Listening to oldies, I heard another dovetailing Music example. The song is about a man having a date with a woman named Ariel. In her apartment, with the television signing off at the end of the broadcasting day, "we made love to bombs bursting in aiiiiir....." (no breath before going into chorus) "AAAAriel!"

Do believe it's called a Chain Rhyme.

Edit: Ah on closer inspection it's not, as your examples don't repeat the "chain" words.

I don't think I can YKTTW it, with only the two examples.

You can YKTTW with two examples. You can't launch it with two examples.

Been wracking my brain, now I'm going to add it to YKTTW as Dovetailing Lines until there is a better name for it. The trouble is, I'm having an easier time describing what it's not than what it

.....is.....

there a better way to explain it?
