Words that rhyme with Bungalow
Bungalow, a three-syllable common-tongue word, lands its weight on the open /ษ/ and tails off through an approximant. Common words like this gain weight from the company they keep on the line.

Why bungalow rhymes the way it does
Bungalow is three-syllable, its rhyme-relevant vowel sitting on the round /ษ/, then it softens through an approximant. In our 54,000-word dictionary the perfect-rhyme pool returns 248 matches, family rhymes 0, additive and subtractive together 1225, assonance 1,936, and consonance 0. That's a deep perfect column. The song can ride strict rhymes from end to end, only sliding into assonance when the line needs to surprise. 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. Bungalow rewards slant rhyming because the strict pool, when over-used, calls attention to itself.
