Words that rhyme with Tubular
Tubular belongs to the three-syllable group; its vowel is the /ษหr/ vowel, and it flows into the next line via a liquid. The lyric tradition treats it as a quotidian anchor. Its everydayness lets the song surprise around it. Engine returns: nothing matches this word strictly, nothing lands in the family-rhyme column, the assonance column dwarfs the others. Lyric returns: a word the lyric earns weight from by context. When strict matches feel exhausted, the assonance column is where you go fishing.

Why tubular rhymes the way it does
Tubular is built around the broad /ษหr/ (/ษหr/); it's three-syllable and trails through a flowing liquid. In our 54,000-word dictionary the perfect-rhyme pool returns 0 matches, family rhymes 0, additive and subtractive together 160, assonance 3,579, and consonance 7. 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. 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. Tubular rewards slant rhyming because the strict pool, when over-used, calls attention to itself.
