Where I’m from, ghost rhymes with toast.
But it’s based on the quote: For Those About To Die, We Salute You, about Roman gladiators. The gladiators’ final words to the emperor were “Ave Caesar morituri te salutant” - or, “Hail Caesar, we who are about to die, salute you.”’ (copied from the wiki on it), so it’s a direct allusion to the quote.
It’s the one of the few times where my Latin class knowledge made me feel cool. Plus its was the first song on that album, so it opens up that album with the song that tells you to basically prepare for the rocking awesomeness that is about to come next.
True, but actually using Noun A to rhyme with unrelated Noun B, without any sort of foreshadowing to link the two, is incredibly lazy.
Ah. I thought it was a regional thing. Like rhyming creek with hick or Mary and Harry.
I wanna rock and roll all night, and part of every day. From one to three; I’m busy the rest of the day. /Role Models
Yeah?
See here I went and learned sum’n today.
I have no idea if this lyric is stupid, since I can’t make heads or tails of it. Neither could anyone else I know.
I’ll give you some context. It’s from Thespis, by Gilbert and Sullivan.
The gods on Mount Olympus have grown old and tired, and want a vacation from godding. Luckily, along comes a troupe of actors, led by a guy named Thespis. Thespis strikes a deal with the gods in which the actors will take over the godly duties for one year. He finishes up making the deal, then is approached by Mercury.
Mercury: Here come your people
Thespis: People better now
Huh?
Why, oh why is this stuck in my head now?
WTF and Great Caeser’s Ghost
I want jelly, not butter on my toast!
“Bartender Song” by Rehab. Selections include:
The whole song is the singer “talking” to a bartender about getting home drunk (while on parole,) getting beaten up by his girlfriend, stealing her car, and crashing it. And then subsequently getting drunk one last time before he heads back to the slammer.
What I’m most upset about is the line “sittin’ in a bar on the inside waitin’ for my ride on the outside” lyric. Mainly because it doesn’t jibe with prison lingo…I know he means he’s physically inside a building waiting for a cop car that is outside, but in prison lingo, they always use “inside” to mean in jail, and “outside” to mean not in jail, so the line would have worked better had they just changed it to “Sittin’ in a bar on the outside, waitin’ for a ride to the inside.”
Whenever I see one of these threads, I am morally obligated to submit “My Humps” by Black Eyed Peas:
What you gon’ do with all that junk?
All that junk inside your trunk?
I’ma get, get, get, get, you drunk,
Get you love drunk off my hump.
My hump, my hump, my hump, my hump, my hump,
My hump, my hump, my hump, my lovely little lumps. (Check it out)
And, for even more fun, you must watch the greatest parody video of all time.
Mary doesn’t rhyme with Harry?
Not if you come from God’s Country!
Mary rhymes with pairy
Harry rhymes with parry
Now if say they sound the same there’s no help for you 
But…but…they do! 
How do you say these so that they sound different?
Valete,
Vox Imperatoris
Mary = Meh-ree (elongate the ‘eh’ sound more than in ‘meh’)
Harry = Ha!-ree
How can you pronounce Mary and Harry so they rhyme?!
Mary = Meh-ree
Harry = Heh-ree; pronounced the same as “hairy”.
Valete,
Vox Imperatoris
I’ve never heard Harry pronounced like that!
You’ve never heard of Harry Krishna?
That’s strange because you’ve got a prince by that name and for the year that I lived in the UK, I never heard his name pronounced the way I think you’re saying it does…
