Lyrics containing Consonance

POP PUNK
All Time Low : "Dear Maria, count me in"
Dear Maria, count me in/ There's a story at the bottom of this bottle

ELECTRO POP
Owl City : "Dental Care"
And rather than flaunt my style/ I'd flash you a smile of clean pearly whites

HIP HOP
JaRule : "Never Again"
When I got guns to bust and drugs to sell

COUNTRY
Jason Aldean : "Shes Cuntry"

She's a Kansas princess, crazy mother trucker, undercover lover/Thick southern drawl, sexy swing and walk


RAP
Eminem : "We Made You"
Well look at all the massive masses in the stands/Shady man, no, don't massacre the fans

R&B
R Kelly : "Dollar Bill"
Skin copper, na-na stay proper, who could stop her?/Nuthin'. Hey, do a somersault/All that platinum shit you bought?

REGGAE
Bob Marley: "Misty Morning"
The power of philosophy - yea-ea-eah - floats through my head/Light like a feather, heavy as lead


  • Within the lyrics of “Dear Maria, Count Me In,” by All Time Low, the line “There’s a story at the bottom of this bottle” would be an example of consonance. The words bottom and bottle share the same sound and consonant in the middle of the word.
  • Throughout the lyrics of “Dental Care,” by Owl City the line that caught my eye was “And rather than flaunt my style.” This is an example of consonance because the middle of rather, than, and flaunt share the same sound.
  • Listening to the lyrics of “Never Again,” by Ja Rule I found an example of consonance. The words guns, bust and drugs share the same sound as you say them. This would make them be a fine example of consonance in song lyrics.
  • Throughout the song "She's Country" by Jason Aldean there was an example of consonance. The words Aldean used were undercover lover. These words are an example of consonance because they share the same "ov" sound in the center of the word.
  • In the song “We Made You,” by the artist Eminem there was an example of consonance. For example, the line consisted of the words massive, masses, and massacre; these three words share the same sound of “ass” in the middle of the word just as the definition of consonance states.
  • The song “Dollar Bill,” by R. Kelly applies to the rules of consonance. In the lyrics above the words are proper and stop, they both share the same sound of “op” that is made in the middle of the words.
  • “Misty Morning,” by Bob Marley is a great example of consonance. I chose this song because his lyrics that contained the worlds feather, heavy and lead within one line of his song. These words have the same sound expressing the sound of “ea”.
