She hates music

Tim reminds me about I Hate Music, where the lovely Tanya Headon lays into music of all sorts without fear or favour. It’s great. Especially if you like music, because then you’ll have your bubble burst.

Look at the first rhyme he tries to palm off here. “Coffee” and “Cafe”. Very similar words, having exactly the same root. The only difference is the vowel sound - which is the thing that actually rhymes in words. Sure they share that nice c sound, nice f sound. But on that evidence Davis Sneddon Fuck Off would rhyme. Its certainly a more pleasing lyric.

  1. Well, I did mean that the Cs and the Fs can rhyme with each other (but I suspect you knew that).

  3. At the risk of being an even bigger wet blanket, consonance requires assonance to rhyme fully. Consonance on its own can be a half-rhyme. Still not sure how a c and an f might rhyme at all, though ;-)

  5. At the risk of being a pinhead and a wet blanket, the C and the F can rhyme. It’s consonance. She knows what assonance is, though. Curious.

    That said, I’d love to hear her own example in song some time.
