That's odd, because the "ü" sound is quite similar to the common "ew" sound in English (such as in "few", "screw", "news" etc).
This still mystifies me. Sounds to me like Jello sings "oober" which is the same sound as in "screw", and "ü" is not pronounced like "ew" anyway.

Is there another way to pronounce the name "Deirdre" that I am not aware of, or are the Beach Boys pulling a "texas chainsaw massacree" bit here?
― Paul Ponzi, Friday, 15 December 2023 15:34 (four months ago) link
How should it be pronounced?
― Free Ass Ange (Tom D.), Friday, 15 December 2023 15:37 (four months ago) link
I know at least one Deirdre, and she pronounces it "dear-druh," and that's how I've always heard it pronounced
― Paul Ponzi, Friday, 15 December 2023 15:38 (four months ago) link
It's usually pronounced Deirdri over here.

In "Tupelo Honey," Van Morrison rhymes "insight" with "granite," and I don't think that's a dialect thing at all.

I've heard "gran-ight" once in a blue moon, out in the world, but remain unclear on whether it's actually an accepted pronunciation in any region or community.

Manic Street Preachers when they made a new album from Richey's notebooks years after he vanished:
"Shards, shards, the androgyny fails,Odalisque by Ingres, extra bones for sale"
sabotaged maybe the best lyric on the album by pronouncing Ingres so that it rhymes with 'embrace'.

"o" is apparently pronounced "ooh" in Norwegian, and "ø" is the u sound in "ur"
gonna start calling Ingres "Oongrur" (ok I will probably never say Ingres out loud ever, but if I do)

Another painter: on Game Theory's "Chardonnay", Scott Miller sings, "gonna take Ernst, Dali and De Chirico", pronounced "CHEER-i-co". Funny, since he had been a student of painting.
