Why viceroy rhymes the way it does
To understand why viceroy rhymes the way it does, start with the vowel โ the rounded /ษษช/ glide, written /ษษช/ โ and the ending, which opens out at the end. In our 54,000-word dictionary the perfect-rhyme pool returns 0 matches, family rhymes 0, additive and subtractive together 142, assonance 3,054, and consonance 1. 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. Viceroy rewards slant rhyming because the strict pool, when over-used, calls attention to itself.
