Words that rhyme with Michel
From a sound-design view, michel is a plain-speech anchor on the mid /ษ/, two-syllable, and it ends on a liquid that pulls the line forward. It's an unremarkable word until the verse asks it to do something. This one travels in song as a plain-speech anchor. Type rhymes for michel into any dictionary and the answer is roughly the same: the perfect-rhyme pool is one of the deeper ones, nothing lands in the family-rhyme column, and the slant-by-vowel pool is enormous. Start strict, scan family, and only reach for assonance when the line wants slant.

Why michel rhymes the way it does
The phonology of michel is a two-syllable core: the short /ษ/ (/ษ/), then it flows into the next line via a liquid. In our 54,000-word dictionary the perfect-rhyme pool returns 107 matches, family rhymes 0, additive and subtractive together 176, assonance 9,384, and consonance 931. 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. 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. Michel rewards slant rhyming because the strict pool, when over-used, calls attention to itself.
