Continuation of color theme next Monday on the Underground Velvet Show, because there were a lot of songs I didn't get to! I'm trying to come up with more themes to do too. I'm thinking:

-songs with "rain" and "sun" themes
-songs about traveling (mentioning a place in the song)

If you miss my show but want to hear the podcast, go to the itunes store, type in "party934 radio podcasts" and download my show (under my name.)

Cliche rhymes in songs

Cliche rhymes in songs:

eyes > butterflies (when I look into your eyes, I feel butterflies, etc)
only > lonely
together > forever
crazy > baby

(I know some of these don't actually rhyme, but that doesn't stop artists from putting them together)

love > above
hands in the air > just don't care


Not a rhyme, but a cliche verse: tears fall like rain, crying raindrops, tears of rain, etc.

Another one that really gets me: any phrase with "the deep blue sea" in it. Same with "high as the clouds" or "high as/in the sky" or "blue as the sky."

Others? Post in comments.
