Why earthquake rhymes the way it does
The rhyme map for earthquake starts at the vowel โ the centred /ษ/, IPA /ษ/ โ and ends where the line lands on a stopped consonant.

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. Practical guidance: read the song aloud and listen for where a slant would tighten the line. Strict rhymes are the structural skeleton; the slant columns are where the personality of the lyric lives. With earthquake, the slant work is doing more weight-bearing than it looks.
