Why nude rhymes the way it does
Nude is one-syllable, its rhyme-relevant vowel sitting on the rounded /uห/, then it lands on a stopped consonant. In our 54,000-word dictionary the perfect-rhyme pool returns 107 matches, family rhymes 0, additive and subtractive together 154, assonance 3,515, and consonance 779. 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. Nude rewards slant rhyming because the strict pool, when over-used, calls attention to itself.
