Why igor rhymes the way it does
Igor is built around the /ษหr/ vowel (/ษหr/); it's two-syllable and flows into the next line via a liquid. In our 54,000-word dictionary the perfect-rhyme pool returns 74 matches, family rhymes 0, additive and subtractive together 367, assonance 4,504, and consonance 533. 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. In practice: start at the top of the perfect column, scan family next, and reach for the assonance pool when the strict matches feel worn. A lyric that uses only strict rhymes for igor tends to read as dated; the contemporary ear forgives โ and often prefers โ the slant.
