So, I'm trying to write a new song. And I need a word or phrase that in some way rhymes with "vehicle". →[More:] The best I've got is either "spherical" or, possibly, "cyclical".

You could always take a page from the "Cletus the Slack-Jawed Yokel" theme song.

Some folk'll never eat a skunk
and then again some folk'll,
like Cletus the Slack-Jawed Yokel

Also: Popsicle.

I actually leapt up from the couch and ran in here to post that, and I tweaked my back again doing it.

Cynical? (kind of)
Logical? (kind of)

Anything from the song "logical" by Supertramp, I guess.

There are always the classics to fall back on: motor-sickle.

Also: see hick, all
be hick, all
flee hick, all

ad nauseum.

Mudpuppie, good with the "popsicle". I think "dreamsicle" might work awesomely. And "thefickle", klangklang, is also quite good.

"swee' pickle"

or, if you can work Scorsese in, T. Bickle.

Depends on how you pronounce it and how many syllables you need to rhyme it with.

It's not a good word for rhyming though.
Is that last syllable an El, an Al or an Ul sound where you are?

I know fuck all
about ryhmes that go with vehicle.
Have been through the dictionary alphabetical
marvelled at it being symmetrical

My Vehicle is agreeable, it's ethereal.

Rabbinical? Works well if it's a song about observant Jews on the Sabbath.

It doesn't sound as good if you just choose a word that ends in "icle." It's not a true rhyme if you only rhyme the last part. That said, I can't really think of a word that's a true rhyme.
I don't know what you're lyrics are, but you might have more luck breaking up the rhyming word into two words, eg. rhyming "vehicle" with "be fickle" or "three pickle" or "pee trickle."
Terrible examples, but you get the idea.

When it comes to selecting a ve-hickle
I just want to ride on my motor-sickle.

Context, Mulp! Give us some context!

Regardless, I cannot believe that no one has gone here:

You don't always have to use a perfect rhyme.

In fact, the one song of mine that got chosen to go on a cd a couple of years ago has almost no rhyme in it, but you don't notice.

My suggestion is a word or phrase with three syllables, rhyming with "will" (so it doesn't sound too far off.)

If N.W.A.'s 'Gangsta Gangsta' is any indication, 'vehicle' rhymes with 'time for me to go.'

posted by box 17 May | 14:45

I don't think it rhymes, but I like "Empirical Vehicle" for a band name.
