it on Salvador" contains this. Quoted directly from the lyrics insert: |
| 771 | -->Even tied, eggs you fried, out of luck |
| 772 | -->What the [some 15th-century German word] |
| 773 | -->[some 15th-century German word] |
| 774 | ** This may render the lyrics impossible for anyone to sing ever again, since the singer/main songwriter died, others might not remember the word, and it is incomprehensibly slurred and trailing-off; it sounds a tiny bit similar to "squawk." |
| 775 | * "Chippy Tea" by The Lancashire Hotpots: |
| 776 | -->Her inspiration's ''Ready Steady Cook''\ |
| 777 | Am I eating it? Am I...It's Friday night, I want a chippy tea! |
| 778 | ** "I Met a Girl on Website/MySpace" is even better: |
| 779 | --->It were from a lass in [[OopNorth Lancashire]], her page had loads of hits\ |
| 780 | I saw the pictures in her profile, she had absolutely massive too-ra-loo-ra-aye!\ |
| 781 | and:\ |
| 782 | She said she had no transport, so a lift she'd cadge\ |
| 783 | And if I played my cards right, I'd get to feel her too-ra-loo-ra-aye! |
| 784 | * In Music/EricBogle's "Introduction Song", in which the members of the band introduce themselves, the bass player gets this: |
| 785 | -->I play electric bass,\ |
| 786 | With an educated thumb,\ |
| 787 | If you think my face is hairy,\ |
| 788 | (instrumental line) |
| 789 | * Music/OfMontreal's "My Favorite Boxer": |
| 790 | -->Hector Ormano is my favorite boxer. \ |
| 791 | He goes smasho and everyone cheers. \ |
| 792 | He turns big men into whimpering cowards. \ |
| 793 | He's so strong and...how I adore him. |
| 794 | * Then there is the Music/EmilieAutumn version of the popular "Miss Lucy" song- here's just a part of it. (The rest can be found [[http://www.lyricstime.com/emilie-autumn-miss-lucy-had-some-leeches-lyrics.html here]]. |
| 795 | --> Miss Lucy had some leeches\ |
| 796 | Her leeches liked to suck\ |
| 797 | And when they drank up all her blood\ |
| 798 | She didn't give a\ |
| 799 | [[spoiler:Funny]] |
| 800 | * Barry Cryer and Ronnie Golden with "Big Fat John" (Prescott, that is): |
| 801 | -->He came from Hull, he was true grit.\ |
| 802 | He was full of hope and he was full of integrity. |
| 803 | * Played straight in Bob Rivers' "A Visit From Saint Nicholson": |
| 804 | -->And a stiff drink for Mommy in a nice tall glass |
| 805 | -->She could really use something to kill that bug up her chimney |
| 806 | * The bridge of Rin Barton's "Favorite Tiny Cat" has this: |
| 807 | -->Everything that happens, I know it's just bad luck |
| 808 | -->Even when I get home to find you've managed to shit on the ''wall'', how did you even ''do'' that, what the fff-- |
| 809 | -->--favorite tiny cat, you're my favorite tiny cat... |
| 810 | * Music/JohnnyHorton's "The Battle of New Orleans": |
| 811 | -->Old Hickory said we could take 'em by surprise\ |
| 812 | If we didn't fire our muskets 'til we looked 'em in the eye\ |
| 813 | We held our fire 'til we seed their faces well\ |
| 814 | Then we opened up our squirrel guns and really gave 'em -- well... |
| 815 | ** Spoofed with "The Battle of Kookamunga" by Homer and Jethro. The missing word is not a profanity, though it ''would'' make the song racier. |
| 816 | --->We kept real still and we had our eyes a-glued\ |
| 817 | We saw how they were dressed, they were swimming in the- well now... |
| 818 | * Music/FrankZappa's "Father O'Blivion" has a rather prolonged one: |
| 819 | -->He was looking rather bleary |
| 820 | -->He forgot to watch the clock |
| 821 | -->'Cause the night before behind the door |
| 822 | -->A leprechaun had stroked, yes... |
| 823 | -->The night before behind the door |
| 824 | -->A leprechaun had stroked (he stroked it!) |
| 825 | -->The night before behind the door |
| 826 | -->A leprechaun had stroked his... |
| 827 | -->Aaaaaaaaaahhhhhh -- stroked his smock! |
| 828 | * Harry Chapin's "W.O.L.D." serves up a mild variation of this, only with the "offending" word replaced with the thump of a drum rather than a different word: |
| 829 | -->There's a tire around my gut |
| 830 | -->From sittin' on my (* thump* ) |
| 831 | * And then there's [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8u0Y5Nm8In8 Wodega]], which is an entire song built on this. |
| 832 | * The last verse of "The Games People Play": |
| 833 | -->Look around tell me what you see\ |
| 834 | What's happening to you and me?\ |
| 835 | God grant me the serenity,\ |
| 836 | To remember who I am.\ |
| 837 | Cause you're giving up your sanity,\ |
| 838 | For your pride and your vanity,\ |
| 839 | Turn your back on humanity,\ |
| 840 | And you don't give a da da-da da-da... |
| 841 | * Lady Gaga's song [=LoveGame=]: |
| 842 | -->I can see you staring there from across the block\ |
| 843 | With a smile on your mouth and your hand on your HUH! |
| 844 | ** Also the chorus: |
| 845 | --> Let's have some fun, This beat is sick\ |
| 846 | I wanna take a ride on your disco stick |
| 847 | * The song "Maybe the People Would Be the Times or Between Clark and Hilldale" by Love uses an interesting variation of this. The last line of every stanza always trails off before a rhyme, but the word you'd expect to go there is then used as the first word of the next stanza. Thus: |
| 848 | -->What is happening, and how have you been?\ |
| 849 | Gotta go, but I'll see you again\ |
| 850 | And oh, the music is so loud\ |
| 851 | And then, I fade into the...\ |
| 852 | Crowds of people standing everywhere\ |
| 853 | 'Cross the street I'm at the slop affair |
| 854 | * [[http://thefump.com/fump.php?id=1202 "Don't Forget To Remember"]] by TV's Kyle includes one: |
| 855 | -->Perhaps I'll look beneath the couch |
| 856 | -->Perhaps I'll look behind the corn |
| 857 | -->Or in my closet in the back |
| 858 | -->Behind the questionable periodicals |
| 859 | ** His song [[http://www.thefump.com/fump.php?id=1119 "Peppermint Coffee"]] has: |
| 860 | -->For all the scourge of the earth boys and girls |
| 861 | -->All across the scourge of the earth universe [[LampshadeHanging (I didn't say world)]] |
| 862 | * "Check Yes Juliet", by We The Kings, starts thus: |
| 863 | -->Check yes Juliet, are you with me\ |
| 864 | Rain keeps falling down on the sidewalk |
| 865 | * Another subverted rhyme to add emphasis to the lyrics is in Yoko Ono's "I Felt Like Smashing My Face in a Clear Glass Window" |
| 866 | -->I never had a chance to choose my own parents\ |
| 867 | I never know why I should be stuck with mine\ |
| 868 | Mommy's always trying not to eat\ |
| 869 | And daddy's always smelling like he's pickled in booze |
| 870 | * Done acappella with mermaids [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lN7rrnomKNU& here]]. In the final verse, the subverted-rhyme scheme is itself subverted: |
| 871 | -->'''A:''' And when they were done with old Triton’s fair daughter\ |
| 872 | '''B:''' They dropped her exhausted back into the water\ |
| 873 | '''A:''' For each man on board had had a long stay with her\ |
| 874 | '''B:''' In which time the sailors...\ |
| 875 | ''(B puts hand over A's mouth to forestall interruption)''\ |
| 876 | '''B:''' ...had all had their way with her\ |
| 877 | '''A:''' Only because [[EthicalSlut she said it was okay with her]]. |
| 878 | * Oded Gross's "Song That Doesn't Rhyme" is built on this trope: |
| 879 | -->This is a song I wrote, it's a song that doesn't rhyme.\ |
| 880 | 'Cause I was in a hurry, and I didn't have the...patience. |
| 881 | * The Zambonis do it in their hockey rock song [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SsXEGC0ZOxU# Play to Win]]. |
| 882 | -->Well you and me\ |
| 883 | We make a pretty good team\ |
| 884 | So let's go melt some ice\ |
| 885 | If you know what I mean\ |
| 886 | You grab my stick\ |
| 887 | I'll grab your puck\ |
| 888 | Feels so good\ |
| 889 | Baby, let's play to win |
| 890 | * It may actually be unintentional, but the {{single stanza|Song}} of Music/TheRamones' "It's A Long Way Back": |
| 891 | -->You, by the phone\ |
| 892 | You, all alone\ |
| 893 | It's a long way back to Germany\ |
| 894 | It's a long way back to Germany |
| 895 | ** The expected rhyme being "home". |
| 896 | * There's this bit from Ludo's Rotten Town: |
| 897 | -->Heigh, heigh, yo-ho\ |
| 898 | O're the Atlantic we go\ |
| 899 | Drinkin' 'till we all get sick,\ |
| 900 | And comin' up with limericks\ |
| 901 | But we never quite remember how they end |
| 902 | * The rap group Music/InsaneClownPosse never blush at spewing filthy language, so they usually ''don't'' employ this trope. But, ironically, they do use it in an unexpected way in the opening verse of "The Headless Boogie": |
| 903 | -->It's Friday night\ |
| 904 | Dark, scary\ |
| 905 | Lonely walkin' through the park\ |
| 906 | Cemetery\ |
| 907 | And it's foggy\ |
| 908 | Cold and smoggy\ |
| 909 | I hear a dog\ |
| 910 | A how-a-lin' doggy\ |
| 911 | I'm scared\ |
| 912 | Shoulda brought my shotgun\ |
| 913 | Woulda, shoulda\ |
| 914 | But I ain't got one\ |
| 915 | So I watch my back\ |
| 916 | Hey, what's that?\ |
| 917 | The caretaker\ |
| 918 | A dirty old hunchback\ |
| 919 | I'd better run!\ |
| 920 | Hide!\ |
| 921 | Quick!\ |
| 922 | Fast!\ |
| 923 | He's comin' for my ass with a shovel (instead of "pick")! |
| 924 | * From Angelspit's "Kill Kitty" |
| 925 | -->I am the fire |
| 926 | -->You use me to light the gas. |
| 927 | -->You are the paper |
| 928 | -->I use you to wipe my. |
| 929 | * Double subverted by "Down in a Ditch" by Music/JoeDiffie: |
| 930 | -->I'm runnin' this shovel way down in a ditch |
| 931 | -->When you're down in a ditch, it's a son of a gun |
| 932 | -->Every fool knows you'll never get rich |
| 933 | -->When you're down in a ditch in the Tennessee sun. |
| 934 | * Music/JoDeeMessina's "I'm Done" subverts the rhyme because, if the word were there, it'd throw the meter off: |
| 935 | -->Oh, you had to scratch that itch |
| 936 | -->You deserve what you get, yeah, you and that… |
| 937 | -->Walkin' around, talk of the town... |
| 938 | * "One More Drinkin' Song" by Jerrod Niemann: |
| 939 | -->And here's to bartenders tryin' to get paid |
| 940 | -->While the rest of us are tryin' to get... (''guitar note'') |
| 941 | -->Hey hey hey, what's so wrong |
| 942 | -->With one more drinkin' song... |
| 943 | * A rather odd case in "The Cave," by Mumford and Sons. |
| 944 | -->But I will hold on hope |
| 945 | -->And I won't let you choke |
| 946 | -->On the noose around your neck |
| 947 | * Capitol Steps, "SoundOff": |
| 948 | -->'''Sergeant''': Tell that mean Iraqi nut--\ |
| 949 | '''Chorus"''' Tell that mean Iraqi nut!\ |
| 950 | '''Sergeant:''' We will never kiss his--\ |
| 951 | '''Man:''' ''(breaking rhythm)'': Whoa, Sarge! Never say never. |
| 952 | * Inverted in Music/WarrenZevon's "Genius". |
| 953 | -->There's a face in every window of the Songwriters' Neighborhood |
| 954 | -->Everybody's your best friend when you're doing well...I mean good |
| 955 | ** Zevon's "Poor, Poor, Pitiful Me" plays this trope straight. |
| 956 | --->I met a girl in the Rainbow Bar |
| 957 | --->She asked me if I'd beat her |
| 958 | --->Then she took me back to the Hiatt House |
| 959 | --->[[CountryMatters ...I don't wanna talk about it.]] |
| 960 | * "I Want Your Socks", a parody of George Michael's "I Want Your Sex" by Mark Jonathan Davis (before he became Music/RichardCheese), has: |
| 961 | -->Socks are thin and socks are thick\ |
| 962 | You can even wear one on your...hand. |
| 963 | * Sykotik Sinfoney's "Manic Depresso", best known for its use in B-movie ''Bad Channels'': |
| 964 | -->Grandma knits me a great big sweater |
| 965 | -->My little life can't get no better |
| 966 | -->Life's so happy and full of joy |
| 967 | -->I'm lying, it really sucks! |
| 968 | * Music/{{Aerosmith}}'s "Dude Looks Like A Lady" has a variation, setting up one obvious rhyme (given the subject matter) but then rhyming with a different word instead. |
| 969 | -->Love put me wise |
| 970 | -->To her love in disguise |
| 971 | -->She had the body of a Venus |
| 972 | -->Lord, imagine my surprise! |
| 973 | * Carcass' "Don't Believe a Word" has these verses: |
| 974 | -->Fact and fantasy united as one\ |
| 975 | Real power stems form the barrel of a pen |
| 976 | * An example from Art Brut's "Ice Hockey" where Eddie Argos sings; |
| 977 | -->My time on Earth was a lot of fun |
| 978 | -->But the adventure has only just started |
| 979 | * Music/DeadKennedys' cover of "I Fought the Law" does this at the outset, mostly to starkly contrast their modified version of the lyrics from the original's: |
| 980 | -->Drinkin' beer in the hot sun |
| 981 | -->I fought the law and I won |
| 982 | -->I needed sex and I got mine |
| 983 | -->I fought the law and I won |
| 984 | * The W.A.S.P. song "Blind In Texas" has this verse: |
| 985 | -->Raisin' hell in Austin, just after sundown |
| 986 | -->when the hoosegow police decided to come 'round. |
| 987 | -->They said, "What's the matter with you? |
| 988 | -->Whatcha tryin' to do?" |
| 989 | -->I looked at the man, and I said... |
| 990 | -->''(Blackie's obvious response isn't censored, but simply omitted as the song moves along to the chorus.)'' |
| 991 | * From Bela Fleck's "The Message": |
| 992 | -->Taxes for the poor, none for the rich |
| 993 | -->People starving in America, now ain't that a bummer |
| 994 | * "Fish" by Craig Campbell: |
| 995 | -->I had everything we needed in the back of my truck |
| 996 | -->Turns out my baby loves to... |
| 997 | -->Fish, she wants to do it all the time |
| 998 | -->Early in the morning, in the middle of the night |
| 999 | -->She's hooked and now she can't get enough |
| 1000 | -->Man, that girl sure loves to fish |
| 1001 | * "Beat Up Guitar" by the Hooters [The Frankford El is an elevated train line in Philadelphia. The couplet is older than the song, being used in jumprope rhymes years before the song was released.]: |
| 1002 | -->Oh you can't get to Heaven on the Frankford El |
| 1003 | -->Cause the Frankford El goes straight to Frankford |
| 1004 | * Inverted in "Whiskey's Gone" by the Music/ZacBrownBand: |
| 1005 | -->Well I stumble my way into my local bar |
| 1006 | -->Where I saw the devil in my glass |
| 1007 | -->The bartender told me it was time to go |
| 1008 | -->I told him that he could lick my sack |
| 1009 | * In the Music/LeetStreetBoys song, [[UnsettlingGenderReveal "Lady And The Trap"]] |
| 1010 | -->A J-pop song comes on we start to rock (wo-oh) |
| 1011 | -->She reached up my leg to grab my...hand (wo-oh) |
| 1012 | * Music/{{Eminem}}: |
| 1013 | ** A joke in "Low Down, Dirty" (a song written after Eminem's style had been accused of being [[FollowTheLeader derivative]]) does an interesting variation, where the replacement word isn't what you expect, but fits the rhyme scheme... and so does the LampshadeHanging. |
| 1014 | --->Used to let the babysitter suck my dick when I was littler\ |
| 1015 | Smoke a blunt while I'm titty fucking Bette Midler\ |
| 1016 | Sniper, waiting on your roof like the Fiddler\ |
| 1017 | ...Y'all thought I was gonna rhyme with Riddler,\ |
| 1018 | didn't ya?\ |
| 1019 | Bring your bitch, I wanna see if this dick gon' fit in her |
| 1020 | ** Em skirts this in "Criminal": |
| 1021 | ---> I got more liquor to fuck me up quicker\ |
| 1022 | Than you'd wanna fuck me up for saying the word...(''[[NWordPrivileges left unsaid]]'') |
| 1023 | ** "Killshot" has this to Eminem's then-recent pledge to not use a particular slur against gay men in his songs any more. |
| 1024 | --->So just leave my dick in your mouth and\ |
| 1025 | keep my daughter out it [[note]]pronounced like 'at it', to form the rhyme[[/note]],\ |
| 1026 | you fuuuckin' — oh. |
| 1027 | ** In "These Demons": |
| 1028 | ---> I got a question (What?)\ |
| 1029 | What rhymes with pariah?\ |
| 1030 | (I don't know) Mm, tsk, uh, [[Music/MariahCarey LEGO]]? |
| 1031 | * Combined with RhymingWithItself in Cracker's "Ms. Santa Cruz County": |
| 1032 | -->The blue ladies rode the bikes |
| 1033 | -->And what they were, we assumed, rhymed with bikes |
| 1034 | * Two examples from Music/EricBogle: |
| 1035 | ** "Plastic Paddy": |
| 1036 | -->"When Irish Eyes are Smiling" and "The Mountains of Mourne" |
| 1037 | -->In his search for Celtic chiché, the man has left no stone unturned |
| 1038 | -->'Til he embarks upon the harp that once through terraced halls |
| 1039 | -->Accompanying himself on the Bodhrán, which takes a lot of...courage. |
| 1040 | ** "World Cup Fever": |
| 1041 | -->And when some stupid damn committee gave the match to Melbourne City |
| 1042 | -->Though it made us all feel quite...annoyed, we didn't cause a fuss. |
| 1043 | * From the Roger Clyne and the Peacemakers song "Counterclockwise" |
| 1044 | -->Well the gringo boys got their dark sunglasses |
| 1045 | -->And the girls on the beach are all shaking their fingers |
| 1046 | -->'Cause no matter how dark the lenses they can see |
| 1047 | -->That the eyes and the minds of the boys are somewhere they ain't supposed to be. |
| 1048 | * There's one from Anthony and Those Other Guys: [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iyDJXhNhLAI&feature=plcp&context=C30b5a67UDOEgsToPDskI2-IF09xnpUQosrN2xh-0d Thormas Time]] |
| 1049 | -->Thormas Time |
| 1050 | -->Is in its prime |
| 1051 | -->That rhyme really sucked |
| 1052 | -->But if thou doth not sacrifice |
| 1053 | -->Then thine life will be fff-false and meaningless |
| 1054 | * Rappy Mcrapperson's song, "Curse In your Verses", is all about how he cusses too much, yet doesn't contain a single cuss. This is as close as it gets: |
| 1055 | -->Saying swears a whole lot, not a little bit |
| 1056 | -->Cursing in my verses, cause I don't give a whaaat! |
| 1057 | * Music/MFDoom is fond of doing this. Just one of many examples: |
| 1058 | -->As a few good men set sights to link with your chick |
| 1059 | -->You have to find a new hen fight to drink your liq' |
| 1060 | -->Ten years later, see how Enzyte'll shrink your...wallet |
| 1061 | * 1960s group Doug Clark & the Hot Nuts does this in their DoubleEntendre-loaded "Hot Nuts Theme #1" |
| 1062 | -->Well roses are red and ready for plucking |
| 1063 | -->And girls out of high school are ready for...college |
| 1064 | The fact that it ''is'' subverted makes this [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rAD8-0MBfso possibly one of the cleanest lines in the song.]] |
| 1065 | * Music/TomSmith's song have several instances. |
| 1066 | ** [[http://www.thefump.com/fump.php?id=1543 "Quit Freaking Out Over Boobs"]] has: |

| 1070 | --->I finally get it, I want to stay friends\ |
| 1071 | And so I'm not telling you how this song |
| 1072 | * Los Campesinos!' "Baby I Got the Death Rattle" |
| 1073 | --> And I chewed my only necktie from the metal frame of my bed |
| 1074 | --> Where I tied your wrists together spent all night giving oh you get the message don't you? |
| 1075 | * And of course, there is the chorus line for "Last Kiss" by J. Franklin Wilson and the Cavaliers: |
| 1076 | -->Well, where oh where can my baby be? |
| 1077 | -->The Lord took her away from me |
| 1078 | -->She's gone to heaven, so I've got to be good |
| 1079 | -->So I can see my baby when I leave this world |
| 1080 | * "Hot Problems" by Double Take. |
| 1081 | -->They see my blonde hair, blue eyes and class\ |
| 1082 | But they don't know I have a really big heart |
| 1083 | * Music/SoulJunk's "3PO Soul": |
| 1084 | -->Got kicked off the lectern at a worship song summit\ |
| 1085 | My hymns all plummet cuz church ladies still can't hum it\ |
| 1086 | But the kingdom of God, yeah I'm from it\ |
| 1087 | Man's religion gave me a fake red light so I'm a have to WOOP WOOP WOOP |
| 1088 | * [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FkorOOWwnN8 Ben Champion's "That Autocorrect Song"]] has a few examples, with the gag being that the lines were ''supposed'' to rhyme before his phone's autocorrect function got in the way: |
| 1089 | -->This song is one long apology, I admit... |
| 1090 | -->This phone is a fluffing piece of shut |
| 1091 | * From [[http://insaneian.bandcamp.com/track/moves-like-frogger-feat-the-stacey "Moves Like Frogger"]] by Insane Ian: |
| 1092 | -->To zig zag through trucks, I'm trying my luck |
| 1093 | -->I don't give a... crap |
| 1094 | * Dave Matthews uses this to add a little extra tragedy to "Gravedigger": |
| 1095 | -->Little Mikey Carson, 'sixty-seven to 'seventy-five |
| 1096 | -->He rode his bike like the devil until the day he died |
| 1097 | -->When he grows up he wants to be |
| 1098 | -->Mr. Vertigo on the flying trapeze |
| 1099 | -->Oh, nineteen forty to nineteen ninety... TWO! |
| 1100 | * From the [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=f488uJAQgmw Norwegian song]] "[=Æ=]ØÅ," aka "Size Matters": |
| 1101 | -->We got twenty-nine letters |
| 1102 | -->You only got twenty-six |
| 1103 | -->Let's see how big you are |
| 1104 | -->When you suck our fucking...'''vowels''' |
| 1105 | * "I'm Keeping Your Shit" by HayseedDixie, a {{Bluegrass}} band that usually does covers. |
| 1106 | --> You thought you took everything\ |
| 1107 | but you left something behind for me.\ |
| 1108 | I scooped it out, I bottled it up,\ |
| 1109 | and now it's there on the stand on the bed to remind me\ |
| 1110 | in case I ever forget\ |
| 1111 | you're just a piece of... poop. |
| 1112 | * [[http://www.thefump.com/fump.php?id=1612 "When You Wish Upon a Death Star"]] by [[Music/TheGreatLukeSki the great Luke Ski]] has: |
| 1113 | -->'''Luke:''' I wanna be a Jedi Master, |
| 1114 | -->And get my ship out of that ditch. |
| 1115 | -->'''Yoda:''' Well, do or do not, there is no try, |
| 1116 | -->And stop being such a whiny apprentice. Hoo hoo hoo... |
| 1117 | * The Dutch comedian André Van Duin in his song "I don't have my day today" goes through a whole list of bad stuff, including the following line that [[IncidentalMultilingualWordplay works the same in Dutch as in English]]: |
| 1118 | --> Did you fall through the floor, |
| 1119 | --> Is your sis playing ... mandolin. |
| 1120 | * Music/HueyLewisAndTheNews: One of their many hits, "The Heart of Rock and Roll," invokes the trope towards the end of the second verse: |
| 1121 | -->When they play their music, that hard rock music. \ |
| 1122 | They back it with a lot of flash.\ |
| 1123 | But it's still that same ol' back beat rhythm\ |
| 1124 | that really, really kicks them in the...\ |
| 1125 | ''(The expected rude rhyme "ass" is never sung, and the song goes to the chorus instead.)'' |
| 1126 | * IdaMaria plays with it in "Cherry Red": |
| 1127 | -->I'm gonna be your girl tonight\ |
| 1128 | I'm gonna make you apple pie\ |
| 1129 | I'm gonna wear my cherry red\ |
| 1130 | I'm gonna give you lotsa |
| 1131 | ** The line cuts off and goes straight into the next verse in the chorus which repeats the last two lines, but adds "room in bed" to the end. |
| 1132 | ** Note that due to her accent, 'tonight' and 'pie' actually do rhyme and are not examples of this trope. |
| 1133 | * The Music/PoxyBoggards have a rather explicit song called "Hey Nonny Nonny" that incorporates this trope, both with one part of the group oversinging the other at a crucial word, or simply changing the expected word. The chorus, as an example of the second variety, goes: |
| 1134 | -->Be they ugly or unsightly |
| 1135 | -->or just plain make you sick. |
| 1136 | -->Every girl is pretty |
| 1137 | -->with her lips wrapped 'round your... |
| 1138 | -->Hey Nonny Nonny |
| 1139 | -->Hey Nonny Nonny |
| 1140 | -->Hey Nonny Nonny |
| 1141 | -->Hey Hey Hey |
| 1142 | * In Taco's "Tribute to Tino," he described [[https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rudolph_Valentino Valentino]] thus: |
| 1143 | -->He ruled the golden silent screen |
| 1144 | -->He haunted millions in their dreams |
| 1145 | -->His memory lives on till today |
| 1146 | -->Some even say that he was lonely |
| 1147 | * "Shame" by The Avett Brothers: |
| 1148 | -->The truth be known, the truth be told |
| 1149 | -->My heart was always fairly cold |
| 1150 | -->Posing to be as warm as yours |
| 1151 | -->My way of getting in your world |
| 1152 | * [[http://www.thefump.com/fump.php?id=1682 "The Tale of King Arthur as Told by a Redneck"]] by Danny Birt has: |
| 1153 | -->Well, Arthur Pendragon was a good ol' boy |
| 1154 | -->He roamed the wild woods on the island of Britain. |
| 1155 | -->He killed boars and deers with bows and arrows. |
| 1156 | -->He'd wipe his butt with grass when he was done shi -- you know, takin' a dump. |
| 1157 | * Flash and the Pan, "The Opera Singers" (complete with rhetorical pause): |
| 1158 | -->You think you're sitting pretty, your fingers on the brass |
| 1159 | -->And you stand there looking silly with your finger in your...glass |
| 1160 | * Gratuitous German example by Hubert Kah: |
| 1161 | -->Hier spricht Captain Kemmler |
| 1162 | -->aus jedem deutschen Sender |
| 1163 | -->mit seinem Riesen...JAGAGAGAGAGAGA! [[note]]Ständer. (=boner)[[/note]] |
| 1164 | * "Captain Hampton and the Midget Pirates!" by Music/TheAquabats: |
| 1165 | -->Now seven weeks into the trip\ |
| 1166 | And Jim was sick to the death\ |
| 1167 | Of being sick\ |
| 1168 | Some kind of action he wanted\ |
| 1169 | As he searched the seas\ |
| 1170 | For every day was the same old... ''stuff''\ |
| 1171 | \ |
| 1172 | The night he felt like jumping ship\ |
| 1173 | But then he heard a crash\ |
| 1174 | Hit the starboard side of the ship\ |
| 1175 | And dumped him out of his bunk\ |
| 1176 | Onto his bottom |
| 1177 | * Music/{{The Cure|Band}}'s "Doing The Unstuck" -- though there is a rhyme in this stanza, it's not on the word you might expect: |
| 1178 | -->It's a perfect day for doing the unstuck |
| 1179 | -->For dancing like you can't hear the beat |
| 1180 | -->And you don't give a '''fu'''rther thought |
| 1181 | -->To things like feet |
| 1182 | * Music/KaceyMusgraves, "Follow Your Arrow": |
| 1183 | -->If you save yourself for marriage, you're a bore |
| 1184 | -->If you don't save yourself for marriage, you're a whore-able person |
| 1185 | * Musical comedian Stephen Lynch does this in his song about how much he loves black women: |
| 1186 | -->Just don't take it personally, this is no attack |
| 1187 | -->But we will never last because I am white, and you are...also white |
| 1188 | * Music/TroutFishingInAmerica does this in their song "Why I Pack My Lunch," which is about exaggeratedly terrible cafeteria food: |
| 1189 | --> Good food's rare as Halley's comet |
| 1190 | --> This stuff makes me want to... Leave the table |
| 1191 | * From the Travis Shredd song "Smoove Flava": |
| 1192 | -->Looky merfdog, back behind the keys |
| 1193 | -->Growlin' like a demon, bring ya to your knees |
| 1194 | -->He plays the purty piano parts and drives a big ol' truck |
| 1195 | -->Plus he really likes to... frolic |
| 1196 | * From the Music/KatyPerry song "Dark Horse" Featuring Jucy J: |
| 1197 | --> Cause once you're mine |
| 1198 | --> There's no goin' back! |
| 1199 | * Subverted and then inverted by Cherry Ghost in the song "Bad Crowd" |
| 1200 | --> Her brother's in the National Front |
| 1201 | --> Thinks Martin Luther King is a c...ondescending, stupid old son-of-a-bitch |
| 1202 | * From the Throwing Toasters song "The R.A. Song": |
| 1203 | -->It was a shock to this poor fellow, |
| 1204 | -->When the students went and filled his room up with red Jello. |
| 1205 | -->And as if that didn't royally suck, |
| 1206 | -->He then walked in on two students who were just starting to f...ffffeed their dog. |
| 1207 | * Barnes & Barnes has these lyrics in the song "I Hope She Dies". |
| 1208 | -->My girlfriend left me a month ago. |
| 1209 | -->I hope she gets hit by a truck. |
| 1210 | -->She split and hurt my big ego. |
| 1211 | -->Now there's no one to kiss. |
| 1212 | * The Dutch band Music/DoeMaar has a very famous one in the song "Pa" from ''Music/VirusAlbum'', where they sing ''Ik doe de dingen die ik doe/ met mijn ogen dicht'', which translates as ''I do the things that I do/ with my eyes closed.'' Because of the word ''doe'' everyone expects the line to be ''met mijn ogen '''toe''' '', but instead they use a synonym ''dicht''. |
| 1213 | * Meghan Trainor's "Dear Future Husband" has one it lampshades: |
| 1214 | -->I'll be sleeping on the left side of the bed |
| 1215 | -->Open doors for me and you might get some... kisses |
| 1216 | -->Don't have a dirty mind, just be a classy guy |
| 1217 | * Bitter:Sweet's song "Dirty Laundry" contains the following couplet: |
| 1218 | -->I'll light a candle for good luck\ |
| 1219 | Come on, baby -- Let's... ''[heavy breathing]'' Oooooh... |
| 1220 | * From the TheEdlos song "Garbage Man": |
| 1221 | -->Filthy refuse, I love it |
| 1222 | -->Dirty diapers, full of... ({{Beat}}) poo-poo |
| 1223 | * "Goethe war gut" by Rudi Carrell does this on absolutely ''every'' occasion in the verses to drive the point home that the narrator can't rhyme nearly as good as Creator/JohannWolfgangVonGoethe whom he worships. |
| 1224 | * The Saxonian group Sachsendreier loved to do this many times on their album ''Sachsenlieder'' with quite bulky synomyms. |
| 1225 | ** Last four lines in "Straßenbahn fahr'n", repeating the verse: |
| 1226 | --->Straßenbahn fahr'n ist schön,\ |
| 1227 | Ich könnte immer wieder Straßenbahn fahr'n geh'n.\ |
| 1228 | Straßenbahn fahr'n ist heiß,\ |
| 1229 | Das [[UsefulNotes/GermanDialects eenzsche]], was mich stört, das ist das Personenbeförderungsentgelt. |
| 1230 | ** "Cowboy": |
| 1231 | --->Er kaut an einem Stückchen Wurst,\ |
| 1232 | Da überkommt ihn großer Flüssigkeitsbedarf. |
| 1233 | * Creator/DannyKaye's "D-O-D-G-E-R-S Song" about a game between the Dodgers and the Giants: |
| 1234 | -->At the bag he beats the tag, |
| 1235 | -->That mighty little waif. |
| 1236 | -->And umpire Conlan cries, “You’re out!” |
| 1237 | * From Music/{{Brentalfloss}}' "3DS Streetpass With Lyrics": |
| 1238 | -->And to whoever's next, I'll write up some text |
| 1239 | -->To my heart's content |
| 1240 | -->But since there's only sixteen letters, it says: |
| 1241 | -->"Hi, my name is B" |
| 1242 | ** The first lines of "''VideoGame/FinalFantasyVII'' With Lyrics". |
| 1243 | -->Disc One spins and a tale begins |
| 1244 | -->About a punky dude who's emo just a bit? |
| 1245 | -->His memory's shit, but he's real tight-knit |
| 1246 | -->With a childhood friend who has enormous... eyes! |
| 1247 | * Music/VictoriaJustice and Elizabeth Gillies' "Take a Hint": |
| 1248 | -->'''Liz:''' I don't want to be a priss, I'm just try'na be polite\ |
| 1249 | But it always seems to bite me in the–\ |
| 1250 | '''Victoria:''' Ask me for my number, yeah, you put me on the spot...\ |
| 1251 | Get your hands off my hips, 'fore I'll punch you in the lips\ |
| 1252 | Stop your staring at my... Hey!\ |
| 1253 | Take a hint, take a hint! |
| 1254 | * Every verse in the song "The Bumblebee Invaded a Nudist Colony" is about the bumblebee stinging one of the nudists, but it cuts to the refrain before stating which body part the bumblebee stung. |
| 1255 | -->Big Fat Bill was naked as he could be\ |
| 1256 | He was happy to be living in the colony\ |
| 1257 | Then he got tired and laid in the grass\ |
| 1258 | And the bumblebee stung him on his big fat-- |
| 1259 | * Frankie Ballard's "It All Started with a Beer" is an unusual variant, in that the subverted word comes first: |
| 1260 | -->You weren’t shooting whiskey, just shooting the shhh…\ |
| 1261 | I paid the tab, we walked out the door, and I remember thinking "this was it" |
| 1262 | * Lampshaded in Music/TwentyOnePilots' "Stressed Out": |
| 1263 | -->I wish I found some better sounds no one's ever heard\ |
| 1264 | I wish I had a better voice that sang some better words\ |
| 1265 | I wish I found some chords in an order that is new\ |
| 1266 | I wish I didn't have to rhyme every time I sang |
| 1267 | * "Walkin' Blues," made famous by Fluffy Hunter and the Jesse Powell Orchestra, is nothing but this trope. [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6pKMXLSdr-E From 1951.]] |
| 1268 | --> I got a man who likes to hunt the buck\ |
| 1269 | I got a man who likes to hunt the buck\ |
| 1270 | When he comes home in the morning all he wants to do is -- '''walk right in, walk right out...''' |
| 1271 | * From Music/FlightOfTheConchords' "Hiphopopotamus vs. Rhymenocerous" |
| 1272 | -->They call me the Hiphopopotamus\ |
| 1273 | Flows that glow like phosphorous\ |
| 1274 | Poppin' off the top o' this esophagus\ |
| 1275 | Rockin' this metropolis\ |
| 1276 | I'm not a large water-dwelling mammal\ |
| 1277 | Where did you get that preposterous hypothesis?\ |
| 1278 | Did Steve tell you that, perchance?\ |
| 1279 | Hmph... ''Steve''... |
| 1280 | * Herbert Grönemeyer in "Currywurst": "Auf dem Hemd, auf der Jacke, Mensch das ist doch ne...[[note]]Kacke (shit)[[/note]]...alles voll Currywurst!" |
| 1281 | * Marius Müller-Westernhagen in "Mit Pfefferminz bin ich dein Prinz": "An der Macht da sind die Weißen, darauf reimt sich schschsch..." [[note]]scheißen (to shit)[[/note]] |
| 1282 | * Gebrüder Blattschuss in "Kreuzberger Nächte": "Das ist so krank wie meine Leber, sag ich barsch –- Die zwölf Semester war'n doch nicht so ganz...umsonst!" [[note]]im Arsch (in the ass; means: in vain)[[/note]] |
| 1283 | * Music/FlandersAndSwann: "Satellite Moon" ends with one, because the original, rhyming ending ("And the girl in my arms... is a boy") was judged too controversial at the time. |
| 1284 | * Dave [=McCarn=]'s "Cotton Mill Colic": |
| 1285 | -->We can't make it; we never will,\ |
| 1286 | As long as we stay at a lousy mill.\ |
| 1287 | The poor are gettin' poorer; the rich are gettin' rich.\ |
| 1288 | If I don't starve, I'm a son of a gun. |
| 1289 | * German punk(?!?) band Rocket Freudental has a headscratcher in "Das Reine und das Gute". |
| 1290 | -->Im Wald hat es geschneit, dort können wir uns verstecken, |
| 1291 | -->das ist der beste Platz denn wir sind...(weiss mit schwarzen Flecken) |
| 1292 | In the first rounds of the verse the bracketed part is replaced by a beat, and in any case one expects "Schnecken". But snails are not the least bawdy...[[note]]In the forest it has snowed, we can hide there, this is the best place because we are white with black spots[[/note]] |
| 1293 | * Juanes' hit song "La Camisa Negra" has a rather blunt one: |
| 1294 | -->''Tengo la camisa negra''[[note]]I'm wearing a black shirt[[/note]]\ |
| 1295 | ''Ya tu amor no me interesa''[[note]]I'm not interested in your love anymore[[/note]]\ |
| 1296 | ''Lo que ayer me supo a gloria''[[note]]What tasted like glory to me yesterday[[/note]]\ |
| 1297 | ''Hoy me sabe a pura...''[[note]]Now tastes like pure...[[/note]]\ |
| 1298 | ''Miércoles por la tarde y tú que no llegas''[[note]]Wednesday afternoon and you still aren't here[[/note]] |
| 1299 | ** In place of ''miércoles'' (Wednesday) in the last line, the listener expects to hear ''mierda'' (shit), especially since the line sounds like it's about to end. |
| 1300 | * "Prayers For The Damned" by Music/SixxAM just doesn't deliver the rhyme: |
| 1301 | -->Everything is crumbling in my head\ |
| 1302 | Sometimes I wish I was... |
| 1303 | * "All Things Considered" by Yankee Grey: |
| 1304 | -->Well, my car broke down again right before it ran out of gas\ |
| 1305 | Yeah, my boss is still ringing in my head: 'One more time and your out on your...yeah' |
| 1306 | * Benny Hill's "In My Garden of Love": the original version has |
| 1307 | -->Oh there's a beetroot for the day that you said that you'd beetroo' to me,\ |
| 1308 | A sweet pea for the sweet way you always smiled at me |
| 1309 | ** A later version was a bit more daring, distorting the meter and leading the listener a bit further: |
| 1310 | -->A sweet pea for the sweet way you always ''used to'' smile at me |
| 1311 | * "E Eats Everything" by Music/TheyMightBeGiants does this to avoid trademark issues: |
| 1312 | -->H burns food so horrible |
| 1313 | -->All I tastes is smoke |
| 1314 | -->J just likes drinking juice |
| 1315 | -->And K drinks only soda |
| 1316 | * ''Music/{{Songdrops}}'': |
| 1317 | ** In "For Dad", the protagonist says that sometimes he acts like an angel from Heaven and sometimes like a rebel from... then, he trails off. |
| 1318 | ** Subverted in "There's a Cow in My Soup", where the chorus goes, "There's a cow, there's a cow, in my soup, in my soup. That might be why, that might be why, it [[RoadApples smells like]]... it smells like [[GrossoutFakeout cow]]." However, they later rhyme "cow" with "Please re-[[{{Pun}} moo]]-ve it now." |
| 1319 | ** In "I Don't Like Tomatoes", every line ends on a word that rhymes with "fart", but then is followed by "I don't like tomatoes, they always make me far... too unhappy." |
| 1320 | ** Subverted in "If Our Love was an Outhouse", which has the chorus end in "If our love was a camel it never would spit. If our love was an outhouse it would smell like... a barbecue pit." |
| 1321 | ** In "Before I Could Rhyme", every sentence ends in a subverted rhyme, such as "I know it sounds funny. How am I supposed to buy things without any... time?", because the protagonist hasn't learnt to rhyme yet. |
| 1322 | * "Let's Kill The Trendy" by Sloppy Seconds actually ''subverts'' this. It's played straight in every verse except the last, which drops the expected S-bomb. |
| 1323 | * Both singers do it in "Let's Go Home Together" by Ella Henderson and Tom Grennam (the first one works better in Henderson's Lincolnshire accent): |
| 1324 | -->'''Ella''': I'd never have given you a second look,\ |
| 1325 | But I like the way you don't give a ... damn.\ |
| 1326 | ...\ |
| 1327 | '''Tom''': Even though you talk way too fast,\ |
| 1328 | I can't stop looking at your ... eyes. |
| 1329 | * Thomas B Wild Esq. does this repeatedly in [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=34qHdSo20ow I'm Just Here For The Swearing]] with a {{MidwordRhyme}} of the words struck, admit and punt. The song contains no actual swearing. |
| 1330 | * The opening for Music/DanBull's "Rap Roast" on WebVideo/{{Jacksfilms}} goes as such: |
| 1331 | -->Ladies and gentleman, give it up for Jack Douglass!\ |
| 1332 | What a lovely chap, goodness\ |
| 1333 | Oozes from his pores like a cup of that... [[FrothyMugsOfWater bubbly stuff]] |
| 1334 | * Music/TheChalkeaters' song [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jpw2ebhTSKs "COUNT TO THREE"]], which teases Creator/{{Valve}}'s apparent inability to release a game with "3" in its name, has Creator/GabeNewell singing this at one point: |
| 1335 | -->I had it all but tried new things, true\ |
| 1336 | It didn't get us very far\ |
| 1337 | Between controllers and machines, you\ |
| 1338 | Still picked a rusty old crowbar\ |
| 1339 | Nobody sees beyond my charming self\ |
| 1340 | A soul that's never truly free\ |
| 1341 | So just for once, forget the summer sale\ |
| 1342 | And give it up for ''VideoGame/HalfLife''... ''[[VideoGame/HalfLifeAlyx Alyx]]'' |
| 1343 | * Used in Music/TheStupendium's ''VideoGame/AnimalCrossingNewHorizons'' fan song "Nook, Line and Sinker", to censor out what would otherwise be the only cussword in the entire song. |
| 1344 | -->Overworked, underpaid, that poor little Shih Tzu\ |
| 1345 | Managing a bunch of animals, I guess it really is a — ''I guess you see the pun there...'' |
| 1346 | * One version of the {{Music/Weezer}} outtake "Charlie Brown" -- the expected rhyme would either be "attitude" or a callback to the title of their album ''{{Music/Raditude}}'': |
| 1347 | -->I don't wanna deal with tasteless food |
| 1348 | -->It's the '90s so we oughta have some ratatouille (yep) |
| 1349 | * "Wicked Witch" by Creator/DemonsAndWizards, near the beginning: "We all know the rules/Water will be shed/The wicked witch is--" and then it just stops short, and the well-known line "The wicked witch is dead" isn't explicitly said until the end of the song. |
| 1350 | * "Super Hoe", by the [[Music/KRSOne Boogie Down Productions]]: |
| 1351 | -->If you claim to have a little problem\ |
| 1352 | Well, Scott La Rock knows just how to solve 'em\ |
| 1353 | If you're a guy, a nine'll do the trick\ |
| 1354 | But if you're a girl, you need some... flowers |
| 1355 | * Oscar Brand's Marines-oriented version of "Gee But I Wanna Go Home": |
| 1356 | -->The uniform they give us they say is sure to fit\ |
| 1357 | We walk along the highway, we look like a sack of grit |
| 1358 | * Music/TheWolfeTones' song "Janey Mac, I'm Nearly 40" contains the following lines: |
| 1359 | -->So all you knockers and begrudgers, you will admit we have that touch of class\ |
| 1360 | If not, we'll send you our new record and you can [[AssShove stick it up your]] '''[[AssShove jumper]]'''. |
| 1361 | * Little Charlie & the Nightcats' "Run Me Down" |
| 1362 | -->The little bitty chicken\ |
| 1363 | Told the great big duck\ |
| 1364 | You know, you're kinda ugly\ |
| 1365 | But you sure know how to ... swim |
