Words that rhyme with Something
A three-syllable word that reads as a common-tongue word, something sits on the short /ɪ/ and lets the line ring through a nasal. Its everydayness lets the song surprise around it. From the rhyme-data side: no strict pair turns up at all, the family-rhyme classifier finds nothing, and the assonance bucket is the workhorse here. From the lyric side, it works as a word that lives in the head before the senses. When strict matches feel exhausted, the assonance column is where you go fishing.

Why something rhymes the way it does
In our engine, something registers as a three-syllable word on the high /ɪ/ (/ɪ/) that hums to a nasal close. In our 54,000-word dictionary the perfect-rhyme pool returns 0 matches, family rhymes 0, additive and subtractive together 28, assonance 3,809, and consonance 0. 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 something, the slant work is doing more weight-bearing than it looks.
