Why heidi rhymes the way it does
In our engine, heidi registers as a two-syllable word on the short /ɪ/ (/ɪ/) that ends on an open vowel. In our 54,000-word dictionary the perfect-rhyme pool returns 0 matches, family rhymes 0, additive and subtractive together 1288, assonance 5,602, 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. Heidi rewards slant rhyming because the strict pool, when over-used, calls attention to itself.
