Thread Name: worst rhyme ever
Subject: RE: worst rhyme ever
My all-time least favorite rhyme is from the Christmas song "Sleigh Ride"

Outside the snow is falling and friends are calling "Yoo hoo!"
You know it's lovely weather for a sleigh ride together with you.


How often do you call "Yoo hoo!"? I don't believe I ever have. Especially if it's freezing-ass cold outside. The whole idea disgusts me. In fact, that rhyme is a major reason why I'm such a Scrooge. I hate Christmas because I hate the idea of people calling "Yoo hoo!".

Now, if the lyricist had written

Outside the snow is falling and puppies are turning blue.

it would still be disgusting, but at least it'd be funny.
