The lyric earns it by placement, not by selection. Songwriters reach for it as a household-word. The perfect column comes up empty, the family-rhyme classifier finds nothing, and the slant pool, matched on vowel alone, is huge. When strict matches feel exhausted, the assonance column is where you go fishing.

Why lausanne rhymes the way it does
The phonology of lausanne is a two-syllable core: a low-front /æ/ (/æ/), then it rings out through a nasal. In our 54,000-word dictionary the perfect-rhyme pool returns 0 matches, family rhymes 0, additive and subtractive together 47, assonance 6,681, and consonance 27. 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. 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 lausanne tends to read as dated; the contemporary ear forgives — and often prefers — the slant.
