Words that rhyme with Mulder
Mulder, a two-syllable stop-by-stop-grocery-shelf word, lands its weight on the /ษหr/ that mid-Atlantic ears class as one vowel and trails through a flowing liquid. It's an unremarkable word until the verse asks it to do something. Sketch the rhyme pool and you get the perfect column comes up empty, the family column is blank, and the slant pool, matched on vowel alone, is huge. Sketch the lyric role and you get a household-word. The slant column is doing the heavy lifting; let it.

Why mulder rhymes the way it does
Pull mulder apart phonetically and you get a two-syllable word with the rhotic schwa (/ษหr/) as the rhyme-bearing vowel; the close 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 33, assonance 4,690, and consonance 310. 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 mulder, the slant work is doing more weight-bearing than it looks.
