change...rearrange. For some reason, I also find it the most irritating.

Not quite as bad as self/shelf...

― Douglas, Tuesday, 29 October 2002 18:37 (twenty-three years ago)

Moon/June?

― Yancey (ystrickler), Tuesday, 29 October 2002 18:38 (twenty-three years ago)

"love/above" easy, though with the reservation that it's only really supremely awful when "above" is prefix-modified by a thoroughly redundant "up"

pack/crack

― Sterling Clover (s_clover), Tuesday, 29 October 2002 18:40 (twenty-three years ago)

Oh, easy..

Girl/world

Not even a good rhyme...

Without a doubt...

Walk / Talk !!!

eyes/realise

― RJG (RJG), Tuesday, 29 October 2002 18:52 (twenty-three years ago)

you, crew.
Or is that rap.

― Mr Noodles (Mr Noodles), Tuesday, 29 October 2002 18:54 (twenty-three years ago)

The holy trinity: dance/chance/romance. Gives poshos like Chris De Burgh problems, because even if you say "charnce", nobody says "romarnce".

high/fly/sky

My least favorite.

Per Mr. Brian Miller, the fly/sky/high axis of evil. See Lenny Kravitz's "Fly," the lyrics of which were recycled practically verbatim for one of the songs on the most recent U2 album (among 20,000 others).

― Nick A., Tuesday, 29 October 2002 19:38 (twenty-three years ago)

nah, gotta be dance/chance/romance.

― teeny (teeny), Tuesday, 29 October 2002 19:50 (twenty-three years ago)

desire/fire

― Micheline Gros-Jean (Micheline), Tuesday, 29 October 2002 19:53 (twenty-three years ago)

It's easily:

die/fly/lie/guy/try/my/sigh/bye/why?/nigh

Usually used in said songs.

I think Britney Spears set the record herself with "girl/world"

― Curtis Stephens, Wednesday, 30 October 2002 01:02 (twenty-three years ago)

You're all wrong. The true answer is

baby/crazy

crazy/baby

as anyone who cas EVER listened to Quiet Storm can confirm...

Alright/Tonight

― OleM (OleM), Wednesday, 30 October 2002 12:58 (twenty-three years ago)

um...bigga/trigga/nigga seems to be in EVERY gangsta rap song I've ever heard. It was cute the first 30 times they used it...but now its just getting Mod Down: -1 Redundant.

― Yes/No Interlude (Yes/No Interlude), Friday, 1 November 2002 13:24 (twenty-three years ago)

I can't believe "real/feel" hasn't been mentioned yet... also, not just "girl/world" but attempting to rhyme "girl" with anything (curl, whirl, furl, twirl, pearl, Merle, etc.).
