Words that rhyme with Intercom
From a sound-design view, intercom is a workaday word on the open /ษ/, three-syllable, and it rings out through a nasal. Its everydayness lets the song surprise around it. Sketch the rhyme pool and you get nothing matches this word strictly, the family-rhyme bucket is bare, and the vowel-only slant column is the deepest of the five. Sketch the lyric role and you get an unguarded everyday word. Use the assonance pool freely; the ear treats most of those matches as rhymes.

Why intercom rhymes the way it does
Intercom sits on the short /ษ/, transcribed /ษ/ in our engine, and hums to a nasal close. In our 54,000-word dictionary the perfect-rhyme pool returns 0 matches, family rhymes 0, additive and subtractive together 23, assonance 13,153, 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. 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 intercom, the slant work is doing more weight-bearing than it looks.
