Words that rhyme with Danger
From a sound-design view, danger is a heat word on the /ษหr/ that mid-Atlantic ears class as one vowel, two-syllable, and it ends on a liquid that pulls the line forward. Songs use it to lift the volume without changing register. Sketch the rhyme pool and you get the strict-rhyme column is bounded, no family-rhyme matches turn up, and the assonance options multiply into the thousands. Sketch the lyric role and you get a thinking-word. Assonance is where the modern songwriting toolkit lives for this one.

Why danger rhymes the way it does
To understand why danger rhymes the way it does, start with the vowel โ the rhotic schwa, written /ษหr/ โ and the ending, which ends on a liquid that pulls the line forward. In our 54,000-word dictionary the perfect-rhyme pool returns 8 matches, family rhymes 0, additive and subtractive together 441, assonance 7,245, and consonance 79. The empty family column matters less than it looks. Family rhymes are a strict-classifier construct; the songwriter's ear accepts most assonance matches in their place. In the room with a guitar: write toward the strict rhyme first, then go back through and replace the obvious ones with the assonance matches that earned their place. Danger is a word that benefits from the second pass.
