    • i also really HATE it

      when people use some variation of "if i stumble, if i fall"

      IndieAndy_Jones @IndieAndy_Jones | 3 Jan '07, 14:11 | X
      • bf

        yes...that one is horrific. I almost wrote a song with that sort of thing in it, but instead I chopped of my own hands, with my feet.

        Much better plan, I felt

        grockle @IndieAndy_Jones | 3 Jan '07, 14:26 | X
      • But it does work in REM's "Walk Unafraid" which is probably one of their best songs.

          • yeah

          -gen- | 3 Jan '07, 15:08 | X
        • I'm sure there's a song with

          'gruesome' and 'twosome' in it.

          'mobile library' and 'peripatetically'...

          me think of Sir Mix alot
          "I like big butts and I cannot lie
          You other brothers can't deny". I always thought he said 'Yeah that's right"

        • feeling - ceiling

          Filip | 3 Jan '07, 17:40 | X
        • is this that much of a big deal?

          if the sentence/sentence fragment before the rhyme is good, isn't that ok? i mean, eminem has seriously bizarre rhymes and everything he's done since 2001 has been horrible. like poor-housing-or-guns-to-your-follicles, G UNIIIT!

        • you - do

          klaire | 4 Jan '07, 01:29 | X
        • i must say though

          people STILL rhyming "breaking up" and "making up" pisses me off. monosyllables are excusable. not that shit

          spookyelectric | 4 Jan '07, 01:40 | X
        • hackney - acne

          alright i've never heard it but i'm determined that there will be a song in my lifetime that uses it

                • Some of these rhymes are actually quite good

                  but if it's cliched you're after surely 'All night' and 'feel alright' must be up there

                  thedailygrowl @vampire_nights | 4 Jan '07, 12:30 | X
                • Ball Sac - Prozac?

                • I don't think it's possible for just one word to be a cliche...

                  ...It depends on the sentence preceding it.

                  • the one that always sticks

                    in my mind is from a robbie williams tune

                    'yesterday when we were walking
                    you talked about your mum and your dad
                    and what they did to make you happy
                    what they did to make you sad'

                  • Also.

                    Its worth pointing out the lyrics to Rebellion by the Arcade Fire. I think they're really bad. The rhymes.

                    Brothers. Lovers. Covers.

                    Water. Daughter.

                    :'(
