Why makeover rhymes the way it does
To understand why makeover rhymes the way it does, start with the vowel โ the /ษหr/ that mid-Atlantic ears class as one vowel, written /ษหr/ โ and the ending, which ends on a liquid that pulls the line forward. In our 54,000-word dictionary the perfect-rhyme pool returns 0 matches, family rhymes 0, additive and subtractive together 50, assonance 6,680, and consonance 2. 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 makeover tends to read as dated; the contemporary ear forgives โ and often prefers โ the slant.
