When a songwriter asks what rhymes with astronaut, the pool tells a specific story: there are essentially no strict perfect rhymes, no family rhymes survive the strict family test, while the assonance pool has more matches than any verse will use.

Why astronaut rhymes the way it does
The rhyme map for astronaut starts at the vowel โ the wide /ษห/, IPA /ษห/ โ and ends where the line lands on a stopped consonant. In our 54,000-word dictionary the perfect-rhyme pool returns 0 matches, family rhymes 0, additive and subtractive together 60, assonance 6,670, and consonance 0. That's a narrow strict column with a very deep slant well beneath it. Modern songwriting reads those slants as rhymes; the ear has been trained on them for a century. The songwriter's move is to pick a small set of strict rhymes for the chorus and open up to family and assonance through the verses. Astronaut rewards slant rhyming because the strict pool, when over-used, calls attention to itself.
