Saw "Words and Music" last night, a laughable biopic of Rodgers and Hart that came out in the late 1940's (among the first glimpses of future stars like Janet Leigh, Cyd Charisse, Ann Southern, etc.), with Mickey Rooney as the deplorable Larry Hart. One of the leitmotifs of the film was Hart's propensity for making up rhymes for tough words. Thought it would make a good thread. "Orange" supposedly has no rhymes in English. Hart rhymes "Calvin Coolidge" with "eulogy" (coolidge - ey). Other tough nuts to crack are double and triple syllable rhymes -- ("Let's take a kayak to Quinsey or Nyack" is a lovely double that springs to mind).
