What's the worst rhyming couplet you've ever heard?
For me, it has to be "Interior crocodile alligator/I drive a Chevrolet movie theater," spat by "rapper" Chip tha Ripper.

I have several candidates:
the Undertones - "My perfect cousin/What I like to do he dousin' "
Human Sexual Response - "I wanna be Jackie Onassis/ I wanna wear a pair of dark sunglasses"
from "If I were a bell" (Guys and Dolls) - to rhyme with "caressing" they have "If I were a salad I'd splash my dressing".
Finally, one of my own which I wrote at the larp the other weekend, as a spoof of awful musical numbers. It describes "Calmo", a sedative which I'd invented from a home chemistry set...
"- and when your life gets hectic/my chemically eclectic/potion helps keep ev'rybody ca-alm"
a friend of mine is totally convinced she can rhyme 'orange' with 'car hinge' which is supposed to be a big deal because orange is so hard to rhyme. however, whenever she or anyone else i know says it it really doesn't rhyme and actually causes physical pain to my ears
Yeah, but "Eleanor" was in the top 10 on the charts at the time. Your entry is obscure and virtually unknown. You can still hear Eleanor on the radio from time to time - it is a telling reflection of the idiocy of the Amerikan public.

That sounds absolutely brilliant actually.

Duane: You know what they say about love and war.
Tim: Yes, one involves a lot of physical and psychological pain, and the other one's war.
