Why muddy rhymes the way it does
To understand why muddy rhymes the way it does, start with the vowel โ the short /ษช/, written /ษช/ โ and the ending, which ends on an open vowel. In our 54,000-word dictionary the perfect-rhyme pool returns 13 matches, family rhymes 0, additive and subtractive together 13, assonance 4,331, and consonance 836. The empty family column matters less than it looks. Family rhymes are a strict-classifier construct; the songwriter's ear accepts most assonance matches in their place. 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. Muddy rewards slant rhyming because the strict pool, when over-used, calls attention to itself.
