Words that rhyme with Curriculum
From a sound-design view, curriculum is a plain-speech anchor on a back-mid /ส/, four-syllable, and it rings out through a nasal. Its everydayness lets the song surprise around it. From the rhyme-data side: there are essentially no strict perfect rhymes, family rhymes are simply absent, and the vowel-only slant pool is deep enough to write a whole album from. From the lyric side, it works as an unguarded everyday word. Assonance is where the modern songwriting toolkit lives for this one.

Why curriculum rhymes the way it does
Curriculum is four-syllable, its rhyme-relevant vowel sitting on the unrounded /ส/, then it rings out through a nasal. In our 54,000-word dictionary the perfect-rhyme pool returns 1 match, family rhymes 0, additive and subtractive together 25, assonance 12,652, 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. Curriculum rewards slant rhyming because the strict pool, when over-used, calls attention to itself.
