  • That's not as bad as “changing” and “rearranging”… which is surprisingly rampant.

  • IMO, it's because when they are singing it they are pronouncing world as “whirrrrrl.” They leave off the “d” so it rhymes.

  • Pairs that force the singer/speaker to use a particular dialect or accent annoy me a lot more: Does “explain”, “ran”, or “sin” rhyme with “again”?
    Does “queen” or “thin” rhyme with “been”? The short answer is, “it depends on accent”. But in song, where most traces of accent disappear, the rhyme is just going to sound tortured to people who don't use that particular pronunciation. And no, I wouldn't think a YouTube video about these rhymes would be entertaining either. Even without the appallingly annoying host. (I feel really mean saying that, but it's true.)

  • We should just boycott all new songs using this “rhyme”… eventually we'll be able to skim out the real musicians from the Backstreet Boys of the world

  • Also, Mr. YouTube-Video-Maker, when you over-annunciate all of your words, it makes it even more painfully obvious that you can't figure out how to properly sync your video with your audio.
